Men's Distressed Cargo Trousers - Cotton Straight Leg, M to 3XL

What it is made of

Cotton, distressed after weaving. Real abrasion on real cotton ages the way a worn trouser ages, because it is the same process arrested early; a printed fade sits on the surface and lifts off it. The trade-off is honest: these are cotton trousers with wear already in them, and they will keep developing.

How it fits

Mid waist with a zip fly, relaxed through the seat and thigh, straight to the hem. Sizes M to 3XL. The relaxed cut is what the distressing needs - the marks fall where a loose trouser creases, so they read as history rather than as decoration.

Where it earns its place

• Abraded cotton rather than a printed fade, so it ages instead of peeling
• Relaxed through the seat and thigh, with room to sit
• Cargo pockets deep enough to hold a phone without it riding out
• Apricot or black, sizes M to 3XL
