Rodrigo Regular Tapered Chino Gabardine Beige

The "Rodrigo Regular Tapered Chino Gabardine" by Tela Genova translates the slim, slightly tapered leg cut of the Rodrigo chino into a gabardine version. The chino itself originated in the 19th century as lightweight uniform trousers for European colonial armies and was later worn by civilians through the US Army.

Gabardine dates back to a patent application by Thomas Burberry at the end of the 19th century: a densely woven twill made from tightly twisted yarns, whose tight weave makes the fabric wind- and water-repellent without coating it like the rubberized raincoats of the time. The material became known primarily through British military coats and early polar expeditions, which relied on its durability.

In the cotton version, as used here, the typical, slightly diagonally ribbed surface of gabardine is evident, with a subtle sheen that diminishes with washing and wear.
