Mens Vintage Brown Distressed Cargo Shorts Size 40
A solid pair of vintage cargo shorts from Lime in a rich brown tone with a naturally worn, slightly distressed finish that adds to their authentic, utilitarian feel. Cut in a relaxed fit with a longer length, these sit comfortably between classic cargo shorts and cropped trousers, giving them an easy, laid-back silhouette. Made from durable cotton with a lightweight canvas-style texture, they feature a mix of practical details including multiple cargo pockets, flap back pockets and a sturdy canvas waistband for added structure. The subtle distressing and tonal variation throughout the fabric give them that effortless worn-in look that’s hard to replicate. Finished with button fastening, belt loops and adjustable drawcord hems for a custom fit at the leg. A really versatile everyday piece — perfect styled with a simple tee and trainers for a casual summer look or layered into a more utilitarian streetwear outfit. Waist measures 40" (label 38R), inside leg 16", rise 12" (modern fit approx UK men’s Large/XL depending on preferred fit). In very good vintage condition with light, natural signs of wear adding to the overall character.

MEASURED & READY TO WEAR
Carefully measured, described and prepared — no surprises.
At My Vintage, we take time to carefully measure each item of vintage clothing so that you have the best chance of ensuring a good fit whenever you buy from us. We measure the clothing laid flat as the diagrams show below and for bust, chest, waist and hips we double the measurement. For example, if the waist measures 17" across when laid flat then this would equate to a 34" waist (17 x 2 = 34)
We use the measurements we collate to assign each item of vintage clothing with an approximate modern-day size. For example, a dress with a 34" bust, 28" waist and 34" hips would normally equate to a current UK size 10. The labels on vintage clothing can vary massively depending on country of origin and date of manufacture. Clothing sizes have changed over the years and from decade to decade we see alternative types of sizing as well as variations on the way measurements equate to dress sizes.
We always recommend that you double-check the measurements of the vintage clothing item you are interested in, ideally by measuring an item of clothing you already own and that fits well, and comparing these measurements. There can be variations due to the desired fit, shape and fabric of an item but our size guidelines are normally very accurate and take the stress out of buying vintage online.
