Finding the Right Cargo Pants
Cargo Pants made their debut as a part of American apparel during the 1940's. Borrowed from the British, they were mainly used as military gear by our paratroopers, who found the roomy side pockets convenient for easy access to ammunition and radios.
The traditional cargo pant is a utilitarian pair of
Khaki pants with large square-shaped patch pockets located on the side of each pant leg, placed at the lower thigh. These cargo pockets are in addition to the standard front pockets.
Cargo pants burst onto the fashion scene in the mid-to-late 1990s, when urban hip-hop performers adopted them as chic street fashion. This trend then moved into to the mass market where cargo pants became ubiquitous at nearly all men's and women's clothing stores nationwide.
Now an established part of our daily work and casual wardrobes, their continuing appeal is based on their ability to be both tough and stylish, whether they are being worn for work or for play. Check out
