Pawing thru Sportsman's Guide today, I noticed a number of uniform items for people interested in getting ABUs and such at a good price.
Sadly, I didn't see ABU trousers, just shirts, but its a start:

Like I said, no relation to Sportsman's guide, just a happy longtime customer.
Good news! I (think I) found the ABU pants! The link, and title say say "BDU" but the pictures are of ABUs so, YMMV.

Described as "Nylon cotton twill blend" - probably the heavy weight fabric of the initial production runs.
I dont know anything about the quality of the HQ brand, but that is a killer price!
I cant buy BBDU's wholesale for that price much less retail, and that doesn't include shipping which usually eats up quite a bit of my profit. I cant give ACU/ABU's away so I quit buying or taking them on trade, but again, these are good prices.
