How to measure

Use these steps to measure either your body (to choose the right size) or the pants laid flat (to compare with a size chart). Use a soft measuring tape and measure over light clothing or underwear for the most accurate fit.

Measuring your body (for sizing)

1. Waist: Wrap the tape around your natural waist (the narrowest part, usually above the belly button). Keep the tape snug but not tight. Record the measurement.
2. Hips: Measure around the fullest part of your hips and seat (usually about 7–9 inches / 18–23 cm below the waist). Stand with feet together.
3. Inseam: Measure from the top of your inner thigh (crotch) down to where you want the pant hem to hit (floor/ankle). This tells you the leg length you prefer.
4. Rise (optional): Measure from the crotch seam up to where you want the waistband to sit (high/mid/low rise) to check comfort and coverage.
5. Thigh: Measure around the fullest part of your thigh for comfort through the leg.

Measuring the pants (laid flat)

Lay pants flat on a table and smooth wrinkles without stretching fabric.

1. Waist (flat): Measure across the top of the waistband from one side to the other. Multiply by 2. For elastic waistbands, take two measurements: resting (unstretched) and fully stretched to see the available range.
2. Hips (flat): Measure across the fullest part of the seat (about 7–9 in / 18–23 cm below the waistband). Multiply by 2.
3. Front rise: Measure from the crotch seam up to the top of the front waistband.
4. Back rise: Measure from the crotch seam up to the top of the back waistband.
5. Inseam: Measure from the crotch seam down the inside leg seam to the hem.
6. Outseam (length): Measure from the top of the waistband down the outside seam to the hem.
7. Thigh: Measure 1 inch (2.5 cm) below the crotch seam across the thigh and multiply by 2.
8. Knee & hem: Measure across the garment at knee level and across the bottom hem; multiply each by 2.

Quick tips: Multiply flat measurements by 2 to get full circumference. If between sizes, choose based on hip and thigh measurements for comfort; the elastic waist provides extra flexibility.

Materials

Mono B Elastic Waist Corduroy Cargo Pants are constructed around corduroy — a soft, textured, ribbed (waled) fabric known for warmth and durability. Typical materials and construction details you can expect:

• Corduroy fabric: Usually made from cotton or a cotton blend; corduroy’s raised ribs (wales) give structure, softness, and a vintage-inspired texture.
• Waistband: Elasticized for comfort with an internal drawcord or external tie for adjustability.
• Pockets & hardware: Cargo patch pockets and side pockets are typical; hardware (buttons, rivets, zippers) may be metal or durable plastic.
• Linings & trims: Pocket bags and waistband facings may use polyester or cotton blends for strength and reduced bulk.

Note: Exact fiber percentages and trim materials can vary by color or season—always check the garment tag for precise composition and any special finishes (e.g., garment wash or stretch content).

Model information (reference)

For fit reference, product photos typically show a model wearing one size to illustrate the cut and drape. Example reference: model is shown wearing a size S and the look is a relaxed, slightly slouchy cargo fit with an elastic waist. For exact model height and size, check the product image captions or size details on the product page.

Fit note: These cargo pants are designed with a relaxed hip and thigh and an elastic waistband—expect comfortable ease through the leg. If you prefer a more fitted silhouette, consider sizing down; size up if you want extra room or plan to layer under the pants.

Care Guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Always follow the garment care label first. The label is the most accurate source for that specific piece.
• Pre-treat stains: Gently blot fresh stains and use a mild stain remover. Test on an inconspicuous area first to avoid altering the pile or color.
• Machine wash: Turn pants inside out, fasten any closures, and wash on a gentle cycle in cold water with like colors. Use a mild detergent and avoid bleach.
• Avoid fabric softener: Fabric softeners can flatten corduroy’s pile over time; skip them to preserve texture.
• Drying: Air-dry flat or hang to dry for longest life. If using a dryer, tumble low and remove promptly while still slightly damp to avoid over-drying the elastic waistband and to reduce wrinkles.
• Restore the nap: If the corduroy pile looks flattened after washing, gently steam and brush in the direction of the wales with a soft brush once dry.
• Ironing: Iron on the reverse side or use a pressing cloth on low heat to avoid crushing the ribs. Steam is often all you need.
• Storage: Hang by the waistband or fold gently without heavy compression to prevent crushing the pile. Keep away from prolonged direct sunlight to avoid fading.
• Repairs: Mend small snags or seams promptly; replace the drawcord if it wears out to extend use.

Style Tips

• Casual everyday: Tuck a fitted tee or ribbed tank into the elastic waist and pair with clean white sneakers for an easy, balanced look.
• Elevated-casual: Pair with a slim turtleneck or silk blouse and ankle boots; add a cropped blazer or structured coat to smarten the cargo silhouette.
• Layered streetwear: Try an oversized hoodie or sweatshirt with chunky sneakers or combat boots for an on-trend, relaxed vibe.
• Seasonal notes: Corduroy is great for fall and winter—layer knits, shearling, or wool coats. In spring, choose lightweight tees and a denim jacket to keep the look fresh.
• Proportion tips: Because cargo pants are relaxed, balance volume with a more fitted or cropped top. For a taller, streamlined look, wear heels or boots and avoid excessive stacking at the hem.
• Accessories: A sleek belt (if the style allows) or a statement crossbody bag elevates the outfit; layer delicate necklaces to contrast the textured fabric.
• Tailoring: If the length is too long, a small hem adjustment or cuff creates a neat finish and instantly modernizes the look.
