Khakis/Chinos that Don't Look 'Old'

[Magic44]

For chino's which is more authentic?

Lightly emerised (Brushed) twill
or
untreated twill

Looking at getting a pair made but just weighing up the two finishes?

I think a tailor told me once that brushed is less likely to wrinkle?

Where can I buy 5ep in 29 or 30?

Thanks

Don't sound too bad from the description. I am going to investigate and find out for sure.

my margielas are the bomb yo, perfect blend of edgy casual elegance

check out banana dress chino, very nice and not as dressy as I imagined for 78 bux, I'm wearing the bootcuts right now, flare is too big (have to have it taken in) and fabric is cheaper but still decent. Rise is cool, not high.

Those look exactly (including the light chocolate brown color) like a pair of chinos I altered the legs of and wore to death my freshman year of college. Almost 10 years ago. I had completely forgotten until I saw the pictures.

Not really my look now, but I'm almost tempted to get a pair.

This is the only Jcrew item I own. They're hands down my favorite pair of chinos, but I've only owned Gap and BR before. Definitely more casual than most.

If I was into chinos, i'd probably give these Canes a try.

I have a pair of expres khakis that are more cut like denim than the producer stuff. They're a lot more casual than the dress ones, and fit and look a ton better. I don't know if they still have them. I got mine for $15 on clearance a couple months ago. Can't go wrong at that price. They're still wearing great, but the problem is, they're a bit short on me.
