Element Big Pleated Chino Pant Kalamata

The Element Big Pleated Chino Pant in Kalamata provides a contemporary and voluminous solution for those seeking a modern trouser with a nod to traditional tailoring. This garment addresses the need for a durable, wide-leg trouser by using a heavyweight 320 g/m2 twill that combines standard cotton with Global Recycled Standard cotton. Featuring distinct front pleats and a relaxed low crotch, these trousers function as a statement piece that offers maximum mobility and a unique profile, finished in a deep forest green.

At Urban Industry we recommend / Ideal For

• Fans of oversized silhouettes and relaxed tailoring
• Skateboarding and urban commuting where durability and leg room are essential
• Building a sustainable wardrobe with midweight, recycled cotton fabrics
• Pairing with a tucked-in t-shirt or a cropped jacket to highlight the pleated waist detail

Our Style, Fit & Sizing Recommendations

• These trousers feature a "Big Fit," which is significantly wider than a standard straight or relaxed cut
• The low crotch and wide leg opening of 22cm provide a boxy and draped appearance
• The fixed waist fits true to size, but the overall volume of the leg is intentionally large
• Here at the store we recommend taking your usual waist size, but be prepared for a much roomier fit through the hips and thighs

Washing & Care Instructions

• Machine wash at 30 degrees to maintain the structure of the heavy 320 g/m2 twill
• Wash with similar dark colours to preserve the depth of the Kalamata pigment
• Hang to dry naturally and avoid the use of a tumble dryer to prevent unnecessary shrinkage
• Use a warm iron to sharpen the front pleats and keep the back darts looking crisp
• Wash inside out to protect the fabric surface and branding labels from machine abrasion

Element Big Pleated Chino Pant - Our FAQs

1. How "Big" is the fit compared to a standard chino?
   These are designed to be oversized. The 28.5cm knee measurement and wide leg mean they sit very loosely away from the body, providing a more directional, streetwear-focused look.

2. Does the recycled cotton content make the fabric stiff?
   The 320 g/m2 weight gives the trousers a substantial, high-quality feel, but the high cotton content ensures they remain soft and will break in comfortably with wear.

3. What is the benefit of the front pleats?
   Beyond the visual style, the pleats allow for extra fabric across the hips, which prevents the trousers from pulling when you sit or move, further enhancing the comfort of the wide-leg cut.

4. Is the 29.7 inch inseam suitable for taller people?
   The lower crotch design means the waistband sits higher, effectively making the total length feel longer than a standard 30 inch leg trouser. They are designed to sit perfectly above most footwear.
