I've decided that I really need to start adding chinos to my collection, more so to have some variety. I have a pair of N&F military green chinos that I don't wear because they still need to be hemmed. I got them super cheap but I'm not even sure I like them anymore.
So which brands make good chinos? Should I look to 3sixteen and Rogue Territory or are there other decent brands worth investigating? I don't think I want to try N&F again so other suggestions are welcome.

I'm interested in this topic.
I've been wearing J Cr** 1040 Slim Straights. I almost popped for that G Herringbone Chino but the more fit pics I see of the G's the less I am inclined to try them because I don't like how tight they are. I prefer my Chinos with a little bit of room.
I used to wear BR but stopped buying that brand at least 5 or 6 years ago when they changed their whole styling profile.
I really need to just order a pair of CF's but I'd prefer twill to Duck.
I would also prefer to find a brand and stick with them to take the guesswork out of sizing. I'm sick of wasting money on clothes that dont fit quite right so I don't wear them.

Weapon Trouser Pants; www.ironheart.co.uk/bottoms/ih-707.htmlAwesome straight fit Chinos. FYI they are raw so you will get some shrink out of them after a soak. I got about an inch in the length and 1/2 inch in the waist. Best part is that you can get them on Rakuten. |

Not a fan of white anything unless it's under shirts |

Left Field, Epaulet, Save Khaki, Taylor Stitch, depending on how dressy or casual you need.

Seems to be a good model, love to see more companies doing lots of khaki's in twill. I think my max on Khakis is $120, I just have never spent more than $70 for a pair. I think the only thing I'll ever end up buying from Epaulet may be a pair of shoes. A little high for me on the pants and all their tops are too small. /rambling //painkillers from denistry |

My favorites aren't being made right now (bills). There was talk on here about the new Duck Heads, you can find them on eBay cheap. |

Yeah, I grabbed a pair of those, and I like them, but I don't think they're true Cramerton. They're not labeled as such. They aren't as heavy as true Cramerton I don't think. They're nice, though. They're gone from eBay. |

Probably worth mentioning that if you plan to do more than look pretty in them, cotton sucks (sacrilege around here) and something like Outlier would wear 4,218.3x better.

Unfortunately, Ciano doesn't carry it. Thanks man! Yeah, the whole twill direct to consumer thing needs to happen more. I'm interested in twill and they don't have to last for 100 years because I can replace them and yeah, I need them to look good since I plan on looking pretty in them. I could give a flying eff about patina and that worn in look when I'm in a business setting. Actually dont care for it all that much except on certain items in a not business setting. Point is, lighter twill is comfortable for me and wearing 20oz jeans in an office chair blows. |

They're MiUSA and STATE they are "Cramerton Twill," but there isn't the ubiquitous Cramerton label anywhere.

Cotton is stupid in that weather. But so are chinos, carry on. |
