These pants appeared in the middle of the XIX century. They were developed specifically for the British military, based in the Indian colonies. At first, all the clothes for the soldiers were produced in white.

But this option was too labeled and impractical, so white cotton before sewing was dyed with any convenient means at hand - curry, mulberry, coffee. As a result, this inimitable and characteristic for chinos shade of khaki arose, which later became traditional for such trousers.

The pants owed their name to China - the British bought cloth for them there, and so it happened - chino (“Chinese”) trousers. For many decades, such pants moved from one country to another as an army uniform for hot countries.
