Cotton dress chinos are cut with the same cut as the dress trousers. Chinos are not. They have a more casual cut.

Just out of curiosity, does anyone know why the cotton and cotton/linen trousers, if cut the same as the other (wool) dress trousers, appear to have a narrower waist in the photos? I'm sure it's just down to how they are folded, but might it have something to do with them not being creased? I always wondered about this...

Edit: OK, upon closer inspection I can immediately see how the rear pocket on the cotton/cotton-linen trousers is the only part showing, vs the fact that part of the front of trouser appears in the other photo. I'm still curious why they are folded this way if they are all "dress" trousers and cut the same.

The way they are folded. There's a flair out at the hips. You'll see it when folded at the center. When folded at the press line, it gets flattened out. Look just behind the pocket on the right pair and you can see the flatten hip flair.

I would assume the reason they folded them differently is because the chinos aren't creased.

This. My flannel trousers with belt loops fit the same as the cotton/linen Sondrio.

I'm not sure that I completely follow, but I appreciate the explanation. It sounds like the cotton and cotton-linen "dress trousers" come un-creased. I'm assuming this may be due to the fact that some customers may want to wear them "casually" (i.e. without a crease), so pre-creasing them may make it dificult to iron it out. That is my theory.

Was there ever a response to this? I have malwarebytes and I can't access the page.

I'm using the same software and don't have any issues on the new platform. That being said I would still stick with payment through Paypal if you are worried.
