If you've been reading the Secret Service (LA) store, we've been talking about the chinos that Crate is putting out and selling at SService, as well as Barneys etc. There's been some interest in these so here's a rundown of what I picked up tonite:
It's gonna be in 3 cuts
-Sally (skinniest)
-James (slim, but not bootcut like the jean, has slight taper)
-Hamilton (relaxed slim-ish)
The Hamilton is now available. The Sally and James won't be available for another couple weeks approx.
Picked up my Hamiltons today in size 32. Normally wear a 31 in the Hamilton selvage jean (30 in Paul Smith red ear, 29 in APC and Jean Shop, 31 in Nudie for reference)
The 31s fit, but just felt too tight for chinos so going up to 32 felt *just right*. The fabric is not your typical cotton diagonal twill...it's from deadstock material and has a much heavier feel than the everyday chino twill.
Measurements based on size 32
-waistband 16" across
-hips 20"
-thigh 11.75"
-knee 8.5
-hem 8.5
-front rise 9.5"
-inseam is 35 I think (this is their default inseam on jeans). I had mine hemmed to my oddball highwater length with a 2" cuff sewn down, but my recollection of it pre-hemming was that it seemed around 34-5"
The Hamilton measurements are in sync with a standard slim fitting pant of that size. I'd imagine the James will be the same on the top block but probably taper down to around 7.5-7.75 for the hem
I took some pics but my camera battery died so I'll upload them later tonite. Maybe some fit pics tomorrow
They retail for $140.
