Spices, wear-tested: what actually holds up

Spices · The Originals

Nov 3, 2026·

The Spices belongs to the Shorts range and comes in burnt orange. It is stretch chino, cut for regular wear rather than one season, which is why the construction matters more than the name.

Care

Wash cold, inside out, hang to dry. Skip the dryer: heat is what shortens the life of stretch chino. A soft brush handles most marks.

How to wear it

Keep the palette tight — two tones plus burnt orange — and the outfit needs no further thought.

Fit

The silhouette is deliberately plain. That is the point: it does not fight a jacket, a knit or a heavier shoe.

Fabric

Made from stretch chino, the Spices resists creasing and holds its colour when washed cold. It feels substantial without being heavy.

Worth knowing

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

Nothing here is designed to impress at first glance. The point is that it keeps working, season after season.
