Inside the Blackjacks: black, stretch chino and a quiet cut

The Blackjacks is a straightforward idea: a stretch chino trouser in black. No logo, no unnecessary seams, nothing that dates quickly.

How to wear it

Wear it with a white tee and sneakers for the weekend, or a shirt and knit for something more considered.

Fit

The shape is familiar and that is deliberate. It reads as a trouser you have owned for years, not one bought last week.

Care

Thirty degrees, mild detergent, no fabric softener. The latter coats the fibres and dulls black over time.

Fabric

Look closely and the weave is even. stretch chino of this quality keeps its shape after repeated washing, which is where most trousers fail.

Worth knowing

Colours within the range are dyed to sit together, which makes combining two pieces from the same fabric straightforward.

Consider it if you want stretch chino without the price of a designer label, and a cut that will not look dated in two years.
