have you guys seen these? super heavyweight cotton twill. half selvage on the outer seam. cut like a jean.

i'm deciding on whether to get these or not since theoretically, i could probably wear these to work since they are not jeans.

i could get a bunch of chinos for the same price at uniqlo, though.

any opinions?

[Mr Calvin Oscar]

I wouldn't pay that much for it... and it's kinda baggy

[mizanation]

supposed to shrink after wash...

[Westbrook]

Is that weird "Chino" thing a paper tag or is that sewn on?

[mizanation]

the tag on the backpocket comes off.

ddml, they sell those at BiG!

i'm trying to justify getting them. why would you get these over a uniqlo chino (which is pretty good).

[denimdestroyedmylife]

the esoteric allure of BSU?

the satanic undertones?

the decadent overtones?

[damnIam]

I dig 'em, sincerely.

[mizanation]

i wore them at BiG and they were definitely not baggy. they fit pretty nice actually....

i wonder how they distress... would they get whiskers? honeycombs?

hmmmm. thinking about getting them.

they sold a pair to a guy who absolutely loved them... plus, they would look nice with my new shell cordovan boots.... aargh... must fight the urge to buy.....

[minya]

Those aren't really chinos, are they? Just weirdly-dyed denim.

[ang_kangkong]

I thought they were pretty damn cool. It's hard(tough)-looking. I love it.

But I'm new here, so my tastes ain't that developed yet on these things.

[mizanation]

minya, they are definitely chinos. however, they are cut like a jean. it's a twill weave, but not denim.

[greentea]

get them before your coworker does.

[minya]

minya, they are definitely chinos. however, they are cut like a jean. it's a twill weave, but not denim.

Oh... interesting. Selvage twill! Haha.

[ruprecht]

don't even have an opinion on the troosers. but, looking at that url, i want to live life through translated japanese - my newspaper, my favourite books, my traffic signs. everything.

[familyman]

I usually don't like it when people do a pair of khakis in a jean cut but I like these. I'm pretty sure I couldn't have gotten away with them at a no jeans job though. They still look like jeans and are cut like jeans, the only thing off is the color. Some bosses are agianst blue jeans and some are agianst all jeans.

I dig them.

[john11f]

i like. i emailed blue in greene about my interest but ended up not buying them. why do you have rekindle my interest?

[mizanation]

well, i'm still on the fence. i might not be able to wear them in the office because they do look like jeans. i hate biz-cas! i've seen people at work wear white jeans and it was ok, though.

[Hard2Fit]

Pulled the trigger on these from BIG.

Will let you know how the turn out. . .

[superBobo]

those look great and you should buy them and post alot of pics. I want em aswell.

How about being a little more subversive and buying a pair of trousers made of denim, but that aren't cut like jeans or constructed like jeans?

Rogan has a lovely pair, albeit pricey and rare, pair. Waistband, yoke, pockets are all clean. No topstitching. And even the back pockets are put on like you'd sew a patch pocket on a tailored jacket ie. sewn from the inside. No topstitching.

That should give them something to think about at work

[mizanation]

hey ring^2

i think corporate financial types are scared of the actual denim fabric more than anything. they don't want to be in close proximity to anything that resembles hard manual work or the working class.

[ringring]

I see. Show them the receipt for the Rogans. It will be as far away from working class as you can get

Maybe they won't know it's denim. You can quietly crock all around them

Bamboozle them further by mixing in some Nandos/PureBlue Blue-Blues occaisionally

ignoring the chinos for a minute

there's vintage flight jackets on there

US style

is it not wierd that the japanese are reproducing the jackets that nuked the shit out of them?

[john11f]

wanted to get these & asked parachutes to buy it for me. he had to return me the money because the store ran out of my size.

that was lol funny. well, maybe its not. . .

[scoon0224]

They have been for years... It's the same with jeans. They were essentially introduced to Japan by GI's stationed there.

Chinos... american workboots... chambray shirts... and I'm guessing even fat leather wallets... all went over with the troops, and were co-opted by the people they were uhh, watching over?

Which may also have to do with the exaggerated antifit of some of the stuff.

Warehouse for example, is a caricature in it's pseudo-american-ness. (which is why I couldn't get into most of the stuff... though the fabrics of even the t-shirts had a great feel).

Even Duckdiggers, which to my knowledge resemble no jeans ever made (the stitching as well as the unique back pockets and bucklebacks on some) yet look like they should be in wardrobe for an american labourer in a movie set in the 30's.

[Guest]

ah yea that makes sense

i mean i assumed there was some logic behind it

(as well as the nascar jackets as being high fashion)

this actually all makes sense now

thank you ahah

i beleive this calls for rep

[tripping with style]

Figured I'd dig this up instead of making a new thread..

So does anyone have any experience with these? All I've got so far is that they fit similar to the Oni Blue except with a higher rise.

Been comparing the Oni Blue chart with the PBJ xx-005 (have them in 31) chart to figure out what size of blues would fit, but without knowing how they shrink and strech it's kinda hard.

So anyways, anyone own or have tried on some of these?

[iequalratings]

id like to see some fit pics aswell

[Leonard Leroy]

tried them on today in size 28. I could button and zip no problem but they're tighter than I'd like. If they stretch, an inch or so, I would love em. Does anyone know if they stretch?

The girl at BiG said they would stretch, but just need a second opinion... I don't know if chinos are known to stretch.
