Chino cloth is a kind of
twill fabric, usually made primarily from
cotton. Originally used in British and French military uniforms in the mid-1800s, today it is also used to make civilian clothing. Chino pants gained popularity in the U.S. in the 1900s after military men returning from the
Philippines after the
Spanish-American War brought back their cotton military trousers. These pants were originally made in China. "Chino" is the Spanish term for Chinese; hence the fabric and these pants picked up the name. The first chinos sold in the U.S. were
U.S. Army military-issue pants, and in order to save fabric during
WWII-era constraints, they had no pleats and were tapered at the bottom of the leg.
