I gave Whitcomb the contact for Mikutex, but most mills like that dont sell to individuals, and not even small tailors.

Though I imagine Huntsman should have something in store for me. Theyre very different from chino cottons. It wont damage the material if you do it sparingly only when you have to, brushing and pressing in between, or spot cleaning if you have to. Should I do light dry cleaning or machine wash?

The pattern for tailored trousers works from the middle of the trousers rather that the outer edge (the line of the crease). What color is this marketed as? Bespoke vs. Off-the-Rack Finding chinos that fit well off-the-rack is difficult. Who makes the belt?

I have a few MTM chinos where I matched these variables poorly and the final product are stranded in no mans land. The price is comparable to Andersen & Sheppard Haberdashery so I am thinking why not go bespoke. I am also enjoying the adaptive process of wearing them in and see a long future together. In addition, the look of a bespoke chino has a much more put together, tailored look, allowing the reader to indulge in tailored design but fit in with the crowd in the office, so to say.

Just finding any RTW chino options in Ventile seems impossible, let alone one that fits well. Have you tried Orslow chinos? I used to think I knew the answer: the fabrics they used were too fine dress cottons, made with fine fibres, finished for a sleek look and good drape. Im going to guess that part of what you feel is seeing chinos in a tailoring environment.

Very interesting article, as always. They feel much smarter than jeans, are far more comfortable, and one can be care-free and just throw them in the wash. Ive alway struggled though to find ones that fit, and particularly be high rise (which I find much more comfortable). Trousers are cut as if the wearer is standing naturally, with feet closer to shoulder width. Yes, I talk in the piece here about the best materials for chinos? Some people think larger jackets are more flattering on them, others think tight ones are. I love cotton trousers and have had many made by my tailor in stylo jeans as they say in Naples. Confirmed, yes, theres only the offshore option so cut, basted and finished in London, but with the make in the middle done overseas. An inch on the rise wouldnt have worked for me.

I still wear quality stuff, just more workwear, which is much tougher and gets better the more you wash and wear it. I think they can send swatches, yes. This is the only pair of trousers Ive seen that deserves to be called bespoke chinos. Its only a small change in the angle of the leg, so it doesnt make a big difference.

I think this article also has also convinced me that bespoke chinos arent worth it for me as long as I can find ready-to-wear chinos that fit me decently, but it has convinced me that dress cotton gabardine trousers are different enough from chinos that they are worth getting MTM. Would it be possible to share the contact? If I were spending a lot of time in those kinds of conditions, I think Id go for a calf length waterproof coat and big boots, so little or no trouser were exposed.

That you can do something about.

Tailors generally dislike the way jeans are cut because it creates a lot of fullness around the inside of the leg and the crotch. That tends to look best into my eye, but of course some people want a more unusual look too.

If not, what would fit the bill? I was trying to find an article on whether to have a turn up on my chinos or not.

If the chinos are made as if the legs are unnaturally far apart then when you are in a normal posture(shoulder apart) wouldnt you have excess cloth on the outside leg and it sitting flush on the inside leg? As mentioned theyre just trying the replacement fabric. Its not often that a single pair of trousers can take you from the office, to an evening out, and finally to breakfast the next morning and in all three settings, youre not only properly dressed, but also well-dressed. Btw, is there a way to have a chino sit steadily at my natural waist just with a side tab? I would find this colour very useful with several pairs of trousers. Simon, for casual chinos, what are your thoughts on rolling the hem? Perhaps because they used to all be high waisted. Ah OK.

So robust jeans or chinos, heavyweight tees, loopwheel sweatshirts, horsehide jackets, boots and so on.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE post if you / W&S manage to find a right hand twill cloth that works that is what would push me over the line and get a pair.

Your chinos from Black horse lane and W&S are basically made from the same cloth? Yes. Once your account is created, you'll be logged-in to this account. No, I havent, looks promising though. I tend to enjoy sitting in the sun.

Professional detailing. So, bespoke seems like the only route or is Ventile not suitable as a smart casual chino fabric? The leading British website for tailoring, luxury and men's style. Tailored trousers that Id wear far less often feel far more expensive to me, than chinos which Id wear maybe several times a week.

Yes it does happen sometimes. The make would be similar, but the cloth would be different, and I dont either of us have looked into sourcing these cottons enough yet to know what that material would be. They have the slight forward curve, and fullness, to the leg, that the original US military pinks had.

Hi Simon, I guess I havent paid attention to how the outer side seam looks on my trousers, but theoretically you can have a nice, straight crease and a straight seam, no?

I've had a few made to measure suits and the one's I have received from Edit are by far the best! However, I have come to realise that those trousers will just never be as comfortable as my old Rota Sport chinos in which I could lie on the sofa reading a book and feeling like wearing tracksuit trousers.

Would really appreciate your opinion and hear whether you think its worth chasing that dream of having bespoke cotton trousers that are as comfortable as my Rota Sport ones. I am considering whether to go with BHL or W&S, and my gut feeling is that it is less risky to go with BHL for a one-off pair as it is based on existing trousers you can try on. If a jacket is added to the outfit, the chinos instantly become suitable for work, a wedding, sporting events, or a party.

I dont think its a matter of the cut points raised here. But I also know there are men that have trousers made bespoke already, and get frustrated at trying to find chinos. To be honest, today I would add even a touch more! Thanks for doing the leg work for us, Simon! Thanks again for your help, really excited about moving forward with this now. My only request here Simon is that there are multiple follow ups with how these age. Do you think this is due to the factors you point out in your review such as different patterns (jeans vs. dress trousers) and others or would you say that level of comfort could generally be achieved with a bespoke trouser maker using a different fabric with some level of stretch to it. Another way to think about it is that jeans are cut as if the wearer is riding a horse, with their legs unnaturally far part. Interesting article.

Joel and sons stock cloth from more well known mills so they may be a better option. And I like this look. Get your custom-made garments within 3-6 weeks. Yes, Im sure Whitcomb could make them in corduroy. Both are used in different ways too, and I think adding in khakis wouldnt make things any clearer. I would usually put a crease in tailored cotton trousers, but not in anything more casual. This project I did is my favourite for that kind of bag.

I know this has been a topic discussed previously but I would really appreciate your opinion: Over the years I have had many bespoke cotton trousers made in different types of cloth for the purpose of achieving a more elegant look as you could see on the Pommella IG account.

Do you have any idea of anything ? Im thinking pitch-side Dad who wants to be able to deal with all (winter) weather (wind, rain, cold, snow) without cracking out the plastic trousers when its chucking it down or blowing a gale a common occurrence in the micro-climates of the pitch-sides I frequent but also wants to appear well put together without looking like hes trying too hard and out of place. Add a merino sweater for colder days and it perfectly covers 90% of days in non-suit offices. And on fit, yes bespoke should always be able to do that with chinos as with dress trousers, Got it, I got a problem of not reading in details lol. They do, and Ive used many of them over the years. Did Blackhorse lane and W&S source the same fabric? Is there any fabric you recommend from some specific mills that combines comfort and durability to a perfect level?

Well, of course being bespoke you can have those pockets however you want unlike anything ready made. Three categories. I have chinos in a similar color and Ive worn them with navy, light grey, and brown sports jackets, and with sweaters of a variety of shades.

I recently bought a pair of flat front rota twill trousers and need to have them hemmed, I am unsure to do a turn up. Did you see that? What are the socks you are wearing under the chinos?

I had a fantastic experience. The final element was design. They do look nice. The chinos will also, like most bespoke, be too expensive for the vast majority. As someone who is required by necessity to wear less formal and more hard wearing trousers daily, I, too, have tried chinos from the tailors with similar results to those you describe. Its very nice as well.

Im getting som chinos hemmed.

These bespoke chinos had to be washable, therefore.

Credit to W&S for finally working it out where everyone else failed!

Its browner than fatigues I think as well as being darker, Id like to go this route and order a custom pair of Bespoke Chinos but Im having a hard time sourcing a chino fabric in a certain shade of brown that Im very fond of.

Being shorter I think I would ideally go for a slightly narrower leg opening in an everyday chino.

Theyve been freshly pressed, so they dont look that rugged now, but theyre just as strong as hard wearing as any other chinos, most obviously the Blackhorse Lane ones previously covered in the same cloth. Hey on a smart pair of chinos like that its the same as any tailored trousers really, as covered here.

Because I see just as good fit on many other customers. With our mens tailor made chinos, you can have the perfect pair of trousers fitted directly for you.
