cargo pocket

Pants leg storage

A cargo pocket is a large patch pocket with a flap, typically found on the thigh of pants or shorts.

Originally designed for military and workwear to carry tools and supplies, cargo pockets became a casual fashion element: cargo pants, cargo shorts.

The style suggests practicality over polish.
