The chino that looks put-together and feels like pajamas. A straight leg and welt back pockets give it a dressed-up edge, while a sneaky elastic waistband — hidden flat so it never reads as elastic — keeps things easy on and off. Front slant pockets, a functional zip fly, and snap closure round out the details, so it looks just as sharp at a dinner reservation as it does on the last day of school.

Comfortable enough to forget he's wearing anything but sweats — sharp enough that no one else will know it.
