Hey @Max@TheArmoury. I just received the Model A chinos and am noting the care tag says to handwash and avoid tumble drying. Have you found it's a bad idea to do these things with these pants?
That's a great question! The tag's recommendations are straight from the Ring Jacket factory, based on the other trousers they produce. However, we have made our own cloth and design changes, specifically to the side seam stitching and waist-band to make sure that these are safe to wash and wear.
Check out this video where Mark goes in depth on these chinos, as well as this great new video where he highlights the details of different trouser silhouettes.
Enjoy the new pants!

Thanks, Max. I like simplicity.

It's actually those videos that led me to this purchase, as I'm sure the keepers of The Armoury's conversion funnel data will like to hear.

I hear you! Apologies for any confusion then with the tag, those are often on the more cautious side.

As the keeper of the conversion data, I thank you!

I am wearing the Sport Chinos as we speak, errr ahh type;

I have washed them and dried on low twice since purchase, no issues whatsoever.

They are great, here's hoping for more colors in a fall restock!

Hi @Max@TheArmoury , would you be able to provide measurements on the white washed selvedge jeans? I guess in 32 would be helpful, specifically waist, rise inseam and hem.

Their video about jacket length comparing a suit jacket vs sports coat was really informative.

Funny thing is I remember how I use to think the Armoury’s trouser were too slim (when I was 8.25 leg opening now like 7.5 to 7.75)

Sport chino uses machine stitching for the seams. Model A has more hand work and a different waistband construction (I could be wrong about this). For the sport chino you can throw it in the washing machine to clean it. Basically that's the difference.
