Cargos

[viv1984viv]

Morning SuFu,

Sorry if this has been posted before, did search but nothing came up.

Cargos, I'd really like a new pair, my old uniqlo have been my favourite trousers for a long time, side pockets and drawstrings at the hem - nice drape, great.

I'd love to see some RRL examples ( not available online as far as I can tell ) or perhaps some Amerkaji brand cargos. I would also like to see some examples from the more technically developed end of the spectrum.

So let me know what you got, fit pics and original photos get rep.

Supreme has cargos this season in ripstop. Not too $$$ at $118. I'm sure there's heads up in here that have it and can provide fits and details...

[the breaks]

C.P. Company make nice ones.. you can find them on eBay regularly.

RRL

10 char

[viv1984viv]

thanks guys, good suggestions - I'd really like to see some pics of the RRL, half tempted to just call a store to see if they could sell em over the phone.

I'm UK based so perhaps not as readily available as in US.

Carhartt look nice.

I could see any cargos on CP company UK site.

[Spaghettini]

Spurr has a nice pair of slim cargos this seaon

If you're looking for something more dressy, you can occasionally find Brunello Cucinelli cargos on SF's F/S forum.

Brunello Cucinelli - not exactly what I was looking for but their cashmere jumpers look lovely, bookmarked for later.

Just bought carhartt cargos,

i like the look of the rigid cramerton dockers but not at 185 usd

the steven alan ranger pant in gingerbread is calling my name (quietly and with a lisp)

[viv1984viv]

sup d, must spread yadada,

carhartt cargos arrived today, need a shorter leg, especially with the knee darts....

Agh

Anyone have any clues on where to find nice grey wool cargo pants? Nothing too burly though, thinking along the lines of maybe a herringbone fabric.

[viv1984viv]

herringbone and cargo just doesn't feel aesthetically analogous - I bet someone does it but mmmmmmm

[Vampyrvargfesten]

Yeah, I saw that but the scotch & soda ones are the only decent-looking ones from that roundup, and I don't trust the quality. The rest are just like flip-flop, throw on some extra pockets, who cares, there you go.

I want something that looks a little rough, a little lux (as in, these clearly aren't from the army-navy store), but without veering toward any gothy, s&m-type bondage influences, which is my only hang-up about the julius. I'll keep looking.

takahiro miyashita comin thru with the cargo broodiness, if there was such a thing.

taper is rediculous on this thing, but i'd be super dope if you could wear it like one size bigger and pair it with a casual wool blazer.

mark mcnairy grey wool slim cargo pants

also, this might be this year's oddest collaboration ever? :confused:

opening ceremony x tron legacy cargo pants

here is the old cargo pants thread created by minya for older material and reference:

http://www.superfuture.com/supertalk/showthread.php?t=20827

can a mod please combine the two threads?

there might be another cargo pant thread that may be floating around in the depths of sufu but i cannot find it

[denimdestroyedmylife]

i was looking long and hard (wink) at those mcnairy joints but the rise is so short and the inseam so small - doesn't make sense for a cargo pant like that; i just went and picked up a tru-spec 8 pocket pant for like 1/4 the cost, i will report back once it hits (i got a digi cam version):

of course, there's the veilance cargo

i know the cotton duck has it (maybe the LT version)

and there's always the arcteryx rampart and raider pants, if you like the technical thing

that thread has been dead for two years

the links are mostly broken

i don't see why you'd want this thread merged with that one

nostalgic?

Those would look great with a new supreme hat.

[denimdestroyedmylife]

what are those shoes?

I'd definitely try this. My concern, though, is that with the hem and the way the material looks, it'd veer too far towards leggings territory. But is this line available now?

mcnairy cargos:

short rise and inseam: wear 'em slightly below the waist

looks good on mark himself

tru-spec:

are those the 100% cotton ones or the cotton/poly blend?

looking forward to see you pull off the digi cam print

i couldn't pull the trigger on the digicam mcnairy pants, because i'd definitely get some awkward stares from some ROTC guys i know

[willy cheesesteak]

i've tried on the tru-specs before and it's def more of a "loose" fit.

mcnairy looks bizarre

just overkill

the undone flaps on the monkstraps

the bowtie

the watchface on the inner wrist

the damned tote

i am surprised he doesn't wear his eyeglasses upside down

i am a little scared about the tru-specs tbh

but i just need the extra pockets on the weekends since i need to carry two cell phones, a notepad, and other gear

i've got friends that carry weapons for work and you wouldn't know it to look at them

i certainly tend to look like i'm concealing a weapon what with the weird bulges in my pants... uh...

william gibson discusses this in a wired interview:

Q: but you also talk very funnily about the "gear queer" -- people who fetishise slick military materials and gear. Science fiction has been gear queer for decades of course…

A: That’s part of the joke for me! With gear queer I think there is a big appeal in things that provide an illusion of control. The actual "gear queer hits the street" look is crazier than that -- I don’t really understand it… As near as I can tell it’s the look of people who aren’t carrying a gun but want to make you think they are. It’s a mad look -- the people they imagine they are dressing up as will never be caught dead in any of that gear, because they are carrying guns.

Their uniform is baggy khakis and a striped polo shirt and a faded ball cap. It’s called "grey man" and it’s this look that’s in-between everything… Are they tennis playing tech executives, or are they there to fix the air conditioner? You sort of can’t tell. It’s designed to attract absolutely no attention and project as little law enforcement and special forces vibe as possible. It’s become so popular that now when I see anyone wearing that uniform I check for the bulge of a weapon. In Afghanistan I’ve been told that with a very specific trim of beard that look will get you in trouble unless you genuinely are the real thing.

[proteus]

Thanks Vampyrvargfesten, but there's really waaaaay too many pockets on those! I picked up a pair in Tokyo from R Newbold, but there were quite a few nice ones at Beams too

[superBobo]

^^Im with DDML

Mcnairy looks shitty, and lowrise, muffin top cargos is a really bad idea.

[echoepidemic]

well... if you're fat and have a muffin top you're fucked no matter what

[Knolok]

How's the fit on the Uniqlo cargo?
