Good chino recommendation?

I don't really see why you'd want to go to Chino, California on vacation brah.
 
I like the Lived-In chinos from the Gap... I Have a few pair (different fits).
Soft as hell and easily the most comfortable chinos i have.
I buy Banana Republic chinos as well :nerd:

Don't see how you want someone to guide you to a brand if you never said the type of fit you want, And if u want a pair that last after wash you need to just get the naked & famous ones
 
Are you looking for slim fit or do you have "bigger thighs" like the rest of NT?
 
Are chinos the new "it" word for khakis? Only see them referred to as chinos on NT
 
Personally I wear lived in gap chinos and polo chinos. Thinking about upgrading to j crew or 7 for all mankind. Gap about 60. J crew 108. 7 is 150
 
Parson has some good chinos, but I think they fade after a couple of washes, so in not sure where else to go.
 
Khaki was originally the name of a color, but now chino (the name of a fabric) and Khaki are synonymous with a cotton casual pant. In 1846 Sir Harry Lumsden commanding an English troop in Punjab, India traded in his bright white Khakis for pajama bottoms to find relief from the heat. To disguise them he colored them to blend with the local terrain using mazari, a native plant. Thus the birth of Khaki, the Hindu (Urdu) word for “dust”. As a by-product, Lumsden discovered that the new Khaki pants were more suitable in battle than the white pants, and red tunic. Blending in was good. Khaki is a color, but is now synonymous with a military twill pant. Khaki uniforms were introduced for British colonial troops in India in 1848 Khaki went from India to the Kaffir War in South Africa in 1851, and then after the Sudan Wars and Afghan Campaign of 1878 it was adopted in 1884 as the official uniform. The same year Khaki-color dye was patented, and was adopted by other armies, including America for the Spanish- American War in 1898. Chinos were military issue pants, which were made in China. The British Khakis found their way into China where they were duplicated and sold to American soldiers in the Philippines for uniforms during World War I. Chinos don’t have to be twill, but are often a firm weave of cotton. Chinos can be Khaki color. The military style had no pleats and was tapered at the leg bottom to conserve fabric. This pants style remained popular for the military through the Second World War. When soldiers returned to civilian life they continued to wear their military chinos especially to college. Brooks bros started carrying chinos in 1942.

Hit me wit all types of knowledge. I always say I need some black khakis, or some tan khakis. So I've been naming a color another color this whole time!?
 
Uniqlo is good for chinos. They're cheap, but very well made. And there's always a sale happening. Practically my entire wardrobe came out of that store.
