Men's beige chinos, finished like tailored trousers
At the start of the 20th century, gabardine trousers dressed officer and worker alike: they had to allow movement under the jacket and hold up at work. Our men's beige chinos, the Slack model, marry these two legacies. From tailoring, they keep the waistband, lined inside with 100% cotton Italian herringbone that stops it losing shape, and signed with our woven Heritage Workwear label, sewn with a zigzag stitch. From workwear, they keep the strength.

How to wear beige chinos
With rolled cuffs, over a chambray shirt, as in our photos. With a sky-blue oxford shirt and a jacket for a dressier day. It also comes in navy and olive.
Care
Machine washable at home: 30 °C (86 °F) inside out, short cycle, mild detergent with no bleaching agent, and separately the first few times, because dyed cotton bleeds slightly. No tumble dryer and no fabric softener, which clogs the fibre. Air dry in the shade; iron at medium heat, on the reverse to protect the colour.
A lined fly, a YKK zip
The front crotch is lined; the back crotch and the fly are finished with a bias binding. A double button placket holds the fly at the waist. Underneath, an ecru cotton lining and a size-5 metal zip from YKK in Japan. All the buttons are corozo, a vegetable ivory, sewn twice with Coats thread.
Patina and durability
In three years, this beige chino will have kept its line.
The Slack marries two legacies: the tailored trouser and the work trouser. Its waistband is lined with an Italian herringbone that stops it losing shape, and its 250 g/m² gabardine is woven and dyed in France. In beige, it lights up every outfit. Here is how it ages.
-
firm material, solid color, clean finishes.
-
the piece softens where it works the most.
-
wear creases mark themselves and return from one wear to the next.
-
follow the composition instructions; excessive heat and tumble dryers are to be avoided.
-
borders and friction zones soften first.
-
the color shades with use, without aging all at once.
-
the piece is made: supple, familiar, always holding.
-
a seam, a button, a snag is mended in the workshop.
-
nearly three years: a well-kept piece gains in character what it loses in newness.
The beige chino is the most worn trouser in the world, and the most often disappointing: it loses shape at the waist and creases at the knees. This one is built not to. It is the beige you keep, not the one you replace every spring.
A gabardine woven and dyed in France
The cloth is a 250 g/m² cotton gabardine, woven and dyed in France. Its weave is a very tight twill, a fine, dense diagonal: that gives it both abrasion resistance and suppleness, where a classic gabardine is airier. Piece-dyed, it keeps a stable hand through washing. The trousers are then assembled in Morocco, to our specifications.
Double-welt back pockets
At the back, two deep double-welt pockets close with a corozo button. Each is stopped with a D-shaped stitch: a dress-trouser finish that also reinforces the edges and bottom of the pocket. No anonymous chino here, but all the details of a true period chino.
We are here to help you

Our clothes are made from exceptional materials (Japanese selvedge denim, French wool from Tournier…) and assembled on vintage machines.
Every piece is designed to last, evolve and develop a patina over time. The fabrics are developed to our own specifications: we design our own weaves, then have them woven by the best mills in the world (Japan, France, Italy, Portugal, Morocco), often on old looms. A new cloth can take up to a year to come to life.
This exacting standard is what sets Champ de Manoeuvres apart.
