The American army took up the idea during the Second World War on its paratroopers' uniform, to hold rations and ammunition. The Battle Dress Uniform, the American combat uniform from the early 1980s, then set the grammar we know: gusseted thigh pockets, buttoned flaps, a drawcord at the hem. These men's khaki cargo trousers keep the whole architecture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: 96% cotton, 4% wool\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrigin: made in Morocco\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetail: original colour\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetail: 296 g\/m² canvas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetail: tapered carrot cut\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKhaki, the colour of dust\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKhaki was not chosen for its looks. The word comes from Persian \u003cem\u003ekhāki\u003c\/em\u003e, \"earthy\", \"dusty\"; the British army in India used it from 1848, and the shade attached itself to land armies at the beginning of the 20th century. You had to blend in with the terrain. Our khaki is a muted green, close to dry earth: it is the original colour of the cargo, and the one that goes most naturally with work jackets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eA tight cloth, finished inside\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cloth is a very tight canvas of 296 g\/m², woven from 96% cotton and 4% wool: the wool adds a little warmth in winter without changing the feel of the cotton. It is treated to be water-repellent, which is enough for a shower, without making them rain trousers. Inside, the pockets and waistband are lined with an ecru cotton, and the crotch is built with flat-felled seams, the strongest for an area that works hard. The trousers are made in Morocco.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eGusseted pockets with no visible button\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe two side pockets are gusseted: they gain volume when filled and stay flat when empty. They close with a flap, and a finish we developed hides the corozo buttons entirely underneath: opening stays easy, but nothing sticks out. At the back, flap pockets and waist adjustment straps complete the set. One last detail hides under the hem; you discover it by turning the cuff up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCut and sizing\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe period cargo, straight and bloused, was designed to be tucked into boots; over a low shoe, it thickens the leg. Ours stays wide at the top of the thigh, then tapers clearly toward the ankle. The drawcord at the hem, inherited from the military model, tightens the bottom further if you like. The very tight cloth does not stretch in wear: if in doubt, the \u003ca href=\"\/en-us\/pages\/guide-des-tailles\"\u003esize guide\u003c\/a\u003e helps you decide. From 28 to 36.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to wear men's khaki cargo trousers\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith a \u003ca href=\"\/en-us\/collections\/homme-vestes-de-travail\"\u003ework jacket\u003c\/a\u003e: two functional pieces, provided the shades differ. With knitwear, a \u003ca href=\"\/en-us\/products\/pull-marin-indigo\"\u003eindigo sailor sweater\u003c\/a\u003e for example, which softens the military side and avoids the fancy-dress effect. Turned up over sneakers, a short cuff frees the ankle and shows the hidden detail. They also come in \u003ca href=\"\/en-us\/products\/cargo-pant-noir\"\u003eblack\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"\/en-us\/products\/cargopant-bdu-marine\"\u003enavy\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCare\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMachine washable at home: 30 °C (86 °F) inside out, short cycle, mild detergent with no bleaching agent, and separately the first few times, because dyed cotton bleeds slightly. No tumble dryer and no fabric softener, which clogs the fibre and reduces the water-repellent effect. Air dry in the shade; iron at medium heat, on the reverse.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Champ de Manoeuvres","offers":[{"title":"28","offer_id":40366884487253,"sku":null,"price":139.28,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"29","offer_id":40366884520021,"sku":null,"price":139.28,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"30","offer_id":40366884552789,"sku":null,"price":139.28,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"31","offer_id":40366884585557,"sku":null,"price":139.28,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"32","offer_id":40366884618325,"sku":null,"price":139.28,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"33","offer_id":40366884651093,"sku":null,"price":139.28,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"34","offer_id":40366884683861,"sku":null,"price":139.28,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"36","offer_id":40366884716629,"sku":null,"price":139.28,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/7115\/4005\/files\/cargo-pant-kaki-champ-de-manoeuvres-1-44262120685901.jpg?v=1789671565","url":"https:\/\/champdemanoeuvres.com\/en-us\/products\/mens-khaki-cargo-trousers-296gsm","provider":"Champ de Manoeuvres ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
