Official Gear - ASA Official Pants

[Dakota]

I need to replace one of my pairs of plate pants - they are Honigs generics that were cheap (and inexpensive) and have seen better days. They are so sun-faded they have a brownish tint.

I have a question for anyone who has purchased plate pants from officialgear.com (ASA's site).

How do the quality of these pants compare with Cliff Keen?

How are the official gear pants constructed? Double stitched? Extra liner in the seat area? Do the belt loops stand up to the extra stress? Any problems with wear and tear (zippers separating, buttons coming off, stitching?)

I don't want to spend Cliff Keen prices and end up with Honigs generic quality, but the picture on the official gear site is not much help. Neither is their description.
