Men's navy blue chinos: tailoring outside, workshop inside
At the start of the 20th century, this type of trouser dressed officer and worker alike: it had to move under the jacket and hold up at work. Navy is the smartest version of our Slack model. These men's navy chinos start from a simple idea: take the construction of a tailored trouser and cut it from a work cloth. The waistband shows it as soon as you open it, with its ecru lining printed with our name, its Heritage Workwear label and its corozo button.
- Material: 100% cotton, gabardine, tight twill weave
- Origin: cloth from France, made in Morocco
- Detail: French gabardine
- Detail: tapered silhouette
- Detail: D-shaped bar-tack pockets
Cut and sizing
Modern cut, fitted toward the bottom. From 28 to 38, the half thigh runs from 30.5 to 34.5 cm and the half opening from 16.75 to 18.5 cm; in size 32, the chino measures 43 cm half waist and 17.5 cm half opening. It runs large: choose one size below your usual size. The size guide helps you decide.
How to wear navy chinos
With a white oxford shirt and leather shoes for the office. With a short-sleeve henley in summer. Under a corduroy overshirt in mid-season. It also comes in beige and olive.
Care
At home, no dry cleaning: 30 °C (86 °F) inside out, short cycle, mild detergent with no bleaching agent, separately the first few times. No tumble dryer and no fabric softener. Air dry in the shade; a pass of the iron on the reverse, at medium heat, to keep the colour.
A waistband lined with Italian herringbone
The inner waistband is 100% cotton Italian herringbone: it keeps its shape through wear instead of rolling over. The main label is sewn with a zigzag stitch. The front crotch is lined, and the back crotch finished with a bias binding.
Patina and durability
In three years, this navy chino will still have the hold of a tailored trouser.
At the start of the 20th century, this trouser dressed officer and worker alike. The Slack in navy is its dressiest version: the construction of a tailored trouser, cut from a 250 g/m² gabardine woven and dyed in France. Here is how it wears over time.
-
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.
Open the waistband: ecru lining printed with our name, Heritage Workwear label. It is the detail only you will see, and it makes all the difference. Navy is the chino that goes from the office to dinner without stopping at home.
Zip fly, double button placket
A double button placket holds the fly at the waist. The size-5 metal zip comes from YKK in Japan. The bias that borders the fly keeps it clean inside, wash after wash.
Buttons sewn twice
All the buttons are corozo, a vegetable ivory, sewn twice with Coats thread. At the back, two deep double-welt pockets close with the same buttons; a D-shaped bar tack reinforces their edges and bottom.
The cloth is a 250 g/m² cotton gabardine, woven and dyed in France in a very tight twill, denser than a classic gabardine. Piece-dyed, it keeps a stable hand after washing. The trousers are assembled in Morocco, to our specifications.

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.
