A pair of US Army green service uniform pants worn by Colin L. Powell as General and as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. The pants are made from a dark olive green polyester fabric and have straight cut legs that are pressed with a crease down the center front and back. The pants close at the center front waist with a green painted metal zipper, one (1) metal flat hook-and-eye, and one (1) round green plastic button through a self-fabric tab. There are seven (7) self-fabric belt loops around the waistband. The pants have two (2) inset pockets, one at each front waist side seam. Two (2) stripes of black woven tape are sewn down the outer side of each leg. There are two (2) welted pockets, one on each back leg below the waist. The proper left back pocket has a self-fabric loop above it that fastens around one (1) round green plastic button. The pants are only lined at the waistband, with the lining bisected by a white woven tape with a repeating design in black embroidery of rifles and the text "PATRIOT". There is a manufacturer's tag on the proper left back pocket lining with style, fiber content, and care information.
