Chino a taille elastique

Chinos

€195as of Jul 5, 2026. Check the current price at Officine Générale

The verdict

Drawstring chino for comfort without sacrificing polish; smart for travel or relaxed days.

Fit

Elasticated waist provides give but maintains a chino silhouette. Fit looser than plain-front versions; good for bloat days or worn untucked.

Quality

Organic cotton blend with structured twill, same quality expectation as the plain-front version. Elastic waist is a durability point to watch over time.

Price check

Mid-premium at 195 EUR, same tier as the plain-front. The elastic adds practicality at no extra cost, making this excellent value if you wear relaxed fits.

Best for

The wearer who needs chinos that flex between office and weekend, or prefers comfort without looking casual.

Care

Wash with the elastic in natural position (not bunched); air dry to extend elastic life.

What owners report about Officine Générale chinos

Forum members single out the chinos and trousers among the pieces they like from this line, and fabric quality draws the most consistent praise, though several say they only buy during sale season rather than at full retail. Construction is where owners see costs cut: one reported the top button popping off a pair of the brand's trousers after only a couple dozen wears. Retail editors describe the fisherman chino's cotton twill as soft yet robust, with a slightly slim cut.

Strengths: Fabric quality is the most consistently praised trait, with the chinos and trousers named among the line's better pieces at a price owners consider fair, especially on sale.
Watch out for: Construction hardware fails first — an owner reported a top button popping off after a couple dozen wears — and several forum members say full retail is hard to justify versus waiting for sales.
Sizing: The line runs slim and slightly small; one owner who normally takes a 50 in pants sizes up to a 52 across the brand and found the fisherman chino fits a full size small.
