Straight Leg Chino
$215.00
These are the perfect summer pants! Tellason produces high quality garments, and the tapered chino is no exception. Cramerton army cloth is soft and wears well. At 6'2" & 170lbs, I wear a 31W Sheffield, and these 32W chinos feel like they were tailored just for me. I may have to pick up a straight leg, too...
As soon as I was allowed to make my own clothing choices, I opted to wear jeans all the time. Shorts in summer were for swimming. Any pants other than jeans were “dress pants” and qualified as some sort of punishment. My time living in Arizona made me incorporate shorts into my life, but grudgingly. I just like jeans. I live in a cooler climate now but summer still has to be dealt with. The Cramerton Chino struck me as interesting on a few different levels. The history of the fabric is one. The story of broke college students buying surplus pants and having them altered to be cool is another. I thought about giving them a try more than once but other things got in the way. Finally, the announcement of the Cramerton mill closing forced me to act. One horrible thing led to something good. The fit of these chinos just works. I’ve seen others describe them as slim fit but I’m not certain I’d go that far. Tailored is too formal. There just isn’t a lot of extra material being wasted where it doesn’t need to be. Anyone who has purchased from Tellason before knows that a smart, practical design isn’t new for these guys. The fabric is sturdy but light and looks like it will age quite gracefully. Most importantly, my wife says my butt looks good in them. She is getting older and her eyesight isn’t what it used to be so, who knows… Now I have something worth wearing as the mercury rises. I hope the fellas can find a nice fabric to replace the one we’re losing. I’d like to see this design around for a long time to come.
These chinos are built right. Great fabric and nice cut. They are not too skinny but a great alternative to the typical straight cuts out there. Keep making these Tellason, I'll be back for another pair.
very nice cloth, easy to wash and perfect to wear. the tapered cut is very comfortable and fits great
I love these pants and so does my girlfriend. The cloth and construction is so nice. The fit is awesome too. I literally could not find a pair of chinos in SF that weren't either skinny, tapered ass huggers or dad fit. These are perfectly cut, love them. I only wish I could get them in blue too. Love my JGMs too.
Perfect fit and great quality:) :)
In October of 1942, Douglas MacArthur was photographed walking ashore in the Philippines to make good on his promise to return. While I can't be certain, it looks like his entire uniform was made from Cramerton cloth. It is fact that I will never make an amphibious statement of international consequence or ride my pants up to my chest like the storied General, but I can guzzle coffee like the best of them while sitting comfortably in a pair of these Tellasons. I'm not one for full pant legs, so the tapered cut is just right for chinos. Along with the cut, the construction is a great for both work and off. They do ride a little lower, but it's a welcome change from the ever decreasing zipper length. I would say the waist is true to the measurement (not the tag); maybe a tiny bit larger. I will probably buy another pair in the future - especially if there is a discount to be found, somewhere (shameless, I know).
