A superior chino. Simple, incredibly comfortable and well suited for the rain, grit and motion of real life. A cotton twill upgraded with micro-denier nylon for durability, and elastane for a four way stretch and true freedom of movement.


story

The 60/30 Chinos are the sort of pants we love to make. Simple, incredibly comfortable and well suited for the rain, grit and motion of real life. Pants you'll want to pull out of your closet and wear everyday. Breathable and gifted with a true freedom of movement.

We went back to the drawing board here, with the goal of creating a superior cotton twill pant. We started with our 60/30 Cloth, a carefully considered blend of cotton (64%), micro-denier nylon (29%) and elastane (7%). You get all the comfort and good looks of a classic cotton khaki twill, but with the durability of a hiking parka and the four way stretch freedom of a bike short. We built them up using a waistband-free, military style construction. We added key loops, a stash pocket and hidden front button.

The result might just be our best pant yet. Not quite as technical as our OGs or Dungarees, but an amazingly comfortable chino that moves better, stays clean longer and is more durable than any cotton pant we've seen on the market. Hidden button front, lean cut, fits true to size.


fabric

We called our new chino fabric "60/30 Cloth" in homage to the fabric that Sierra Design named their killer 60/40 Parka's after. Back in 1968 George Marks and Bob Swanson honed in on a 58% cotton, 42% nylon blend fabric as the ideal balance of handfeel, durability, water resistance and breathability. They rounded the numbers to 60/40 for marketing purposes and went on to make the iconic jacket of 1970's era hiking and camping. For our 60/30 Cloth we wanted a fabric with a classic cotton twill handfeel, but with the durability of a hiking parka and a four way stretch for the ultimate freedom of movement. We settled on a combination of 64% cotton, 29% nylon and 7% elastane. We added a "self-cleaning" NanoSphere® treatment for extra water and dirt resistance as well as quick drying properties. Then we rounded the numbers off to 60/30 for marketing purposes and the Outlier 60/30 Cloth was born.

The 60/30 Cloth is simple and suited for the grit and repetitive motion of real life. A fabric you’ll want to wear everyday all the while staying durable and breathable.
