How We've Made Our Chinos Even Better
Comfortable, sturdy and stylish - the chino is a wardrobe staple without peer. Its strength lies in its versatility, able to look at ease with a simple knit and sneakers as well as with a tailored shirt and jacket. So it makes sense that our own chino is one of our most popular garments - and for Autumn Winter 2021, we wanted to see how we could build on them even further.
We started with their construction, and applied the same level of construction and handwork that we usually reserve for our tailored trousers. This means hand-stitched detailing around the pockets, hand-shanked horn buttons, and a tailored internal waistband for added comfort, creating an elevated level of luxury in every garment.
