The Smart Chino vs. The Heavyweight Chino

Marie Luther

With our Smart Chino, high quality meets revolutionary stretch cotton. Our popular essential is now also available in a new version: the new Heavyweight Chino is now also a part of the SANVT collection. So, what are the differences between the two models and when is the best time to wear them? We’d like to introduce you both of our Chinos.

The Smart Chino

The Smart Chino consists of a mix of sustainable premium cotton and elastane and adapts perfectly to the leg shape thanks to the stretch cotton. The elastic waistband and the hidden cords make the chinos extremely comfortable and offer maximum freedom of movement.

Not only that, the light fabric (290g/m²) of the pants is breathable and provides a cooling effect on warm days. Perfect for the upcoming spring and summer!
The Smart Chino is unique thanks to its innovative workmanship. The extra smartphone pocket on the front and the two hidden back pockets give these pants a very practical character. This is complemented by the elaborately processed seams, for example in the hem of the pants. The matching inner lining and the high-quality buttons round off the Smart Chino to create a classic modern essential.

The Heavyweight Chino

The new version of our classic chino pants provides warmth as well as comfort. Thanks to the use of a heavy material (420g/m²) the pants not only feel super high-quality but are also perfect to wear on cooler days. And thanks to a loose weaving technique, the fabric traps air better and heat can be stored better and longer. The mix of premium cotton and elastane keeps the pants comfortable. A perfect mix of innovation and quality!

The Heavyweight Chino also impress with its practical workmanship. A reversed hook and eye closure and the elastic waistband with hidden cords ensure a perfect fit. High-quality metal ends on the cords give the chinos a luxurious look and, together with the innovative details, contribute to a modern and timeless design.
