Men's Tapered Cargo Trousers with Drawstring
How to spot the original Tapered Cargo Trousers
Elasticated cuffs gather the hem at the ankle, so the tapered legs sit neatly above your trainers instead of bunching on the floor or catching on wet pavements.
Large square patch pockets sit flat on the front, matched by a long panel seam down each leg and a patch pocket at the back, giving clean workwear lines.
Soft lyocell with a slight stretch and a gentle faded wash across the thighs, plus an elasticated waistband with a button and zip fly for an easy, comfortable fit.

The fabric
Smooth plant-based lyocell
Lyocell is made from wood pulp, so it breathes like a natural fibre and has a soft, slightly fluid drape.
The panelled legs and patch pockets give the trousers a clean, modern shape.
Lyocell breathes like cotton and feels cool in heated rooms, which makes these comfortable on long days.
Plant-based lyocell gives these cargos a smooth, cool feel that drapes beautifully and stays comfortable on warm days.
The fit
Tapered, M to 5XL
The leg is roomy at the top and tapers to the ankle, with a drawstring waist for an easy fit.
Waist measurements run from 65 cm on the M to 89 cm on the 5XL.
The tapered leg and gathered ankle show off your trainers and stop the hems dragging in the rain.
The tapered leg keeps the look clean above trainers, and the drawstring lets you set the fit. Lyocell also resists creasing and feels smooth against the skin, so they stay neat on long journeys and busy days. The extended size range up to 5XL offers a comfortable fit for more builds, and the cargo pockets keep essentials close.

Questions and answers
How do I choose my size in these trousers?
They come in sizes M to 5XL. The size guide on this page gives measurements of the trousers themselves, taken flat: waist, hip, leg opening and inside leg. 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, hang to dry, cool iron if needed. A cool iron on the reverse keeps the surface smooth.
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 inside leg of 96 cm for size M, up to 102 cm for size 5XL. Measure a pair you own from the crotch seam down to the hem and compare. Small differences of 1–2 cm are normal for measurements taken by hand.
