The "blousy" feel probably has to do with where and how the cargo pockets are on the Survival vs the Workmans.

Since the Survival has slash pockets as well, the cargo pockets are mounted lower down the side than on the Workmans, below the opening for the slash pockets.

I'll wager that if you take the pockets off the Survival for a day, and then switch to the Workman's, they won't feel so different. (Except for the rigidity of the fabric.) I find having the pockets lower down makes me feel like my thighs are bigger... and maybe that is the "blousy" feeling you are talking about.

A possibility...?
