Charles Tyrwhitt - ties and chinos

[ManofKent]

I've had a couple of pairs of CT chinos, both were quite loose cut, one pair truly baggy. Best chinos I've found have been the Uniqlo's double pleats, much slimmer fitting.

I like the chinos -- they are a good value when on sale. I would not call them baggy -- I think they fit quite well and are on the slim side compared to some others (PRL, BR). I suppose it's all relative...

I'm still not sold on where to buy my ties and my chinos (or my sports jackets, for that matter, as there don't seem to be great shopping places for those online).

Thanks a bunch.

I have about 8 or 9 CT Ties and I personally really like them. I think they have some nice colors and patterns, and I really think they are constructed rather nicely. Plus I really always get a nice knot out of them.

I love CT ties and chinos. Great colours (ties), and the material is good and solid - the tie won't blow in the wind very much. I like their chinos because of their comfort, deep pockets, and the colours - I had never seen purple chinos before buying a pair.

Occasionally there are people selling CT chinos BNWT - I scored two pairs for £9 each - not bad!

Their cords are also good value when bought on sale.

I really like Polo Ralph Lauren chinos, they fit well and they are generally slim. Brooks Brothers are quite good too, but they never seem to have my size. As for cheaper brands, I had a pair of navy Gap chinos which were of surprisingly good quality and the fit was great. I heard United Colours of Benneton has some nice chinos as well, but I can't confirm this.

Thanks, I might order a pair of their chinos just to see, but I'm pretty much sold on the ties.
