Best Answer

Chino cloth From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Pants made from chino cloth.

Chino cloth is a twill fabric, originally made of 100% cotton. Today it is also found in cotton-synthetic blends. The cloth is mostly used to make pants known as Khakis, in the United States, or Chinos, in the United Kingdom.

Developed in the mid-19th century for British and French military uniforms, it has since migrated into civilian wear. Trousers of such a fabric gained popularity in the U.S. when Spanish-American War veterans returned from the Philippines with their twill military trousers.

The First Khaki Trousers

Sir Harry Lumsden had a long and storied military career, and retired to Scotland a Major General. Born on an East India ship in 1821, he fought six campaigns and was wounded, but his greatest contribution to civilization is... the chino.
