The development of our chinos is a wonderful story of time and demands. It took us several months to finalize these pants, for several reasons: we wanted to do things well, and for a launch as important as this essential piece of the wardrobe, we had no room for error.
Then, because we couldn't agree. Some were in favor of putting in a lot of sartorial details, others wanted to get to the essentials because they found some finishes not very useful.
We did tests, prototypes with different fabrics... we finally decided to do a mix of the two, simple, effective finishes and always of high quality for long durability!
Start at the beginning, with a fine and sturdy canvas. We found our canvas in Italy, very solid with a thickness that ensures it lasts over time without weighing you down: 280g/m2, the ideal weight! We chose to go with canvas for a smooth and elegant finish. After trying different materials, we favored a cotton canvas with 2% elastane, enough to make the chinos really comfortable.
Our goal was to create a fitted chino that is easy to wear, easy to move in and durable.
As for the cut, we had two goals: to create a fitted chino that was easy to wear, in which you could move, but also an elegant piece, relatively close to the body, suitable for almost all body types and which elongates the silhouette. So we opted for a cut that was relatively fitted at the thighs, with a nice ease and slightly tightened at the ankles, to make it more current.
To avoid confusing you too much, we have gone with standard sizes. So you can choose your usual size, you won't have any bad surprises, from 38 to 48. In terms of length, we have thought of the tallest and shortest among you, by choosing a single length of 84cm at the crotch. So you have some leeway and you can make a suitable hem! Neither too long nor too short. And if you have any hesitations, you can take a look at our measurement table below:
In terms of details, of course, there are pockets, four to be precise: two Italian ones at the front and two piped ones at the back, practical for putting your things in. And we thought of everything, with a solid lining – also Italian – so you don't lose your small items in your legs (it happened to us too...). For the rest, we opted for solid and well-executed finishes: cross-stitched buttons, and seams of 6 stitches per centimeter, like on our shirts.
We've introduced you to the technical aspects, now it's time for the colors.
Our chinos are available in four colours: beige, perfect for an elegant and bright look, camel, darker and easy to match, khaki, for a casual chic style and navy blue, the great classic that never fails.
