Foreign Service Officer Cargo Shorts

The Foreign Service Officer Cargo Shorts are an authentic ripstop cargo short patterned after the kit issued to U.S. State Department Foreign Service Officers serving in hot-climate posts. Built from tough ripstop fabric with a full six-pocket layout, adjustable hook-and-loop waist tabs, and reinforced stitching, they hold up to real work without looking overtly tactical. The subdued khaki finish keeps a low profile while the construction stays combat-tough underneath. A solid pick for travelers, range shooters, contractors, and anyone who needs a hard-wearing warm-weather short with serious cargo capacity.

Description

Features

  1. Ripstop Construction — Woven ripstop fabric resists tears, snags, and abrasion across long days in the field or on the road.
  2. Six-Pocket Cargo Layout — Two front slash pockets, two rear pockets, and two bellowed thigh cargo pockets give you organized storage for gear, documents, and EDC.
  3. Adjustable Waist Tabs — Side hook-and-loop waist tabs dial in a secure fit and keep the shorts from shifting under load.
  4. Reinforced Stitching — Double-stitched seams at high-stress points stand up to hard use, repeated laundering, and heavy pocket loads.
  5. Button-Flap Cargo Pockets — Secured flap closures keep magazines, multitools, notebooks, and phones locked down on the move.
  6. Belt Loop Waistband — Wide belt loops accept standard 1.5" duty and dress belts for use with holsters, mag carriers, or everyday wear.
  7. Low-Profile Khaki Styling — Subdued khaki coloring blends into civilian environments while retaining a tactical-grade build underneath.
  8. State Department Pattern — Cut to the spec carried by U.S. Foreign Service Officers operating overseas in hot-climate postings.
  9. Multi-Role Versatility — Works equally well for range days, travel, overlanding, yard work, and casual warm-weather wear.

    I love the 1st pair I bought (button fly, XL=42 inch waist, not ripstop, great color) so I purchased a 2nd pair. Next pair (XL ,small teeth zipper, different color, rip stop nylon, very tight on my 42 inch waist). I wish I would have received the same pair I ordered not what they had in stock. The substitute is no bueno. Caveat Emptor .

    The shorts arrived on schedule and I was very pleased with their construction. The only complaint I can generate is that the front slash pockets are too high up and make it difficult for my catchers mitt hands to go in. I have to wiggle the shorts down a bit to access the pocket, the lower edge of the pocket could be extended by an inch and these would get a perfect rating. Lots of room in all the necessary areas and wide belt loops. They wear below my ugly knees so longer socks help. Good buy!

    These shorts are terrific. They're better than I'd hoped for. I'm 6'3", 230-235 lbs. I've been losing a little weight and I'm at an awkward size (between the 40's and the 42's.) These shorts are snug at the waist, with room in the hips and thighs. I hope I'll need to be able to tighten them up a bit as I continue to shed a couple more of those tenacious pounds. I'm thinking about getting another few pairs! Overall, I am very pleased with these shorts.

    Really impressed!

    Overall Rating

    I had high hopes that these would be a just little better than run of the mill budget BDU style pants. They are more than a little better they are a lot better. The construction and design easily rival some of the top brands for this type of clothing. Sizing is spot on for me as I usually wear 38~40 depending on the brand and have an actual 40" measurement. These are not tight on me and require belt. Highly recommended.

    Very good buy

    Overall Rating

    This is my second order for two pair of these well made, high quality comfortable shorts. These are great shorts for the beach or any warm weather outing. I have no problem fitting in the XL size with a 36-38" waist and still have room to "grow" that happens as we get older. ;)

    Well made heavy ripstop material. Rear and cargo pockets button closure with flap. Adjustable left and right side waist. Seven 1-3/4" wide belt loops.

    None unless you are skinny as a rail.
