Cargo Pants

Post by SkyChief »

Anyone know where I can find some decent cargo pants, similar in color and drape to Indy's pants but with cargo pockets?

I can't seem to find anything worthwhile online, everything seems to be "skinny fit" with slim legs, nothing like Indy's.

Thanks in advance for any leads!

I would say try any kind of military shop. BDU type cargo pants should work...

Perhaps not what you're looking for, but maybe... :-k

Maybe try LL Bean's Men's Tropic-Weight Cargo Pants, Natural Fit -- https://www.llbean.com/llb/shop/19922?productId=356870" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Very comfortable looser-fitting 3-season pants, wash/dry well. Even in winter, I wear them indoors instead of jeans.

They also make a slightly less-loose "classic fit" version, which is still plenty roomy.

I love cargo pants... but I'm rough on them and tend to shred the knees. Levis made decent ones, but alas I destroyed those too. My go-to cargo pants now are these by Wrangler: https://www.wrangler.com/shop/wrangler- ... 3W060.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I think they work well for a more modern Indy look:

They're not cheap, but so far I've worn the heck out of these (I currently have three pairs) and have had zero problems.

I wasn't even looking for such pants but I don't mind these ;)

I’m a big fan of these, but they’re kinda pricey as well.

Is it a felt wool hat? Do you find it comfortable in such a hot climate?

Again, thanks for the tip! Just bought some, they arrived yesterday. So far I like 'em :)

Yes, it's a fur felt fedora... I've worn these in every climate and find it breathes well enough for me. Though I DO sweat through to the outer ribbon.
