And the problem with putting cargo in your cargo pants is that it swings when you walk. I have aome great Kuhl pants with similar pocket design, but it's awkward to walk with my phone there. I could perhaps get used to it, especially if they fit a bit tighter as his seem to.

The pocket opening is placed where the pants are still close fit around the thigh -- I've experienced no swinging or banging of the contents.

Great. They do look very impressive. Pants are hard. (They look easy but there's actually a lot of construction.)

I am only here to say: Put pockets on all women clothes!! Thank you.

And I'm here to say that phone companies should make smaller phones.

I would add one item to the list of requirements: as I walk around and engage in other movements, objects should not flop around uncomfortably or jiggle around and make noise more than necessary. That is a big advantage of locating pockets near the hips. First of all, as you walk your hips stay in a relatively fixed position, whereas your knees move back and forth a lot. So items nearer the knees are swung back and f…

I have the same complaint.

Perhaps a hidden, floating, spandex style layer that encapsulates the pocket and contents against the leg would solve that issue? This could be done while minimizing impact to the outer appearance.

I really appreciate the design and thought that went into these pants. Goes to show what is possible when you can craft your own clothes and break free of the constraints of mass produced clothes.

Would have been cool to see the pants in a wool plaid or suiting material to emphasize their dressiness. I think people are getting cargo pants vibe because of the dark green twill.

Actually, cargo pants are quite trendy right now as techwear.

Whether or not they stay in style, at least they'll always be functional.

I love this idea. I generally only carry a wallet and a phone, one in each front pocket.

Love the idea of having side pockets for them with the slanted/deep pocket approach.

I'm currently at work (thank Pomodoro for HN breaks, curse Murphy for causing everything to fall apart at the same time on a Friday). I'm a college-educated, homeowner, married, father of one, controls engineer. I spend my days at work between my office programming and designing industrial automation equipment, on the shop floor building it, and customer sites selling, upgrading, or maintaining it. I'm not a punk kid…

Could be. But the only demographic I named was "people who can wear cargo pants to work", so you kind of set me up for a "no true scotsman". There are events, and clients, to which I wouldn't wear cargo pants, therefore we're in different demographics :) It is a little disheartening to spend so much time talking about cargo pants, when I relegated them to a postscript and only mentioned them to say "I am not talking…

But that is totally your own fault for denigrating cargo pant wearers in the initial version of the post.

Absolutely in the works, but I'm not rich enough to make prototypes in superfine :)
