write 3 differences between Tightly and Khakis.
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
First and foremost, a Brit will tell you that khakis are a color, not a style of pants. That being said, what you're referring to as chinos and khakis are pretty much the same thing. Now, Bonobos does have a few different styles of each, and they do a great job of describing each. They also do a great job of allowing the customer/site navigator to filter a product offering based on type; e.g. midweight cords, wools, chinos, etc.
Here's my best attempt at describing differences, at least in terms of fabric.
The "dress cottons" are best compared to the cotton Dockers fabric that you can buy at Sears, in that it's treated in such a way that you need to dry clean them to maintain their more formal look. You'd wear these to the office in a business casual environment with a button down shirt and blazer.
The Gameday chinos are washed to give them a more informal and broken in look to them, and are also made of a heavier grade of fabric. They're made to take a beating, so tailgate in them, drop a beer in your lap, or get rained on.
They also make some stretch chinos. A basic washed cotton with some lycra spun in for better shape and durability. I have some of these that I'm going on 3 years wearing. The lycra allows the pants to hug your body a bit more than non-stretchy pants do, but are by no means super tight or constricting. These are also awesome for a button down and blazer, and just as at home on the golf course.
Lastly, in the chino family are the basics, which I believe are the $88 price tag items. These are your typical chinos in terms of fabric, but cut in the Bonobos style; curved waist, trim seat, and NON tapered lower leg. Most are available in bootcut (BC) or straight leg opening (SL), which means the same opening at the hem as at the knee.
The Bull Denim line is very similar to regular denim, maybe a pinch lighter in weight. Same design, but with some Bonobos magic in the seat.
As I type this, I'm wearing some of the new denim. By no means is it raw denim, but it's also not like 7FAM or Joe's that's super thin and beat to hell when you buy them new. They fit more trimly in the seat and thigh and don't have a single Bonobos branded detail on them on the exterior. Just high quality denim cut the right way, sewn to last, and washed just right.
There you have it, at least as far as the basic cotton types are concerned. Don't forget to check into the midweight cords for a more casual type of pant. Those are my favorite this time of year in Chicago.
