Rinsed cargo pants are a form of a classic that take the cotton material, and treat it with water - making it super soft. We've got a pair from fan favorite, Carharrt WIP, that is all billow-y and makes for a great expression in these rainy, blustery days. Rinsed cargo pants mix softness of materials with the hardness of utilitarianism. The best of both worlds, one might say.
It's not long before the snow makes itself known - just in time for xmas. Before we get a chance to tread softly in some freshly fallen snow, let's tread softly in some soft cargo to make the most of the run-up to the very busy period facing us all - the holidays.
It comes in three solid colorways - great options for your cargo pants rotation.
Carharrt WIP Rinsed Cotton Cargo Pants - Smoke Green
The 'Smoke Green' colorway has pockets and lots of them. Plus a cute lil Carharrt WIP logo to one side - it's a keeper.
Carharrt WIP Rinsed Cotton Cargo Pants - Barista
The 'Barista' colorway is a soft, muted brown to go with your morning latte. Or flat white, if you're a Berlin rat. Or to match the bark of a tree. Get back to basics with this pair.
Carharrt WIP Rinsed Cotton Cargo Pants - Vulcan
The 'Vulcan' colorway for all you Trekkies out there. This is a nice way to pay homage to the true color to rule them all: black. See, it works as a Lord of the Rings reference, as well.
Several brands are on the rinsed/washed cotton cargo gravy train.
It's not just Carharrt WIP that rules the rinsed cargo pant domain. There are options that can suit a variety of styles, including a dressy moment by Heron Preston, a flight pant option by Brain Dead as well as denim cargos by We11done. See below for the rinsed cargo treats.
