Full size guide →Men's black cargo trousers, a colour out of the field
In the field, you try to disappear: hence khaki, olive, sand, then camouflage. Black does the opposite; it cuts out a silhouette on almost any background, and it is not a country colour. These men's black cargo trousers keep the architecture of the Battle Dress Uniform, the American combat uniform of the early 1980s to the mid-2000s: the pockets, the cloth, the strength. They drop the warlike reference, and that is what makes them the most urban of our three cargo trousers.
Cut and sizing
The period cargo, straight and bloused, was worn tucked into boots. Ours is tapered: wide at the top of the thigh for movement, narrowed toward the ankle. The dense cloth does not stretch in wear: if in doubt, the size guide helps you decide. From 28 to 38.
How to wear men's black cargo trousers
In total black, with a T-shirt and dark ankle boots: they become a neutral base rather than a statement piece. Against a frank colour: a chambray shirt, a light grey sweater or an olive moleskin jacket. In the evening, they are the only one of our three cargos that takes a dress shoe without clashing. They also come in khaki and navy.
Care
- Machine 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.
- Air dry in the shade: black fears heat and direct sun most.
- Iron at medium heat, on the reverse.
Gusseted pockets without relief
On a dark cloth, the eye no longer reads colour: it reads relief. A visible button or a misaligned flap becomes the first detail you see. That is why the pocket button disappears entirely under the flap, thanks to a finish we developed. The two side pockets are gusseted: they gain volume when filled and stay flat when empty, and their inseam is reinforced.
Patina and durability
In three years, this black cargo will still be just as sharp.
In the field, you try to disappear; no army ever wore black. This cargo keeps the architecture of the American Battle Dress Uniform, gusseted pockets and double-button flaps, in a strictly civilian colour. A very tight 296 g/m² canvas that softens without deforming. Here is how.
-
firm material, solid color, clean finishes.
-
the piece softens where it works the most.
-
wear creases mark themselves and return from one wear to the next.
-
follow the composition instructions; excessive heat and tumble dryers are to be avoided.
-
borders and friction zones soften first.
-
the color shades with use, without aging all at once.
-
the piece is made: supple, familiar, always holding.
-
a seam, a button, a snag is mended in the workshop.
-
nearly three years: a well-kept piece gains in character what it loses in newness.
It is the dressiest of the three cargos: it takes a shirt, a jacket, dress shoes. The corozo buttons are invisible to keep a clean line. The cargo for those who want the pockets without the uniform.
A tight cloth that softens
The cloth is a very tight canvas of 296 g/m², woven from 96% cotton and 4% wool, which adds a little warmth in winter. It is treated to be water-repellent: enough for a shower, without making them rain trousers. A little firm at first, like any dense cloth, it softens over the first few washes without losing shape. The trousers are made in Morocco.
Straps, drawcord and a hidden detail
At the back, the pockets close with a buttoned flap, and metal-buckle straps adjust the waist. The drawcord at the hem, inherited from the military model, tightens the ankle if you like: on the Battle Dress Uniform, it was used to tuck the bottom into boots. Finally, one detail hides under the hem; you discover it by turning the cuff up.
We are here to help you

Our clothes are made from exceptional materials (Japanese selvedge denim, French wool from Tournier…) and assembled on vintage machines.
Every piece is designed to last, evolve and develop a patina over time. The fabrics are developed to our own specifications: we design our own weaves, then have them woven by the best mills in the world (Japan, France, Italy, Portugal, Morocco), often on old looms. A new cloth can take up to a year to come to life.
This exacting standard is what sets Champ de Manoeuvres apart.
