Cargo pants for Japanese streetwear

Japanese cargo pants start with the pockets

The pockets are the point of a cargo pant, and each pair here treats them differently. On the kanji cargo joggers, the characters 機動 are embroidered in white across big flap pockets that close with swivel clips. The ribbon strap joggers have large flap pockets on both hips and a zip pocket on the thigh, with red camouflage lining the pockets and running down the outer legs. The patchwork pair cuts its raw-edge flap pockets from the same denim blocks as the leg and sets one on the outside of each leg. Pick the pocket detail you like best, and the pair follows.

Cargo joggers or wide-leg cargo pants

Two of these are cargo joggers, tapered into ribbed ankle cuffs, with long straps hanging at the hip. The kanji pair's straps are embroidered with 重工 and 吉業. The ribbon pair's are printed with white lettering and hang from metal rings. Both come in black. The third pair is the opposite shape: a loose, wide straight leg in patchwork denim, joined with white running stitches, in deep indigo or black. Choose the joggers for a gathered cuff above chunky sneakers, and the wide leg if you want the fabric to carry the outfit.

Finding your size in cargo pants

All three have an elastic waist with a drawcord, so the waist has some give, but go by the measurements. The kanji joggers have a 76 cm waist that stretches to 90 cm in Medium. The patchwork pair stretches from 60 to 80 cm in Medium and from 72 to 104 cm in 5XL. Check the length as well: a Medium is 99 cm long in the kanji pair and 94 cm in the patchwork. Keep the top plain, a boxy hoodie or a white tee, because the pants are the statement. The kanji joggers come only in Medium and Large, and Quick shop on each pair shows its sizes. We ship worldwide.
