Chino cloth

Chino cloth is a sturdy cotton twill fabric, traditionally woven in a uniform structure and used for trousers, uniforms, and other garments.

Twill: A textile weave in which threads pass over and under multiple threads to create diagonal ribs. Chino cloth’s diagonal surface comes from this weave structure.
Chinos: Trousers made from chino cloth, usually cut in a casual style. These trousers take their name from the fabric they are traditionally made from.
British Indian Army: The armed forces of British India before the country’s independence in 1947. British Indian military clothing helped establish the use of khaki cotton twill.
Denim: A sturdy cotton twill fabric, commonly woven with indigo-dyed warp yarns and pale weft yarns. Denim shares the twill structure but typically has a more conspicuous two-color face.
Cotton: A soft natural fiber harvested from the seed hairs of cotton plants. Cotton is the traditional fiber used to make chino cloth.
Military uniform: Standardized clothing worn by members of armed forces. Chino cloth became associated with service garments because it was durable and practical.
Khaki uniform: A military uniform in a dusty tan or olive-brown color, adopted for field use. The cloth became associated with the practical uniforms that popularized khaki.
Drill (fabric): A durable cotton or linen twill fabric, often heavier than ordinary shirting cloth. Drill can resemble chino cloth but is commonly heavier and more work-oriented.
Warp and weft: The lengthwise and crosswise thread systems interlaced to form woven fabric. Their interlacing determines the cloth’s twill structure and strength.
Khaki: A dusty tan color and, by extension, garments made in that color. Chino cloth is often dyed khaki, though the fabric itself is not defined by color.
