Hello folks. Everlane is great for quality, materials, best you could hope for ethical/sustainability, etc, but they don't sell cargo pants. Anyone know a good option? I'm hoping for no synthetic materials but if they're really bifl I could go for it.
The obvious answer is Duluth but I hear they fit quite unfashionably, because they are work clothes and all. I'm hoping for everyday clothing.
Thanks for suggestions!
Very impressed to see a "used" section on a name brand store!
If you have a Duluth store nearby you could try stuff on. My gf and two of our best lady friends all have Duluth pants or overalls for regular wear/ fashion!
They're not in my area, but I would give it a shot if I'm ever around one of them
Gramicci. They aren’t necessarily specializing in cargo but they are cotton and the pockets are spacious.
I don't want to be a negative nancy here but Everlane is not the leader in ethical/sustainable clothing companies that it's marketing would leave you to believe. Anything that is near that amount of fast fashion and or ships overseas cannot be sustainable.

edit for paraphrasing article: “Everlane puts a great deal of focus on ‘radical transparency’ and has made it a key selling point,” said Luke Smitham, a sustainability expert at Kumi Consulting in London. “But fundamentally, what they do is not any different from most mass-market fashion brands who do exactly the same, or more.”
“They do some good work, but I wouldn’t describe it as radical. The most radical thing about Everlane is the marketing.”
By all means be negative! I love the nitty gritty on this stuff. I was generalizing as it pertains to Everlane since I figured most people wouldn't be interested in the weeds of the matter. Sucks to hear they're perhaps worse than the other folks in the 'ethical fashion' space. But everyone under that banner is phony. There's a big degree of fluff to all these companies and I usually willfully ignore it since cheap shit made in China won't last any longer anyway. Anything made from "ocean plastic" is a scam too but... I mean if plastic is my only option sure, I'll use recycled plastic.
I really only have two tanks from Everlane and nothing else, but at a minimum I appreciate that they're cotton and seemingly high quality. Kinda hoping they won't just fall apart for the freakin cost.
5.11 is what u want
Oh! This is great, thank you!
Spring for the more expensive waist band, its worth it
Tbh they have very few options not covered in Teflon, and I have no need for PFAS in my butt crack. Great for EMTs I'm sure, but not my scene. I'll just be getting the single pant made of cotton
Lol..u be u
Just remember, cotton is the single most pesticide heavy crop in the textile industry
Everything has its downsides; it uses tons of water as well. But it doesn't live in a landfill for eternity. If they had synthetics without the PFAS I'd probably go for that but I don't see any.
Sure...just poisons all life here and now.
Just saying. Lesser of two evils isnt always straight forward
Exactly, they both poison everything. PFAS have been found in every living tissue they ever looked for it. I'll go for the devil I know.
Sure, poisons vs poison u do u
Dovetail might work for you
Where have these been all my life
They run a really good black Friday sale. Thats when i buy them
They have a pair that look just like my old favorite pants, now deceased. I don't think I can wait lol
