Katoenen satijn cargo broek / Marineblauw

The knee pleats are the standout detail for me — they give the pants structure without feeling stiff, and the bucket-opening cargo pockets actually sit flat instead of bulging. Waist fits true to size, and the washed cotton has that broken-in feel right out of the bag.

The knee pleats actually make these move with you instead of bunching up—I wore them on a long walk and forgot I had them on. Pockets are deep enough for my phone and keys without bulging weirdly.

The navy wash looks even better in person, and the dual cargo pockets with the bucket opening actually sit flat instead of bulging. I've worn them on two long commutes and the relaxed fit through the knee pleats moves well without feeling baggy.
