Recommended chinos pants (2) “Levi’s STA-PREST WLC
Levi’s” was founded in 1853 by Levi Strauss, who came to the United States as an immigrant from Germany during the gold rush. In response to requests from gold miners for “durable work clothes,” Levi’s developed work pants, the predecessor to jeans, and reinforced the pockets with rivets, thus creating the prototype for jeans. Levi’s standard chinos were the “STA-PREST” or “STAPLEST,” which became a staple of the Ivy look. In addition to cotton, a resilient polyester material is blended to create a crisp, elegant texture that is at the same time soft and supple. Incidentally, the WLC at the end of the word stands for wide leg crop.

Buzz Rickson’s, which has gained tremendous support for its high-quality military wear that can only be realized through its thorough knowledge of military wear, offers authentic-looking military chinos for each age group.

The volume is slightly lower than the 1942 model, but the silhouette is more relaxed than modern chinos and has a sense of presence, making them perfect for wearing with oversized tops. They are sure to fit well with oversized tops of the season. Since they are unwashed at the time of purchase, you can enjoy a deep change over time as you wear them.
