A Tactical Sausage pocket for our times…
Once used for a baton in the original military design, this pocket will now accommodate a good twelve inches of your choice of dry cured meat.

Check your waist
Some brands use ”vanity sizing” but we don’t. “Stretch” jeans from other brands might actually be several inches bigger than they say on the label.
1. Grab a pair of trousers that fit you & a tape measure.
2. Do up the top button & lay them flat on a table.
3. Measure across (inches) like the photo below:
4. Double that number & you have the waist size. Easy!
If you’re between sizes, we recommend going UP – so if your jeans measure 18.5 across go for a 38 not a 36.
Final stock.
100% cotton, tightly woven 8.5oz herringbone twill. Loose fit. Proper sized pockets. Waist adjusters. Sweet.
We swore we’d never make cargo pants, just like we’d never make jeans. Zip fly, no back pockets, big side pockets? Surely not…
We do love a good u-turn though and now they’re our go-to warm weather wear.
The epiphany came when Ed dug out a pair of 1990s special forces pants at Rag Parade, the amazing vintage clothing shop in Sheffield. He wore them for a while and found he loved the relaxed, light weight feel, the practicality of the pocket placements and the ability to get the perfect fit without a belt. We made some key pattern and cloth changes and here you have your new favourite pants.

Fully UK made like everything we do.
Made at Cookson and Clegg in Blackburn who used to make for the MOD and other forces (before it all sadly went off shore). This is our exclusive take on an old UK military design. Proper old school army style cloth sourced from our German supplier. Adjustable continuous waistband that runs between the adjusters, all the way round the back of the pants. Pre-washed so they won’t shrink.
Loose fit
Waistband adjusters to fine tune the fit
Proper size jet waist pockets.
Bellows side pockets with plastic-free Corozo buttons.
British-made zip fly. Corozo top button.
It’s all about the cloth. 100% cotton, tightly woven 8.5oz herringbone twill. Originally used in military wear for its toughness and breathability. Oh and it looks cool as fuck.
Roll them up
(if you want, or if you’re a short arse)…
Wear the Cargo Pants your way ‘cos you’re worth it.
Satisfy your inner hipster with a turn up, or wear them as they come (rolled down).

Cargo Pants / Navy
Christopher Josiffe (verified owner) –
Fine herringbone twill cloth, amply cut for a loose fit. The waist adjusters are an excellent idea, one that was more widely used in the 1960s and earlier, and well worth reviving – especially for people like myself whose waist measurement varies throughout the year, according on beer & pie consumption in autumn & winter vs coffee & salad in the warmer months.
I was initially taken rather aback at the absence of back pockets, but the two expandable bellows pockets, one on each upper legs, should be sufficient for my wallet, diary, loyalty cards, small mammals, rosary beads, and anything else. And their position is a lot more secure than rear pockets anyway (which I don’t generally use for valuables anyway whenever I’m travelling on buses or trains in That London, in case of pickpockets).
Overall – high quality materials, cut and stitching that I’ve come to expect from Hebtroco.
Yes, certainly these strides are pricier than their high street equivalent, but we have become accustomed to artificially cheap clothing, and that comes at a price – not only the exploitation of developing world factory workers, working long hours in shitty conditions and paid a pittance. But also, a similar pair of trousers from a high street shop would be badly cut, with shoddy stitching and poor quality cloth.
This is the third item of clothing I’ve bought from you, and I intend to buy more, as and when I can afford to. I’d rather have a few carefully-chosen top-of-the-range threads in my wardrobe than a wardrobe full of tat.
Long live Hebtroco and all who sail in her!

Smart cargo pants, that have received positive comments from others
Quality is really good and nicely designed and finished
Plenty of good pockets, for storage out and about and even lots in my pork pie, for a trip to the pub
I would still like some belt loops as an option to attach knife etc, when out camping

Cheers Mike. I hook my DBAD Keystrap onto the waist adjusters, then drop my keys in the sausage pocket. But thanks for feedback – it all goes into the mix for new product. /brant
