I guess I just like the occasional extravagant garment. Those always strike me as middling chinos with aesthetically out-of-place pockets stuck on the side.
The cargo is about history and military/tactical design, for me. Sometimes I'll look at a really well made far out piece and I can see the functions that come out of the form, I can see foreign armies moving under canopy or pilots rising to the flight deck from an angular metal tomb. I see a story, and I like a garment that can tell a story, regardless of what papa Ricky says on the matter.
You have to couch garments like this within the context of fits that give them the license they need to exist and flaunt their detail. If the rest of your fit is an interlocking piece with a singular mind, you can take these risks with less fear. When you pull it off, your rewards will justify your initial failures.

He has a point.

I'm generally- or I have been, most of my life, anyway, though that might be changing- partial to cleaner lines, but isn't there something a little hedged and cautious about those? Why do they have the extra pockets? Sure, they might be SuitSupply, but on a certain level they *do* read as Dockers + Pockets.

I *do* really like the idea of discreet cargos, but those aren't it: heavy stitching and fabric, without the sort of other construction to back it up. Giant flaps.

The Prps stuff poet really likes doesn't do terribly much for me, because I find myself mentally tweaking them to be less heritage-y and more utilitarian. I get and appreciate what they are on their own, but they're not my cargo of tea.

My idea of a perfect cargo? The kind of panel construction you see on women's bike pants (why is it like that on women's, and not mens?), with a gusset and everything. The standard four (slant, welt) pockets all look entirely open, but they're sealed with small zippers. Both have deep "coin" pockets, actually meant for cards, a SAK, etc. Lower down, the cargo pockets are nearly flush, mostly internal, like on the pants you posted, except they're subtly but unhiddenly sealed with thin, matching-color zippers.

Low rise carrot fit, just a smidge of extra fabric in the crotch, with the calves being *just* loose enough to fit a small hidden pocket on the inside, on both sides, just big enough for a small, thin wireless hotspot or such.

Separate, subtle, reenforced knee panels. Tab waist, with semi-vestigial "belt loops" to hook equipment on, not sure if one on each end of the hipbones or just two off at the sides.

Done in either a nylon-wool-elastene or hemp-wool-elastene blend; not sure which.

I just copped some a pair of surprisingly nice '80s catalog craze core travel cargos at a thrift shop. Brand is actually called "Travelsmith," and the logo is an little plane sketch that looks like a monoplane AN-2. I'll post pics later.

most designers create blocks, which are basic patterns to which elements are added or subtracted to create new designs. that's very economical and it helps ensure consistency of fit, but sometimes it results in just what you described, where it feels like the detailing is an afterthought. because it totally was. and it's kind of obnoxious when you go through a line and realize that all the jackets are the same pattern with different lapels.

id like to note, this means the designer/patternmaker is using their blocks badly/not to their potential.

generally blocks are basically just a set of someones body measurements in the form of a piece of paper...like you said, you just use it to preserve a few measurements and it will essentially allow you to be as creative as you want in terms of constructing new garments from it.

Even so, you can tell times where that's the case and it works and times where it doesn't. But you know that.

I just wish when it doesn't they'd quietly let it off at a sample sale instead of rolling it out.

>>6532911
Like the concept very much, but the proportions don't seem right in the front. The top pockets fall in a wrong spot.

The back is great, though.

Also could use a little bit of tapering right at the knee.

imo the best/most iconic stuff comes from gettin crazy with fabric on the draping mannequin, but the r&d is too high even for rickky or sissy p to bankroll on that. which is why rick sells mountains of tanks and pods and why some of the best designs get reissued perennially. but you can look at say, the line of rick's leathers and see where he's made totally new blocks to fit the design, and sometimes when he takes the back half of a block and recuts the front half etc. that's good use of blocks imo.

idk the more i see really skilled pattern makers work, the more i realize that its not like they are only draping or only doing flat patterns, they have a really well established workflow that blends draping with flat patterns depending on the shape theyre trying to create. im not really that experienced at creating garments like that, but i feel like its something you develop with time spent figuring out what works for certain things and what doesnt.

but yeah almost all of ricks leathers are based off one original block, except probably the bauhaus and the other more free/drapy ones for sure. i think the way blocks are used on his jackets are pretty clever.

it's really apparent in the women's jackets because it seems that the various bikers, the perennial denim exploder, and some of the seasonal stuff all uses the same back panel but drapes freely for the front panel. and sometimes he recuts the panels in the back for peplumcore drapery but they still use the same shaping seams. i was trying on women's bikers at barneys once and they basically had the same jacket, recut with tails in the back, in a few different leather fabrications but it filled out their racks like woah and cross merchandised with everything like a beast.

which i think is a brilliant way to go, because you can cut a stack of blocks, put them on dress forms, and just cut parts of them and drape onto them, its a super fast way to get a lot of different ideas into garments. im kind of curious how the patterns are altered when he uses like a shearling or something really bulky.

idk. some of the hardcore rick fans i know complain about inconsistency in sizing from season to season and material to material which suggests that they're insufficiently prototyped.

otoh i noticed that the zipper and seams on my gimp were skewed... but the zip matches the inverse of the back spine seam and each gimp is identically skewed regardless of fabric or color which suggests that they were all drafted to be skewed. which is hilarious if it's the case, 10/10 design humor on an already hilarious garment

You know, I can't rightly tell you off the bat, But I will say that I've seen catalogs of strange military uniforms, books with pieces of armies throughout the world... and I've seen a lot of stuff like this. There are so many specialized jobs being done in so many different navies and armies all over the world that many times really bizarre configurations pop up. Unexpected things.

It doesn't matter so much what some of these configurations are really for - that odd pocket could be for a specialized socket wrench used in the repair of a late model soviet tank. It could be for an extra few shells or a field dressing kit that's worn by medics.
The garment might not even be military at all - it could be an old-school fisherman's pant with a spot for old lures and their uniquely sized cases. These are the sorts of garments you might have found at abercrombie in the 1920's-50's, too.

So I guess we can't always be sure, but if it's a well made garment (and these usually are) then it's open season on recontextualization, and they offer us a lot of opportunities to have fun with fashion (which is kind of the point, imo)

So many great posts around me, I want to reply to them all! Excellent reads all around, everyone.

Just for this one pair of pants. But the original purpose of this zipper on flight pants was so you could be waiting in uniform on the base and then just slip your flight pants over your pants and boots and zip them up when you got scrambled. It was a readiness thing, a time saver.
They kind of gave us a detail that we expect on those tight small hem pants because its cultural footprint is pre-existing, but because it's the "chuck flight pant" it's safe to assume that the detail implies the utility that we associate with flight pants - the zipper up the side of a pilot suit (which also has cultural weight, we've seen it on pilots for years).

I don't really have my thoughts entirely together yet, but the thread's close to dying, so here goes:

For me, a lot of these specialized configurations don't hold up outside their original context, or don't seem right for recontextualization into general use.

Or maybe I should say absent their context? I recently copped (still waiting on getting them) a pair of WWII British officer's desert shorts with a really interesting construction (a huge, asymmetrical waistband, for one) that had been put off the line and issued with a hodgepodge of non-matching buttons, due to production rushing. It's got this almost Margiela x Acronym-if-it-was-1940 vibe. (I'll post pics whenever I get it, which should be sometime this week.)

Something like >>6532129 comes, for me, really close to working brilliantly, but just doesn't come together, or seem ripe: I'm left wondering why the pocket configuration isn't more symmetrical, figuring I'd rather have it be more fully loaded out or cleaner. The truly inexplicable ones, like >>6532800, just leave the designer in me thoroughly wat'ing: why one leg with a large zip pouch pocket and the other with a small one, with an actual pouch just sewed onto it? What the hell are there different material panels on the *inside* of the knees for? How would I possibly *use* these and not be wishing they were different?

But then, >>6533295 just seems to come together aesthetically so well. I'm not quite sure why. Maybe because I can imagine myself hanging off a rock wall with them? That's definitely part of it. But their imbalance seems balanced somehow that's marvelous.

I think maybe I just don't get Prps and their language yet, because my only real exposure to them is through your posts. Their website just seems innavigable, illegible. If you can point me towards something I'd appreciate it.

>>6533308

I like the zipper ankle detail on these, but that's the only interesting thing about them for me. The shoes remind me of these, which I found recently. Czech army trainers. I think you'll like them, as remixed Converse with a chunkier sole.

Thanks for a great post. I guess the notion of yesteryear's techwear excites me - please post those desert shorts when you get a chance.
Prps is a funny brand. Their website is shit, they haven't updated it in a while (last i checked) and while they keep rolling inspired new pieces to market every season (those shorts you liked are SS13) I get the impression that they've been starting to dumb down their designs and I know they've shipped some production to china (from Japan). I have some of their newer stuff, and the quality is great, the construction is full of details, but after copping some of their older, Japan made cargos I discovered a totally new 'feeling' at work in the garment. So much more detail, so sturdy feeling, such subtle distressing. So part of me wonders if they're running out of cash, and part of me thinks that they just decided to stop marketing themselves and focus on appeasing their fans.

A lot of Donwan Harrel's personal mythology is tied up in veterans returning from WW2 and coming home to create the foundation of underground car culture. That's where the workwear roots come in, the oil stains and pin holes and the mission to finally do distressed denim right by leaving parts of the jean raw so that the natural fades blend into the pre-existing ones.
By delving into heritage and workwear, Harrell's come across a lot of strange designs. He lifts stuff from utilitarian garments that the average person doesn't see. I think the brand has a language all its own, or at least one that stands out enough to warrant further inspection. Every season seems to be a take on a different profession, with nautical and diving themes for this SS13. I also see older themes being revisited - SS12 was all about vintage fly fishing apparel and the shorts you noticed would have fit right in.
Have you ever heard about what Abercrombie & Fitch was like back in the day? How they had a huge store with a floor for each different type of terrain? Thousands of jackets and pants for specialized situations, manufactured using the methods of a bygone age. They sold the techwear of that era. That is the very specific sort of niche that Prps is exploring, and I think the foundation for some of their visual language.
