The verdict
Fit
Navy ink is a deeper, richer tone than standard navy. The Nohe cut from a European designer likely sits with precision at the hip and thigh. European sizing standards apply—sizes may run small.
Quality
Light cotton twill implies summer-suitable weight and careful dyeing for depth. Officine Générale's construction ensures durability and shape retention through repeated wear.
Is the price fair?
At 236 EUR with 20% off (~189 EUR), this sits at the higher end of designer but with meaningful discount. Fair if you buy the brand; less so if price-shopping alone.
Best for
Officine Générale collectors or office/formal-casual dressers seeking a refined navy that reads richer than standard chinos.
Care
Navy inks can bleed early; wash separately and cold to preserve depth and prevent dye transfer to lighter clothes.
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.
