THE HEAVYWEIGHT CHINO

Your next chino is not a chino.
Amsterdam based architect Kars Kooistra has been testing the design features of the heavyweight Chino.

innovative DESIGN

A tonal lining, a hidden closure and sophisticated seams illustrate perfect craftsmanship and epitomises the timeless design of the heavyweight chino.

remarkable COMFORT

The hidden cord fastening combines the comfort of a track-pant with the elegance of formal attire.

flexible WAIST SIZE

Invisible elastic inserts on the waistband guarantee extra flexibility. Unlike conventional trousers, the waist size of the Heavyweight Chino stretches up to six centimetres.

revolutionary FABRIC

Custom-developed over the course of 18 months: The custom-developed diagonal twill weave of The Heavyweight Chino ensures extra warmth without making you sweat. The fabric is 50% heavier compared to the fabric of The Smart Chino. Thanks to its loose looming weave, the fabric locks in air, allowing it to retain heat more efficiently while maintaining great levels of breathability.

three LENGTH OPTIONS

Available in shorter, regular and longer length. Hidden seams mean that if you’d like to shorten the smart Chino then you can do it yourself in a matter of seconds (with no need to visit a tailor).

smart FEATURE

The invisible mobile phone pocket on the inside of the main pocket has been specifically designed to reduce bulkiness when carrying a phone.
