MEN'S CARGO SHORTS

Men's cargo shorts in cotton twill and ripstop, with utility pockets at the thigh. Knee length cuts built for hard wear, sitting alongside our chino shorts in black, khaki and beige.

Cargo shorts carry thigh pockets and a durable cotton, cut to sit at or just above the knee.

Pockets and fabric

Flatter pockets set slightly to the side sit close to the leg and add less width. Bellows pockets carry more. Ripstop breathes and dries faster, which suits summer; twill has more body and takes harder wear.

Pairing and sizing

Keep the top half plain, with a t-shirt or overshirt, since there is already detail below the waist. Take your usual waist and check the pocket sits on the side of the thigh rather than the front. See chino shorts for a cleaner leg and cargo trousers for full length.
