Product Description
The Rick Owens Bauhaus Cargo Trousers Black is the most essential and most recurring silhouette in Rick Owens' pants offerings, a cargo trouser that the Paris-based American designer has produced across multiple seasonal collections under the Bauhaus name and that represents the specific way Rick Owens applies his design philosophy to a utilitarian garment format. The Bauhaus name in Owens' vocabulary references the German design school's foundational principle that form follows function, a concept that Owens applies to clothing by creating garments that carry their structural and functional details as design statements rather than concealing them, making the cargo pockets, the exposed zippers, the elasticized cuffs, the drawstring waistband, and the rivet hardware simultaneously practical and aesthetic. The trousers are constructed from organic GOTS-certified cotton, typically in a poplin or twill construction with a small percentage of elastane for comfort and movement, and across seasonal iterations the Bauhaus Cargo has appeared in versions ranging from cotton poplin to stretch canvas to leather, with the black cotton constructions being the most accessible and most frequently reissued. Key construction details consistent across Bauhaus Cargo versions include the exposed center zipper at the fly, rounded Bauhaus zippered thigh cargo pockets with eyelet detailing, front shin splits with zippers, elasticized cuffs, side front welt pockets with rivet detail, square back pockets with flap and snap closures, and double topstitching on the front yokes and seams. The slim fit silhouette and full-length cut combined with the elasticized drawstring waistband create the specific relaxed-but-structured profile that defines Rick Owens' approach to trousers. Made in Italy or Moldova depending on the seasonal production run. Retail price $900.
The Rick Owens Bauhaus Cargo Trousers Black is the foundational utility trouser for the Rick Owens collector who wants the designer's most consistent and most conceptually specific cargo silhouette in the all-black cotton construction that makes it the most wearable and most versatile garment in his pants vocabulary.
The Rick Owens Bauhaus Cargo Trousers Black are available at a retail price of $900.
