Wide Leg Stretch Chinos
Details
93 MacDougal Street
You’re tucked into a booth at San Remo Café. Pressed tin ceiling. Black-and-white tile floors. A second espresso on the way. The dollar salad, too. You survive on those.
In your hands, Tennessee’s new work-in-progress. He's asked you for notes, with a caveat scrawled on the cover page: "Not too kind. Not too honest." On you, wide-legged cropped chinos and this turtleneck sweater. Wire-rimmed glasses perched on your perfectly pert nose. An array of silver rings on your fingers. Your fingers on the very pulse of a literary movement.
Years from this moment, in 1960, it’s here at the San Remo that writer Ron Sukenick sees blue jeans on a woman for the first time. Is that you, too?
The San Remo Wide Leg Cropped Chino, in soft, garment-dyed cotton blend stretch twill. Clean Hollywood waistband with big well-spaced belt loops, an open, refreshing look. Trim on-seam pockets and front and back darts. Metal zipper. Waist curves up in back to form V-shaped notch, for victory over the commonplace. 25" inseam. Imported.
