The Performance Chino
About Everlane’s chinos: Everlane's chinos lean clean and modern — the Performance Chino adds four-way stretch and a wrinkle-resistant finish to a minimal cut.
Is the price honest?
Our take
Everlane's Performance Chino pairs a clean, minimal cut with four-way stretch and a wrinkle-resistant finish, aimed at people who want a tidy chino that moves and travels well. Owners praise the comfort and the clean look. Reviewers say it's a solid modern chino, with the usual Everlane caveat that pricing reflects positioning, and that the performance fabric reads slightly synthetic to purists who want pure cotton. The stretch-and-travel convenience is the draw.

Fit check: Everlane
Varies by lineEverlane has no single direction: the slim tees and shirts run trim and a touch short, the deliberately relaxed pieces (sweaters, wide pants, jackets) run large, and denim sits true to size.
Men's reviewers report the tees and shirts cut slim and short — "their fits are generally slimmer" — and advise moving up a size if between sizes. Women's owners report the opposite on the relaxed styles: one long-term reviewer says "Everlane does typically run a little large, for the most part," sizing down in cashmere sweaters, trousers, and jackets, and calling some wide-leg pants extremely large. Denim and chinos are the stable middle — reviewers take their usual size. The consistent thread is that fit tracks the cut of each line, not the label, so owners lean on Everlane's per-garment measurements.
Sizing advice: Order your usual size in jeans and chinos, size up in the slim tees and fitted shirts if between sizes, and size down in the boxy sweaters, relaxed pants, and jackets unless you want the full oversized look.

How Everlane chinos hold up overall
Reviewers center on the Performance Chino and report it reads like a regular cotton chino while adding modest stretch — the fabric is described as smooth, light, and breathable, but tension shows up quickly when the stretch is pushed. Testers logged no durability problems during their review periods. The recurring knock is that the pants wrinkle more readily than other technical chinos and aren't suited to genuinely athletic use like golf or cycling.
- Strengths
- Owners like that the stretch and quick-dry fabric hide inside what still looks and feels like an ordinary chino.
- Watch out for
- Reviewers flag weaker wrinkle resistance than other technical pants and stretch that runs out fast during active movement.
- Sizing
- Reviewers describe the slim cut as slim without being tight and the regular cut as relaxed with extra room, so the fit reads truer and roomier than the labels suggest.
