Origin and history of chinosCreated by the British Army in the mid-19th century and later popularized in the United States

The origin of chinos is believed to be the khaki-colored fabric military uniform of the British Army stationed in India in the 1800s. Khaki, the standard color for chinos, was created by locally dyeing the white uniforms of the British Army of the time with tea, coffee, mud, and spices, which had the disadvantage of making them stand out from the enemy. Later, industrial dyeing was advanced and standardized, and khaki became the standard color for chinos. The word “khaki” is an Urdu word meaning “dusty, earthy color. Incidentally, the term “colonial color,” which refers to such khaki and beige colors, comes from the shades of clothing worn by British colonists when they visited their colonies during the colonial period. Chinos were later adopted by the U.S. Army, and became popular in Japan after U.S. soldiers stationed in the Philippines returned home during the Spanish-American War in 1898. In Manila in 1945, MacArthur wore a pair of lightweight cotton twill pants made in China, which local Spanish speakers called “pantalones chinos” (“Chinese pants”), A photograph of MacArthur wearing a khaki-colored chinocloth set-up in Manila in 1945 was widely circulated as a symbol of U.S. victory in the war, reinforcing the image of khaki as the pride of a military man.

The most distinctive feature is the twill fabric, which is mainly made of cotton, and its diagonal ridges create a moderate firmness and abrasion resistance, and the more it is washed, the more it becomes more expressive. The fabric is made of twin twill yarns (combed yarns) in a right twill weave called “waist point,” which is similar to chino, but has a higher luster and better abrasion resistance than regular chino.
