Maharishi pays homage to the original miltary cargo pant, faithfully reproducing the features seen across various versions.

The cargo straps that are found on the back of the leg were originally are designed to be tied around the leg to secure cargo within the side pockets and inhibit unwanted movement of the contents.

The straps may also be concealed, hidden within the pocket by passing them through a small button hole, cut off or left loose as pictured, flying in the wind.
