Djebel Chinos

DESCRIPTION
  • SPECS
  • PATTERN
  • Inspired by a pair of vintage local-made French military M52 Khaki Chinos modified/cut in a “Sarouel” style (pleated front, cinched bottom leg) — probably tailor-
  • made in North Africa in the mid 1950s for a Spahi or French Foreign legion NCO — combined with the construction of both early and late regulation M52 patterns.
  • FABRIC
  • Khaki “Katsuragi” Twill, 11.5 Oz., 100% cotton, milled in Japan. “Katsuragi” is a fancy weave (7×7 twisted threads) with a distinct 3×1 denim-like warp/weft thick twill pattern — very close to that of vintage French military chinos — and completely different from the tightly-woven sheen of vintage US Mils-Specs chino twills.
  • DETAILS
  • Pleated front.
  • Ankle cinch band.
  • Trapezoid beltloops.
  • Single rear pocket.
  • Indigo pincheck pocket bags.
  • Button fly, “cat-eye” corozo wood.
  • Chainstitch construction.
  • SIZING/FIT
  • Please review the size chart to find your perfect fit.
  • CARE
  • STORY
  • French troops (including French Foreign Legion) stationed in the Algerian French protectorate from 1830 to 1962 adopted the style of a local garment in their uniform: the Sarouel (spellings differ), featuring a heavily-pleated front, with a baggy silhouette drastically-cinched around the ankle.
  • Our more knickerbockers-influenced interpretation is based on a 1950s tailor-made pair of M52 khaki twill trousers, customized into a sarouel-type style.
  • Probably made for a non-com officer at the time, considering the cost of custom tailoring.
  • For the top block, our design combines early and late M52 patterns.
  • The Arabic term djebel refers to North Africa Kabylie mountain ranges, where my Dad spent his 12 month-military service duty in 1956.
  • Some family photos as previous blogpost illustration here and here.
  • Anecdotally, this style/cut is reminiscent of Nikka-Zubbon aka Tobi trousers worn by construction workers and steeplejacks in Japan, to this day.
