#193 Black Linen Chambray Chinos

Chambray is such a wonderful showcase for infusing fabric with personality. This style starts with color. It has the classic color on white composition that instantly lends chambrays a vintage appeal and lots of vibrant contrast. Jet black yarn is contrasted with white to create a charcoal finish. An absolutely intense grain and slubiness create a visual texture across the entire fabric. The feel is as tremendous as the look. The near equal parts of linen and cotton result in a truly luxurious feel. The cotton helps provide instant softness, while the linen adds that telltale flowy sensation. This is a dream chino and a massive value.

By now, you know we’re obsessed with construction and our Chino is no exception. We approach this garment considering it to be a tailored pant. The waistband is fully curtained using a beautiful, slubby, indigo chambray fabric and a red center stitch. This produces a totally clean finished upper. We also clean finish the fly and seat seams with indigo chambray binding. The fly is secured with custom shaped and engraved Corozo buttons. Belt loops are hand folded, tucked on the bottom and top waistband for added strength. They are also made in a slightly narrower width as compared to our denim to give the pant a more refined look. Traditional slash pockets are on the front, bar tacked on top and bottom. The back pockets are intricately constructed welt pockets also secured with our custom Corozo buttons. Both inseam and outseam use a busted seam for less bulk. This is construction done the right way throughout.

We started from the ground up on fit to create both our slim and straight styles. As with our denim, we like a classic look but with an updated fit. Our slim sits lower on the waist and is well tailored through the thigh down to the cuff. It’s not extreme, but definitely a modern, tailored fit. Our straight is designed to sit a bit higher on the waist and is more relaxed in the thigh to the cuff. If you like our slim denim, go with the slim khaki. If you like our straight denim, go with our straight khaki.

Choose either our Straight fit or Slim fit. More details available on our fit guide.
