The Chino Slack: A Military Legacy

Born out of necessity and forged in adversity, chinos were first the faithful companion of British and American soldiers in the 19th century. Their name, a nod to the Spanish word "chino" meaning "Chinese", already evokes their destiny as a globetrotter. Imagine these men, far from home, finding in these sturdy pants a bit of comfort and practicality in the face of the rigors of the tropical climate.

Chino Slack Hydron - Military heritage and modern elegance

From the Trench to the Factory: The French Metamorphosis

After braving the battlefields, our chino followed the soldiers on their return to civilian life. But its story doesn't end there. In post-war France, as the country was rebuilding, chino found a new vocation in factories and workshops. French workers, seduced by its robustness and comfort, quickly adopted it as a work uniform.

In the 1950s, the factories of Renault, Citroën, and the shipyards of Saint-Nazaire saw the emergence of these earth-colored pants. Chinos became the symbol of the French worker, combining practicality with a certain relaxed elegance. It was in these workshops that chinos forged their reputation as a durable garment, capable of withstanding the rigors of daily work while retaining their allure.

Recto Verso: The Working Class Heritage in Detail

Our Slack Chino honors this working-class heritage. The inner waistband in 100% cotton Italian chevron fabric recalls the aprons of French artisans. The main label, sewn in a zigzag pattern, evokes the reinforced seams of workwear. The black assembly thread from COATS® and the reinforced button placket are nods to the durability requirements of workers of yesteryear.

Alongside its success in the French working world, chinos have experienced a renaissance on the prestigious campuses of the American Ivy League. This duality between the world of work and the academic environment has shaped its unique character, combining robustness and sophistication.
