All‑cotton twill fabric made of combed two‑ply yarns.
A durable cotton twill that is woven in several weights and can be finished with a smooth, mercerized or soft, brushed surface. Originally used for summer uniforms by the US Army during their defense of the Chinese in the 1900 Boxer Rebellion, chino gained popularity following WWII when college men wore them to college after returning from war. The name came to be after the twill was shipped to the army in freight boxes stamped with the country of origin; however, the imprint read "Chino" rather than "China."
Chino is a steep-twill fabric with a slight sheen, often made in a bottom-weight fabric of cotton or cotton/polyester. It is often made of combed two-ply yarns in both warp and filling and vat-dyed in khaki.
A classic, all-cotton "Army twill" fabric produced from combed two-ply yarns. Traditionally used in army uniforms, chino pants gained popularity in casual wear in the post WWII era and have remained a staple since. Interestingly, the term "chino" is actually a misnomer, originating because the fabric was produced in China. When this twill was first shipped to the U.S., its country of origin was stamped on freight boxes. The imprint was misread as "Chino" instead of "China", and thus taken as a description of the cloth. Despite the mix-up, the name has stuck.
