Italian Army Vintage Chino Pants

Italian Issue Khaki Chinos

These are Italian Army chino trousers, a khaki service pant cut with a pleated front and a pressed crease down each leg. They are made from a cotton and polyester blend and dress up or down easily, so they suit everyday wear, workwear and period uniform builds. Collectors of European military clothing and anyone looking for a well-made pair of chinos with real provenance will find a lot to like here.

Features

• Genuine Italian Army Issue — Each pair was made for the Italian military, not produced later for the fashion market.
• Cotton-Polyester Blend — Cotton gives the fabric a soft hand, and polyester helps it hold its shape and crease through repeated washing.
• Khaki Colorway — The tan-khaki shade goes with olive, navy, white and most other neutrals.
• Pleated Front — A forward-facing pleat at each side of the fly adds room through the hips and thighs when you sit or move.
• Pressed Center Crease — A sharp crease runs down the front of each leg, the way a service trouser is traditionally finished.
• Straight Leg Cut — The legs fall straight from the knee and sit easily over boots or dress shoes.
• Slanted Side Pockets — Angled front pockets make it easy to reach for keys or a wallet.
• Belt Loops And Waist Tab — Belt loops circle the waistband, and an extended tab closes the front above the fly.

Service Cut And Fabric

The pattern is a traditional military chino: a pleated front, a lined waistband and a straight, creased leg made to look neat in uniform. Because the cotton and polyester blend resists wrinkling better than plain cotton, the trousers keep a clean line from morning to evening. Owning original issue means you get the cut and fabric the Italian Army actually specified, which matters to reenactors and collectors as much as to everyday wearers.
