Adjustable Cargo Pants - Black Coated Waxed Cotton
Product details
MotivMFG is headed by Samuel Wei, founder of Radiance Blue and the pioneer of the heritage market in China; and Daniel Gu, a third-generation tailor and designer. Together, they combine old-world tailoring (from various antique European manuals) with workwear production techniques. Constant research into garment production techniques from around the world inform their designs, with the goal of recreating, as opposed to just reproducing.
Taking inspiration from European military surplus, specifically French and Italian cargo pants, Motiv's Adjustable Cargo pants feature a relaxed fit with anatomically slanted cargo pockets and drawstrings at the waist and hem. Cut with a high rise and full legs, there's plenty of space to move around in, keeping them comfortable and unrestrictive despite their stiff fabric.
The waistband is cut slightly oversized, and is designed to be taken in with the attached drawstring - beneath that, the fly features multiple top buttons that can be selected for another inch of adjustment. Because of the oversized fit and adjustable waist, each size will fit a wide range of people, accommodating about 3" +/- the waistband in either direction.
The fabric is a completely custom waxed cotton, developed exclusively for MotivMFG by Halley Stevenson in the UK, it's medium-weight, with a smooth texture and excellent water resistance. Redesigned for the 2024 season, the latest run of the waxed cotton material features a high contrast coating, selected specifically for the dramatic patina it develops quickly with wear. It's finished with an initial wash to give the fabric an already-worn texture throughout, and will only continue to fade and crease over time, replicating vintage garments.
The inside is as impressive as the outside, with a clean finish interior and almost full lining (using a soft and lightweight brushed cotton twill) through the legs. The hardware is all custom, with metal buttons sewn under fabric reinforcements for maximum durability.
True to size with a highly adjustable waistband. Machine wash cold on delicate cycle and hang dry.
