Gentlemen & Ladies of GD.
I have information to share so let's do this now before one of us backs out.
Pants, slacks and chinos. Are they all the same thing I hear no one say. Well, no it seems, they could be or are or.
The predecessor of the chino was developed by Sir Harry Lumsden in 1848 while stationed in India to camouflage his white uniform. He mixed a combination of coffee, curry and mulberries for dye, and this new shade, dubbed khaki (the Hindi word for “dust”), blended into the arid setting. Although now used interchangeably with “chino,” (my edit - wowsers!!) khaki refers to the dye color Lumsden created.
The first reference to chinos came in 1898, when American armed forces were stationed in the Philippines during the Spanish-American War and their uniforms were sourced from Chinese twill cotton. This colloquial term was born from the Spanish name for “China.”
After World War II, returning GIs began wearing the plain-front trousers, and chinos were a common sight on college campuses, where they began to define the East Coast, Ivy League aesthetic. Hollywood soon followed, leading a generation to define chinos as a symbol of effortlessly cool American style.
The boxy fits and casual Friday culture of the 1980s and ’90s sidelined chinos; however, they’ve made a comeback, with slimmer fits and fresh garment-dye colors.
What was once standard issue for the military is now the style of choice for the board meeting or the wedding party.
HERe is a picture of slacks trousers (it is below this word):
I can see that Google is doing some 'we know which part of the world you are in' with its .co.nz links above (noice geolocation, it's actually pretty rad that it can do that and I saw the Google car last October and I was stoked because I'd just done up the fence, nice Ebony stain right, not too satin finish but also not gloss, just comfy in its own finish, and the place was looking sick, our car was off the drive which made the driveWAY look really nice, i will post a picture afterwards) and I quite like that but these slacks are now chinos and I don't know how that happened.
What is or are the fresh pants updates from the UK and so on?
Yours,
