Men's Pleated Cotton Cargo Trousers
How to spot the original Pleated Cargo Trousers
Two large bellows cargo pockets sit on the thighs, each with a wide flap and a deep inverted pleat down the front, so they open out to hold a phone or wallet.
Below each cargo pocket, angled darts at the knee pull the leg into a soft curved shape, so the wide legs drape and move rather than hanging flat and stiff.
Washed cotton twill with a slightly faded, lived-in tone, finished with a metal button and zip fly, belt loops and two slanted side pockets for your hands.
The details
Pleats and patch pockets
Pleats down the legs give shape and movement, and the big patch pockets add the classic cargo look.
The cotton is soft from the first wear and gets better with every wash.
The pleats run down the front of each leg and fall neatly, even after a day of sitting and walking.
Front pleats give these cotton cargos a smarter drape than most utility trousers.
The fit
Relaxed, S to 3XL
The leg is relaxed and wide with room through the thigh.
Waist measurements run from 68 to 93 cm and the length from 100 to 107.5 cm.
The relaxed wide leg is comfortable for driving, cycling and long days, and looks modern with chunky trainers.
The relaxed fit is comfortable for long days, from M to 3XL. The pleats give a little extra room at the hip, so they stay comfortable when you sit, crouch or drive, and the patch pockets hold a phone, keys and wallet securely. They look sharp with a crew neck jumper and boots.

From Maria & Denis
These pleated cotton cargo trousers have a relaxed, wide leg and big patch pockets, the easy pair you will reach for all week.
Soft but sturdy cotton, pleats down the front of the leg and a zip fly give them a neater look than most cargo trousers.
We like these because they keep the useful cargo pockets but lose the scruffy look: the pleats give the legs a sharp line that looks considered.
Black, dark grey, army green or coffee, in sizes S to 3XL.

Questions and answers
How do I choose my size in these trousers?
They come in sizes S to 3XL. The size guide on this page gives measurements of the trousers themselves, taken flat: waist, hip, thigh, length and hem. Measure a similar pair you own, laid flat, and compare it with the chart; free UK delivery and 30 days to return give you time to check the fit at home.
How do I wash these trousers?
Wash at 30°C inside out with similar colours, hang to dry. Hang it to dry rather than tumble drying, which keeps the colour fresh and stops shrinking. A quick cool iron or a steamer smooths it out in seconds.
What are these trousers made of?
They are made from 100% cotton. Cotton is breathable and soft against the skin, so it is comfortable all day.
What do I wear with cargo trousers?
A plain T-shirt, a hoodie or a fine knit lets the pockets stay the focus. Trainers or chunky boots suit the relaxed cut, and a denim or bomber jacket finishes the look.
How long are these trousers?
The chart gives a length of 100 cm for size S, up to 107.5 cm for size 3XL. Measure a pair you own from the waistband down to the hem and compare. Small differences of 1–2 cm are normal for measurements taken by hand.
