A Thoughtful Pair of Chinos
A Thoughtful Pair of Chinos
To the naked eye, they may seem like a regular pair of chinos, but through investigative inspection, you may discover a few things that you won’t find elsewhere. Two aspects of this pair of pants were demanding my attention: the herringbone weave twill & the crotch rivet. “What the hell is a crotch rivet?” you may ask, well that’s exactly the intrigue; It is almost impossible to find a crotch rivet on any pant, let alone any pair of jeans made after the 40’s. This takes us back to a brief denimology lesson with 2 different but valid theories: 1. The crotch rivet was removed from production because cowboys, after being near campfire, saw the danger of the burning hot rivet once they got back on their saddles. 2. During the war, companies were forced to reduce use of metals in their production forcing Jean manufacturers to eliminate useless rivets. I think the first one sounds cooler, but choose the one you want to tell your friend….(Thanks SUFU)
The herringbone is a plus, giving abit of “dandy” to a casual item is always nice.
Note: Even though the quality of their garments don’t scream excellency, Ransom’s pieces often possess a little extra in the details department.
