"Based on a pair I wore to death in the 80s. Everybody's back wearing pleated chinos again."
Let's talk the Community Clothing Pleated Chino.
Inspired by a pair of original 1980s pleated chinos. Pure cotton from Brisbane Moss. Double reverse pleats and a generous fit built for versatility.
"They are based on a pair of original 1980s pleated chinos that I bought at the time and wore to death until people stopped wearing pleated chinos, which they did for a long, long time. But everybody's back wearing pleated chinos again."
The fit
"It's a nice wide fit. So if you've got big backside and big thighs like I've got, it looks great. It's very flattering."
One of the wider fitting chinos in the range. A double pleat with a slightly tapered leg. If you're looking for something slim or regular fitting, this isn't the chino for you.
The fabric
"I think it's one of those fabrics, the more you wear it the better it gets."
310g pure cotton from Brisbane Moss. Easy to press, takes a good crease, washes easily and ages beautifully.
How to wear them
Wear it plain at the bottom, or with a fixed or casual turn-up. Pairs with everything from a crisp cotton shirt to one of the James Cotton Blazers in the same fabric — turning it into a suit. Works with loafers, Oxfords, Derbies, boots, DMs, Vans, Birkenstocks or espadrilles.
