Molecule Originals – extra-roomy cargo shorts
Molecule Originals 45020 is one of the brand’s classic shorts designs and among the roomiest styles in Molecule’s baggy range. The shorts have a long, knee-length cut, generous room from the hips through the legs and eight practical pockets.
The model is made from 100% heavyweight cotton and features a distinctive cargo design with substantial stitching and large thigh pockets. Originals is suited to everyday wear, festivals, outdoor use and other activities where freedom of movement and ample storage are important.
Baggy fit with plenty of room
Originals has a very loose and roomy fit with no taper through the legs. The long rise and generous leg width create its characteristic baggy silhouette. The legs finish approximately at the knees, although the exact length depends on your height and chosen size.
This style runs extra large. Check the size guide and compare the garment measurements with a pair of shorts that has your preferred fit. Do not choose solely according to the size you normally wear.
Eight practical pockets
The shorts have eight pockets in total, including roomy cargo pockets on the thighs. The combination of different pockets provides plenty of space for a phone, keys, wallet and other smaller belongings.
Heavyweight stonewashed cotton
Originals is made from 100% heavyweight cotton. The stonewash treatment gives the fabric a lightly worn appearance and a more comfortable feel. The cotton may soften and develop further character as the shorts are worn and washed.
Adjustable leg openings
Press studs at the leg openings allow the width to be adjusted slightly. This lets you retain the wide silhouette or gather the shorts a little closer around the knees.
Part of the Molecule 45 series
Originals is the shorts version in the same series as the full-length Comfy Combats and the longer Drawn Togethers knickers:
