history
Chinos were first used as military clothing – they were worn by British and French soldiers during the Spanish-American War in the mid-19th century. The Filipinos called the material made in China “Chino” after the place of origin, and this name was quickly transferred to the garment made from it.
A typical feature of the chinos comes from the thrifty wartime – it was and is no material for envelopes “wasted”. The first army pants were khaki and were therefore called “khakis”. After the war they established themselves in civilian clothes, not least because of the pleasantly light feeling. Therefore, chinos are also classified as summer clothing, they are simply too thin and airy for the cold season.
