Provenance
Garment History
The chino was first created for American armed forces in the late 1800s, when they required a durable cotton twill trouser. Its current iteration, the modern flat-front, was developed for American forces during World War Two. The chino gained popularity at war's end when surplus military stock flooded the American market and it was adopted as a cheap ‘uniform’ by university students, particularly at East Coast Ivy League colleges.
Performance
Cotton
Cotton offers superior comfort, durability and versatility. Cotton is hyporallergenic meaning it is gentle on skin and is non-irritative while its moisture-wicking properties allows your skin to 'breathe' and keep its cool.
The fibres in our McQueen Chinos are long staple diamond fibres which are extra soft, extra-long and spun into 'core-spun' yarns. The result is an absolute workhorse of a chino: highly durable, hard-wearing, and resistant to fading.
