For the good stuff ? Always buy thrift, long as you know how to clean the absolute hell out of them properly, I find it’s a worthwhile venture.
Kuhl zip-off cargo pants / shorts!
Seconding kuhl. They sell cargo pants that look and fit like regular pants should.
Not Costco’s cargo shorts. I bought two separate pairs and both got giant holes in the back out of nowhere. I don’t have holes in any of my other pants/shorts. I don’t even know how it happened, but clearly cheap af and not worth it, even if they were affordable.
Dickies is pretty tried and true and easy to source.
If it needs quick dry fabric or zippers then things start veering off.
I do like Dickies.
Go for something oversized where you can stuff things into the pockets without fully unbuttoning them. Heavier fabric is usually longer lasting, and if you live up north it is getting cold.
I suggest pairing them with some Vans and maybe a Korn shirt.
Bonus points for using an oversized heavy flannel as a jacket. You can tie it around your waist if it gets too warm.
Another great accessory would be a nice hemp bracelet, necklace, or choker with beads.
1998 is back!
It’s never been gone for me.
I recommend you don’t wear cargo pants.
True there are absolutely no circumstances whatsoever where a person would need or want cargo pants
Believe it or not but we’ve come full-circle on cargo pants and they are once again considered to be fashionable with young people and the streetwear crowd.
You replied to the wrong comment ;)

You don’t want to argue with Doctor Mantis Toboggan about cargo pants, that’s for sure 🙄
I find the ones marketed to cops/emts/firefighters to typically be pretty good quality. If I didn’t hate the color, I would wear my work pants if I was going to wear cargo pants.
Seconding this. And if you keep an eye out, you can pick them up cheap on Botach’s clearance section https://botach.com/clearance
My summer job gives us Mascot workwear. They’re so great I wear them all the time.
walmart ?
or do you mean super technical ones that use overpriced fabrics and labels ?
A decent brand. It doesn’t need overpriced fabrics.
Carhartt
Old Navy(Canada) has nice and cheap cargo pants, especially when they are on sale.
Uniqlo cargo joggers are my jam but I don’t seem them listed on their website currently, might be a seasonal thing. Their regular cargo pants are fine too, but a little bit on the baggy side. I just really like their pants in general, honestly.
I like Uniqlo shirts, but I’ve found their pants to be more hit or miss.
I like Key Apparel “Maverick cargo flex pant”…just wish they had a blue option. Only black or light gray.
Wrangler makes pants and shorts with the same pockets. I’ve been wearing them for years. Walmart carries them.
But the pocket layout is a little stupid. Anything wider than it is tall is just a failure.
Are you looking for something for everyday wear, or something more rugged/functional?
I got a pair from Cabela’s. “Force” something or other. Has a thread grid like ripstop, but not nylon. Comfy, durable.
My ex loved zippers.
