CHINO TROUSERS
Today, the most basic pieces often seem the hardest to find. The iconic chino, inherited from the military uniform, is no exception. Hast's mission is to offer you these great classics of the men's wardrobe in a premium version, at a fair price. Our European workshops therefore make our shirts, jackets,
trousers and much more, while meeting an ethical, transparent and exacting charter. The success we have enjoyed with our shirts, proving the value of our approach, meant it took little time to decide to expand our range, notably with chino trousers, an absolute must-have in every season.
HOW TO RECOGNISE GOOD CHINO TROUSERS
A good pair of men's chino trousers is first recognised by the quality of its fabric. Originally a utilitarian garment, it must combine exceptional durability with comfort. Start by testing the strength of the fabric, checking that the seams hold well, that there are reinforcing buttons at the waist, and whether or not elastane is present… Then consider the seasonality of your chino trousers. Often seen as a summer garment, chinos are in fact rather versatile and can be perfectly suited to mid-season, or even winter.
The final element is undoubtedly the one that first caught your eye: style. Here, it is more a matter of taste. Traditional chinos have a relatively regular fit, Italian pockets at the sides and welt pockets at the back.
THE HAST CHINO TROUSERS
Like all our
clothing, our chino trousers undergo meticulous quality control. From the seams and buttons to the fabric, everything is designed to ensure our pieces last as long as possible. In terms of weight, we opted for 260g/m², ideal for seeing you through every season in lightweight, comfortable trousers. Once again, we have chosen Italian craftsmanship with a 100% cotton fabric. In terms of style, Hast favours traditional elegance with a subtle modern twist. Our chino trousers retain all the hallmarks of the original model, with a slightly more fitted cut through the legs for a more contemporary look. Colour above all else: once the cut, fabric and construction were complete, it was time to choose the colour of our chino trousers. To make them easy to pair in every season and for every occasion, we chose to offer our men's chino trousers in several colours, such as
navy blue, the
beige, the
green or
ecru, as well as in a wide range of sizes, so everyone can find the right fit.
Finally, in terms of fabrics, beyond the traditional cotton chino, we offer our
corduroy chinos and in linen and cotton for summer.
