Chinos - Custom-tailored for you
Custom-tailored chinos are made to your measurements, creating a clean and consistent fit. Our chinos are designed for regular wear, combining structure with ease across both casual and business casual settings.
Fit and construction of custom chinos
Each pair of custom chinos is cut individually to follow the natural line of the body. The fit allows movement without excess fabric, with attention to proportion, rise, and leg shape. This supports a consistent fit over time and makes made-to-measure chinos a reliable option for regular use.
Chino fabrics
Chinos are pants made from durable cotton twill, known for its smooth surface and structured drape. This fabric gives chinos a refined appearance while remaining suitable for everyday wear.
Modern chinos often include a small amount of stretch fibre, such as elastane. This improves flexibility while maintaining the clean look associated with classic cotton twill pants.
Different fabric weights are used in chinos to support different conditions and preferences:
- Lightweight cotton twill for a softer feel and warmer conditions
- Medium-weight twill for balanced, year-round wear
- Heavyweight twill for a more defined shape and added durability
How to wear chinos
Chinos sit between casual denim and more formal dress pants. Their simple construction allows custom chinos to be worn with business casual shirts, knitwear, or tailored jackets. Neutral colours support consistent combinations, making chinos suitable for both casual use and business casual dress codes.
Custom chinos are well suited for business casual settings. Their structured shape and clean finish allow them to be worn with business casual shirts, knitwear, or tailored jackets. This makes them a practical alternative to more formal dress pants.
What defines chinos
Chinos are defined by their fabric and construction, combining durability with a clean silhouette.
Typical features include:
- Cotton twill fabric with a smooth surface
- Clean front construction
- Two to four pockets, depending on design
- A silhouette that sits between casual pants and formal dress pants
Custom-tailored chinos follow the same principles, with the added benefit of being made-to-measure for improved fit and long-term wear.
How should custom chinos fit?
Custom chinos should sit naturally at the waist and follow a clean line through the hip and leg. The fit should allow movement without excess fabric. A slight break at the shoe creates a balanced silhouette and supports a consistent fit expected from made-to-measure chinos.
What is the difference between custom chinos and ready-made chinos?
Custom chinos are made-to-measure using individual body measurements, while ready-made chinos are produced in standard sizes. This allows for a more consistent fit, along with control over fabric, rise, and leg shape.
