Cargo trousers have been a mainstay of utilitarian style since the 1930s, when they were issued to soldiers in the British Army. Polo Ralph Lauren's pair is similar to those worn by the U.S. military in the '40s, '50s and '60s, with oversized pockets and reinforced stitching. They're cut for a loose fit from hard-wearing cotton and have drawstrings at the ankles, so you can alter the shape.
