Straight Leg Chino
$198.00
These pants are exactly as Tellason says - just like the ones from the surplus stores. I truly compare them to chinos that my grandfather wore in the 50s and 60s. These are simply the best available!
Tony and Pete’s curated goods are made so you won’t have to go out and buy more anytime soon. They are built to last and are not a gimmicky style that goes out of fashion. These khakis fit well and are built to last. Perfect.
As a child of the '70s (and college guy of the '80s) and a privileged retiree for today, I bring a bit of life experience and a weird obsession with finding a great pair of chinos. These rank way up there. The button-fly design is a salute to G.I.-issue khakis, the ones we'd find in Army surplus stores 40 yrs ago. Tellason (i.e., those two seemingly chill S.F. Giants' fans from Marin Co.) got it right. I really love the full room on top and the smart subtle taper past the knee. The Japanese twill fabric is special with its high-twist slight sheen (what in-the-know chino fanatics covet if I can say so myself). Its medium weight and heft are just right. Sizing is accurate. I'm 6'1" 185lbs; I got the 34"W but a 33"W would also do. Bonus: my pair came with a handwritten thank-you note from one of the guys. In conclusion, these pants give me a hop in my step, whether I'm getting on an elevator or heading to my favorite watering hole. Thank you, Tellason! You're making chinos great again.
This is a great pair of chinos. Exactly was I was looking for and expecting. This is not the boring and plain fabric that you'll find at the mall. The fabric exudes quality and is robust at the same time, feeling super soft on your skin. Tony/Pete deliver best customer service. They changed the size I order (I order too small) for one bigger after leaving a comment about how other of their pants fit me, and they nailed it. Even though this is online shopping, the make your experience great and personal, which makes me feel very happy to support this company.
The fabric is amazing and worth the cost. The proportions are great. Like the button fly.
If you are a fan of Tellason, you might recognize the influence of old-school Army-Navy stores and the Tellason focus on crafting rugged, comfortable elegance similar to certain military clothing from back-in-the-day. For me and my friends in high-school in the late Seventies, those Army-Navy stores & similar thrift shops were gold-mines, located in previously gritty Pasadena & still sometimes gritty Burbank. These chinos carry that history, with an updated profile. They are perfect.
These are super comfortable and feel like they will prove more than durable over time. I prefer jeans so I am not wearing these as much but so far I am very happy.
High quality fabric and attention to detail in construction. But the fit is very baggy for a slim fit. I tried them on before getting them hemmed and I thought they would be OK, but after wearing them for a full day I felt very uncomfortable in them because they were so baggy. Too late to do anything about it now.
Good cotton pants are comfortable to wear and pleasant, quality and look premium
