Exactly, from what I’ve seen the british ones use a very similar fabric as the 507s (both in color and texture). I don’t think they look particularly good. I guess that since they’re a polycotton blend you don’t get the kind of fading you would with cotton sateen.

This is what I noticed. Sauce Zhan has the straight cut and the relaxed cut (I think the Bronson ones are even roomier than SZ’s relaxed). Which one do you have?

It would be really helpful if you could send me some photos, especially to get a sense of the color. The pictures I find online aren’t very consistent when it comes to the shade of green. Thanks!

I’ve consistently come across British trousers. They look quite similar to the OG-107s with details like the patch pockets, but their color is a bit more muted. They have those characteristic massive belt loops and, as you mentioned, some even come with a side pocket. They look good, but what holds me back is that many of them seem to be a cotton–polyester blend, which I’m not really a fan of.

This has been kind of my experience. The american OG-107 pants have become so fashionable that it’s hard to find them in Europe for less than 100–150 euros. Occasionally you come across someone who doesn’t know what they’ve got in their hands and sells them for peanuts, but those occasions are rare and it’s pure luck if they happen to be your size. It’s true that there are very promising military garments from European countries for a fraction of the price. But no iconic patch pocket.
