cargo pockets
Pants side storage
Cargo pockets are large, square pockets sewn onto the outside of pants or shorts, typically on the thigh.
They close with a flap and button or velcro.
Originally military, they became standard on casual pants designed for carrying more than regular pockets allow: cargo pants, cargo shorts.
The style peaked in the 1990s and early 2000s.
