Description

With the 1849 American Fit Dobby Chinos, FOB Factory and Barnstormer offer a particularly compelling interpretation of the classic American chino. The collaboration brings together the textile expertise of FOB Factory, based in the Kurashiki area, with Barnstormer's distinctive approach to trouser-making, inspired by traditional tailoring techniques.

The defining feature of this model is its dobby chino fabric. Unlike a traditional chino made from a uniform twill, the dobby weave gives the cotton a subtle texture and additional character. The trousers are then garment washed, naturally softening the fabric and providing a particularly comfortable feel from the very first wear.

The construction follows the principles of the American Fit developed by Barnstormer. A high rise and deep rise are combined with generous volume through the hips and thighs, while the two double front pleats naturally distribute the volume. The leg remains deliberately wide through to the opening, maintaining a generous and well-balanced silhouette. The intentionally generous length is finished with a clean-cut hem, allowing the length and finish to be adjusted according to your preferred look.

This construction reflects an approach inspired by tailoring. The trousers are designed to be shaped rather than simply assembled flat, allowing them to maintain a natural drape when worn. The wide leg and overall proportions give the 1849 a more distinctive character than contemporary slim-fitting chinos, recalling the golden age of this style of trouser.

The functional details complete this traditional approach: an adjustable waistband, ticket pocket, buttoned back pocket and generous construction designed above all for comfort. A pair of trousers that captures the codes of classic American chinos while benefiting from the precision and creativity of Japanese craftsmanship.

Why We Selected It

The 1849 perfectly illustrates what makes this collaboration between FOB Factory and Barnstormer particularly interesting. Behind the appearance of a simple chino lies a genuine focus on cut and construction, with generous volume, a high rise and a silhouette inspired by traditional American tailoring.

Its dobby fabric also gives the trousers an added sense of character, while the pre-washing means you can enjoy a soft, supple and comfortable fabric from the outset. A particularly versatile piece for those looking for a chino with more character, volume and presence than a conventional model.
