They are not the same fit.

Sport chino is medium rise
Model A has “medium/high” rise. as noted above.

The waistband on model A is a traditional dress trouser waistband, sport chino is a one piece waistband.

The sport chino is much more casual pant in the detailing. Heavier cotton than the Model A cotton trousers. The Model A works with a suit or a sport coat. The sport chinos work as casual pants or with a sport coat. Largely, it's about the degree of formality.

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.

Sorry for the delay on this!

@Max@TheArmoury what’s the difference between the model A cotton trousers and the sport chino?

Thanks @markphilly and @hpreston You guys were spot on. The differences are largely in construction and cloth. The sport chino is more of a cross between an "Army" style chino and a standard cotton trouser. We took some of the details, including the one piece waistband and raised stitching, but refined them a bit so they could still be paired with a casual sport coat. The cloth is also a bit more rugged and meant to be able to be washed at home.

max, when do you think you’ll be getting more of the sport chino in stock? Color options are pretty limited right now in my size

Hello @Max@TheArmoury, two questions on the new turquoise silk vacation shirt - 1) what is the general care for these, and 2) will The Armoury be getting any restocks in size 40? Thanks!

I would say dry clean only, it's a thin silk. Jim found the silk for these shirts at a vintage fabrics shop and bought all they had, so it's unlikely that we'll receive any restocks. We can always make the vacation shirts through our made-to-order program, and help find a similar fabric!

I bought the gun club jacket from this season and it's really, really great. I also almost bought the POW jacket but opted for the former because it slotted better into my lineup. The blue check aligned a bit better with my propensity for blue. But, the POW is really beautiful. I got to try it on in person pre lockdown when the samples were in.

You can't go wrong with any of these, IMO.

 

[clee1982]

I really want the last, but it's sold out in my size (EU44), not sure if they have the top one in my size in HK (definitely not in NY), the middle one they do have my size in HK which they can ship, just not sure about the "yellow" in it

Yeah, I'm a little unsuire about the yellow in that jacket. One of those things I would buy but then discover I never wear it.

 

[hpreston]

The top one with the light blue overcheck is a winner.
