Best Mens Chinos UK
When it comes to the best mens chinos UK, there are several important features to look out for before buying. In this blog we will break down the key areas along with some style ideas to help you make an informed decision. The four keys areas to consider are:
Materials
Design
Fit
Manufacturing
Quality Materials
In order to be the best you need to start with quality materials. The old saying “put good in, get good out” always rings true when it comes to clothing. This is especially true for men’s trousers and chinos which take a huge amount of wear and tear every time they are worn.
The first part is of course the base cloth which for chinos can be 100% cotton, a cotton and elastane blend, 100% polyester or some sort of polyester blend. If you are seeking the very best chinos then go with either 100% cotton or cotton with elastane. The elastane is usually only 3% but allows the trousers to stretch in just the right places which makes them far more comfortable to wear than the 100% cotton version. Further if you prefer a slim leg then the elastane is really important.
Our men’s chinos are 97% cotton with 3% elastane. We source our cloth from coveted British trouser and jacket mills Brisbane Moss. Our collection includes over ten colour options covering two weights; 215gsm and 250gsm. The lighter weight can be found in the brighter chinos including red, yellow and tobacco. Both weights should be viewed as medium trouser cloth weights. Not too light, but also not really heavy. A good choice to be worn all year round. If you do require a really light or heavy weight chino cloth please don’t hesitate to get in touch as we do have access to other weights. To make the best chinos you need the best fabric. There is a small surcharge for this service.
For our chinos there is no expense spared in sourcing the remaining materials that make up a good pair of men’s chinos. This includes using the finest shirting fabrics for the pocket linings along with a YKK zip for the front fly and finished with real buffalo horn buttons. These buttons really do last the test of time and are superior to plastic buttons which are more prevalent among low end chinos.
Last but not least we always use only the highest quality threads from Coats and Gutermann; both the leading industrial thread companies in the world.
A Thoughtful great design
With quality materials, the next part is a thoughtful chino design. No pair of chinos is the same. Some are more casual and are closer to cargo pants for example. Others are tailored and more closely resemble formal trousers. We would define our chinos as smart, casual. This means they are really versatile in that they can be dressed up or down and can be worn for almost any occasion from work wear, weekend or for a special occasion like a wedding. If you want value for money it is better to choose a design that can cover all the bases really well.
Traditional features incorporated into our design include front slanted pockets. Traditional double
welt pockets for the rear finished with buttoned pocket flaps. These flaps are more than just a design feature. They have an important purpose in that they stop the rear welt pockets from sagging which looks unsightly. If you prefer a cleaner look you can always tuck them inside the welt pocket, but make sure they are fastened when you wash and hang them.
The waistband includes traditional belt loops so you always have the option to add a belt which is a great accessory to break up any outfit. Never underestimate the value of a good contrasting belt to any men’s outfit.
Fit is everything, from Straight Fit to Slim Fit Chinos
For the best men’s chinos in the UK, fit is ultimately the most important feature and something many men struggle with. We are all different heights, shapes and sizes and too often the average menswear store lacks the options to cater for what we really want. For example, how hard is it to find a brown pair of chinos in a 35” waist, slim leg build and 33 inside leg? In our experience it is impossible, even if you visit a department store.
With this in mind we decided that a solution needed to be found and launched our create your own mens chinos back in 2018. Since then we have sold thousands of chinos all round the world to men, many who struggle to find that elusive size that properly fits them.
This is achieved by offering an unparalleled selection of waist and inside leg measurements including odd sizes along with three leg builds; slim, medium and classic.
If you need straight fit stretch chinos we can provide them. In total we offer 200 unique combinations per colour. The online equivalent to a made to measure service but without the hassle of visiting a tailor and at a very competitive price including free UK delivery.
Make sure you measure yourself
While we offer a first class service, it is really important that customers measure themselves or a pair of chino or trousers they currently own when they shop with u. Our chinos and trousers are cut to size. Do not assume the size label inside any of your current chinos or pants are correct! Many brands both here in the UK and America are now actively involved in vanity sizing where the waist can be as much as two inches bigger than the size label. To avoid disappointment, be safe and measure yourself before making your first purchase.
Made in England
You are probably wondering about how we can offer this amazing service online. How do they have 200 different combinations of each colour in stock? Must be a really big warehouse!
The answer is simple; we hand cut and make all our chinos at our factory in Suffolk England. Each pair is made to order. We don’t carry stock. This is not only true for our chinos, trousers and jeans, but also all our British made clothing that you will find on this website. Our clothing is proudly made in England.
The benefits of having your own factory cannot be understated. Not only does it offer flexibility and the option to offer such bespoke services like create your own chinos, but also ensures you have full control over quality from start to finish.
Our chinos follow a stringent production process which includes a number of additional steps that you will not find in many other chino brands. Further many of these steps are not obvious on the final chinos. However we can assure you they make a huge difference to the longevity of each pair. Our chinos are genuinely built to last!
Five Stylish Chino Outfits
To help you show just how stylish and versatile our chinos are we have put together five stylish outfits for you to consider.
1. French Navy Cotton Chinos
When it comes to selecting a navy pair of chinos, the colour shade is really important. Many navy pairs are too dark and in some light almost look black. Do not fall into this trap. Always go for a strong French Navy. Not only does this shade look the best, but it enables you to create really stylish and exciting outfits. For example the chinos can easily be styled with our bold pink Oxford shirt finished with London Liberty print along with brown suede loafers. Alternatively if you need a more casual weekend outfit, especially for summer then pair with our striped linen shirt and cream trainers.
2. Brown Chinos for men
Our chocolate brown chinos are a great option for work wear and a refreshing alternative to black. Pair with our striped shirt and beige trench coat.
3. Stone Chinos or Chino pants as they are known in the USA
For those seeking a smart summer outfit for work or holidays consider our stone chinos with a navy linen shirt and coupled with suede loafers.
4. Lovat Chino Trousers
Lovat green is a great weekend pair of chinos. We have paired them with grey trainers, a black denim shirt and our popular black trench coat.
5. Grey Chinos
Grey chinos are a great option for those looking for an alternative to tan colours or navy. Like tan and navy grey is very versatile and can easily be dressed up or down accordingly. We have paired the chinos with our blue polo shirt.
Other cotton trousers and tailored chino shorts
In addition to chinos we also offer the same create your own trousers service for our moleskin trousers, corduroy trousers and jeans. Like the chinos we also have access to different weights and colour options should you be looking for something in particular.
Our selection of chinos shorts are style and made using the same fabrics as our chinos and are perfect for those looking to create a sharp summer outfit.
Washing your chinos for men
We recommend a 30 degree wash and hang the chinos as soon as possible. Never put them in a tumble dryer otherwise you risk shrinkage. Iron on the inside of the fabric on medium heat. Always take care to check on the labels inside your garments for origin and washing instructions
