Why I love Chinos More Than Denim Jeans: Buzz Rickson 1942 Chinos Review 

Lovely video! Helped me gain insight after I bought them recently, your video was very helpful as I couldn't find much reviews on the 1942 khaki pair. I am certainly more hopeful for when it comes in the mail soon. Thanks!

Jake, I'm so glad you did chinos! I'm currently on the look out, where, how...And you provided all l needed to know. Thanks a bunch. Yes, they are versatile, casual, affordable. The Buzz goes offer a lot more. Looking forward to the straight jeans, t-shirts videos. Nice work and appreciates your transparency above all, it's real

Hi Jake, great video and great thanks for this detailed sharing. One interesting thing to note here is that "shinny" fabric the Buzz has utilized in these great chinos. They are shinny mainly because they are using the best-quality cotton (maybe Supima, I am not sure, but definitely cotton with very long fibers). A piece of killer garment!

I love my Buzz Rickson's absolutely the best chinos I've ever owned. I noticed the fabric is slightly thicker when compared to most modern chinos and I think it gives them an excellent drap. I'm so glad you made this video! I've had the same thoughts.... although I wear jeans and sport coats all the time😂

Wore the black version today. I definitely dress a lot more casual but they're pretty classic so they work with most styles.

Rickson and Mcoys are fantastic chinos! Great review!

haha I'm wearing chinos more than ever too, mostly because I'm enjoying being slightly dressier lately (eg wingtips, sports jackets, loafers) but also because I got some denim shirts. Also I got Merz B Schwanen's chin001 last week and their flappy-but-slightly-tapered cut is making me want to wear them with absolutely everything

a dark denim and a sports jacket has become a classic look. i don't think it's going anywhere and here to stay.

I love chinos too! The rise is perfect plus they go with everything!

Agree on the dress up or dress down limits on the chinos. More versatile than jeans in my opinion also. Especially when abroad on holidays in Europe, I can pack a chinos and get to use them casual during the day and more formal (ish) in the evening for dinners. Whereas I’d need jeans and chinos normally

I would love to try a pair, you and David (The Vintage Future) both seem to love them. I would prefer to try them on first if possible though.

I also think its seasonal. I love jeans in the winter but they suck in the summer. Chinos are good year round. They are more comfy than jeans (Even the new stretchy ones)

I have a pair of EG Workaday khakis that I purchased 11(!) years ago from the Bureau Belfast that have a similar cut. It's harder to find Workaday now but it appears that Nepenthes has a similar pant for sale. Unfortunately EG's attempt to be trendy (elasticized waists), incorporation of cheaper material like ripstop, and overall lower quality may make them less desirable.

I've only recently woken up to just how much cheaper things can be if you buy direct from Japan. It doesn't always apply (and I'd hate to turn folk away from really great retailers like Redcast, who also have great prices) but I was looking at a pair of Sugar Cane's 1966 repros and the difference between Hinoya and the only UK retailer I know who carries them was insane. By the way, that green wool jacket with the plaid front is an absolute peach - can you tell me what it is? Thanks for a great vid!

Can you tell me about what you're wearing in the video? It looks great! The hat, shirt, belt, and pants.

I got intrigued by the 90's sport coat denim phenomenon you spoke of. After some research i do see what you mean E.g. Jay Leno and Jerry Seinfeld but I also saw some examples of it looking pretty fire; the jury is still out for me. Also, I think the real battle is chinos/trousers against sweatpants/athleisure wear, hopefully the youth wake up.

90s style was awful, but we said that about the 60s, 70s, 80s too. But at least those decades were coherent.

I used to wear a lot of beige chinos when I was younger. They are very versatile. Nowadays its slacks and corduroy exclusively. Just as versatile for me and looks a lot sharper. I also think they're more comfortable. Though I recently bought a pair of jeans again, but they are cut like slacks.

Can you do a video on how to wear black? I have been very averse to wearing black for many years (always worn brown boots, that kind of thing) but Ive been becoming more interested in incorporating it into my wardrobe. I know “black goes with everything” but I would love if you did a deep dive in what to wear with it

Would've been nice if you positioned the camera so we can get a look at the chinos you're wearing

do the black chinos look less shiny and more black in person? the photographs make them look very reflective (great photos by the way!!)

Who do you recommend for trousers, linen and wool pleated style trousers. Cheers

That shirt !

How much did the waist stretch after you broke these in?

As a non American I don't understand the use for chinos

I really like chinos myself. I am considering buying a pair of tellason chinos. I recently bought some selvage jeans that I can't get enough of. But I like chinos so much and I think its because I wore so many dickies as a kid. And my grandfather always wore chinos and work pants. Great video.

Hahaha I find this take sooo controversial but it’s because I love denim so much more 😂😂. Tan chinos are unreal though and go great with a denim shirt or denim jacket 🤣

Vanta Black.

Dont be too vocal about it. Some hipster in japan is going to start tying to charge us $350 for that too.
