I had many questions about cargo shorts.
Namely, what’s all the fuss about them? Aren’t they just short pants?
I was surprised to learn that they are actually so much more.
To begin, let’s define what a cargo short is. Although yes, it is a knee-length version of cargo pants, it has many different significant features, one of which is pockets that are typically on the sides of the legs at the thigh level. In addition, all cargo shorts are stitched with strong material, which makes them incredibly advantageous when it comes to wearing them outdoors.
Cargo pants became a thing when they were introduced in the 1940s during World War II. They were used by the U.S. Air Force to access supplies during flights or ammunition when hiding on top of mountains.
Today, cargo shorts can be a common symbol of fashion and practicality for both men and women. While they look good, they are more versatile than your average pair of shorts because of their unrestricted movement. In addition, those pockets I mentioned are specifically designed to be large enough to hold tools and materials related to the rigors of the job at hand, without limiting the wearer's mobility, and they are built to withstand tough conditions.
Plus, they are super comfortable.
These men’s shorts are designed with 97% cotton and 3% elastane blends of material, which is what provides so much durability, breathability, and flexibility of each pair. Most also feature a weave canvas fabric that gives the cargo shorts additional comfort, as well as a mechanical stretch.
The utility cargo shorts are crafted with lightweight pre-shrunk cotton drills and are incorporated with triple-stitched seams. This is a very important attribute of cargo shorts because it ensures that they do not shrink once they are washed or ironed.
For women, cargo shorts offer the perfect feminine fit with a soft fabric blend. They have 12 multi-function pockets, an extra-large cargo pocket, pencil pocket, ruler pocket, mobile phone pocket, and extra-wide belt loops with an accessory holder.
The lightweight chino shorts made from viscose fabric come with a Teflon and super crease finish, which is advantageous because it resists stains while retaining the leg crease in the shorts. They also feature reinforced double-layer pocket patches and a discrete side welt pocket. Cargo shorts come with wide heavy-duty belt loops that can easily accommodate any type of belt, especially common work belts. Most feature pockets on both legs with flaps, a tape closure, and a constructed waistband providing just the right fit for the person wearing them.
In hot and physically demanding environments, the cargo shorts are beneficial because they are designed to be lightweight made from breathable cotton to keep men cool and comfortable in all tough situations. For women, cargo shorts are designed with a focus on fine details like internal waistband binding and stitching, reinforced internal pocket bags, relaxed fit with an internal drawcord, and multiple pockets for all storage needs.
Cargo shorts come in a wide range of sizes ranging from XS to 4XL with a vast collection of more than 12 colors and patterns to choose from that include top brands in the market.
In addition, cargo pants can be uniquely digitally printed so that you can include your own company logo or brand on each pair.
In conclusion, I now understand just how versatile cargo pants are, and that they are clearly so much more than simply short pants.
