Men's Wide Leg Cotton Chinos with Pleats
How to spot the original Wide Leg Pleated Chinos
Two deep pleats fold in under a flat front waistband panel, and a pressed seam runs down the centre of each leg, so the wide leg swings neatly as you walk.
Soft brushed cotton with a heathered grey surface you can feel; it has enough weight to hang well and keeps the pleats in place after washing rather than going limp.
Two pointed patch pockets at the back, flat side pockets at the front, elastic only at the sides and back of the waist, and small toggles at the hem.
The chinos
Deep pleats, wide leg
Two deep pleats at the front give the trousers volume and a fluid, swinging drape.
The waistband has a drawstring inside, so you can pull it in to your own fit.
Side pockets sit flat and keep the clean line of the leg.
The deep pleats are what give these trousers their character: they add volume at the front and let the wide leg swing, so even a simple T-shirt and trainers look styled. The drawstring waist means you can adjust the fit in a second. The pleats keep their shape after washing.
The fabric
Soft and warm
The brushed cotton has a soft, heathered look and feels lovely against the skin.
It breathes well, so the trousers are comfortable indoors as well as out.
The fabric has enough weight to hang well and keep the pleats in place.
Brushed cotton feels warmer and softer than a smooth twill, which makes these trousers perfect for cooler days and lazy weekends. The heathered grey has a subtle texture that looks relaxed but never sloppy. The drawstring sits inside the waistband, so the front stays clean.
The fit
Full and relaxed
The flat waist measures 68 cm on the S up to 80 cm on the XL, with a very roomy seat.
They are 104 to 110 cm long with a wide 64 to 70 cm leg opening that pools softly over trainers.

Pair them with a boxy tee, a cropped knit or an overshirt to balance the wide leg. White trainers or chunky boots both work, and grey goes with black, white, navy and cream, so the trousers fit easily into your wardrobe. Tuck in a knit for a neat waist and a fuller leg.
From Maria & Denis
Wide leg cotton chinos with deep pleats: a soft, relaxed pair with the drape of tailored trousers.
They are made from a brushed cotton with a gentle, slightly textured surface that feels warm and cosy.
Deep pleats at the front open up the leg into a full, wide shape, and a drawstring waist keeps the fit easy.
Comfortable like your favourite joggers, but neat enough to wear out.
These are the most relaxed trousers in our chino range: soft brushed cotton, deep pleats and a full wide leg that moves as you walk, for men who want comfort without giving up on a sharp shape. They are the kind of trousers that make a simple outfit look effortless. The soft fabric and easy waist make them a favourite for travel days, long Sunday walks and evenings at home.
Pleats give wide-leg chinos room at the hip and a soft drape below, so they look relaxed rather than baggy. Wear them with a tucked-in knit or a plain T-shirt and loafers or clean trainers. Wash them at thirty degrees, hang them straight out of the machine and the creases mostly fall out on their own.
Heather grey, in sizes S to XL.

Fabric & care
Cotton.
Machine wash at 30°C inside out, hang to dry.
Cotton is breathable and easy to care for: wash it at 30°C inside out with similar colours.
Hang it to dry rather than tumble drying, which keeps the colour fresh and stops shrinking.
A quick cool iron or a steamer smooths it out in seconds.

Questions and answers
How do I choose my size in these trousers?
They come in sizes S to XL. The size guide on this page gives measurements of the trousers themselves, taken flat: waist flat, thigh, leg opening and length. Measure a similar pair you own, laid flat, and compare it with the chart; free UK delivery and 30 days to return give you time to check the fit at home.
How do I wash these trousers?
Machine wash at 30°C inside out, hang to dry. Hang it to dry rather than tumble drying, which keeps the colour fresh and stops shrinking. A quick cool iron or a steamer smooths it out in seconds.
What are these trousers made of?
They are made from cotton. Cotton is breathable and soft against the skin, so it is comfortable all day. The full care guide is in the Fabric & care section of the description.
What shoes go with wide-leg trousers?
Shoes that peek out from under the hem work best: chunky trainers, loafers, ankle boots or block heels. A fitted top or a tucked-in knit keeps the wide leg the focus of the outfit.
How long are these trousers?
The chart gives a length of 104 cm for size S, up to 110 cm for size XL. Measure a pair you own from the waistband down to the hem and compare. Small differences of 1–2 cm are normal for measurements taken by hand.
