I'm looking for chinos that are made without stretch fabric and made with fabric that has substance and body. Its become surprisingly hard to find. I've liked Bills Khakis M3 for fabric and fit but cant always justify the price. I have a pair of brisbaine moss chinos from luxire but dont want to do custom clothes to get that fabric. Any guidance?

To note, I have large thighs from cycling and lifting, so I steer towards regular cut, not slim. Bills Khaki's M3 (too high price), Brooks brothers clark (seems to have stretch), etc.

I gotcha. they seem to have side entry too but I get the colors are limited. https://leftfieldnyc.com/collections/coal-miners/products/coal-miner-dark-khaki-n1-deck-cord-chino
Unfortunately this isnt the brand for me. Its more expensive than Bills Khakis and less my style. I'm a Connecticuter who went to boarding school when I was younger who is more comfortable in a suit, sportcoat, or ocbd. Think Jcrew, brooks brothers, or polo but higher quality materials but still less expensive than bills khakis

I currently see on Bills Khakis that you get 30% off your order if you sign up for emails (which is insane). Also, if you know you love them, why not thrift some off ebay if you know your size? If you found something you really like, not a bad idea to stick with it. As you know, there aren't a ton of non-stretch thick chinos now, under $120 retail.

In no way pushing my opinion on you, but the 30 off would bring them to 118 new - or used/ebay, surely under 100?

I have seen good things about Cordings here but no direct experience. They have non-stretch chinos in a traditional cut. Lost Monarch is an SF affiliate and also have read good things here, have not seen in person. Good luck, it is difficult to find a well-made trouser for <$150.

JCrew Wallace & Barnes officers Chinos fit your description.


I grabbed a couple pairs for around the $18 price point last sale and they're well worth the price premium over regular Jcrew pants.

Spier and Mackay has them. I wanted the stretch ones but they were out. They had quite a few 100% cotton.

I have some non-stretch chinos from Orvis which were pretty cheap and have held up well. The material is quite stiff and heavy, which makes them more useful in colder weather.
