Universal Works Military Chino Black Tropical Suiting

The Universal Works Military Chino in Black Tropical Suiting provides a sophisticated and practical solution for those seeking a trouser that bridges the gap between classic workwear and modern tailoring. This garment addresses the need for a travel-ready, sharp-looking chino by utilising Universal Works' signature Tropical Suiting—a high-performance polyester and wool blend that remains crisp and crease-free. Featuring a flattering mid-rise and a clean taper, it functions as a versatile "everyday-formal" staple that looks just as good straight out of a suitcase as it does freshly pressed.

Our Style, Fit & Sizing Recommendations

• While Universal Works is known for wider cuts, the Military Chino is one of their slimmer, more "flattering" shapes.
• Most users find these fit accurately at the waist.
• The taper towards the ankle creates a clean break over heritage boots or low-profile sneakers, making them highly versatile for different footwear styles.

Washing & Care Instructions

• Use a gentle cycle to protect the wool fibres. Avoid high-spin settings to maintain the crease-resistant properties.
• Do not tumble dry, we recommend to hang to dry naturally. The polyester content allows the fabric to dry quickly and shed any light packing creases.
• If necessary, use a cool iron setting to sharpen the leg crease, though the fabric is designed to stay crisp naturally.
• For a total refresh, these can be professionally dry cleaned to preserve the "Suiting" handle.

Universal Works Military Chino - Our FAQs

1. Are these "skinny" chinos?
   Not at all. Universal Works focuses on a "clean and neat" fit. They provide room in the thigh for movement and only taper from the knee down for a modern look.

2. What makes Tropical Suiting "tropical"?
   It refers to the light, open weave of the fabric. It is designed to be breathable in warmer climates and indoor environments while maintaining the structured appearance of wool.

3. Can I wear these with a belt?
   Yes, the Military Chino features standard belt loops, allowing you to dress them up further with a leather or woven belt.

4. Is the fabric itchy like old wool?
   No. The blend with high-quality polyester creates a smooth, soft handle that is comfortable against the skin, even in warmer weather.
