1. The "easy-to-wear" designs of the three major classic brands are also useful for business casual.

PT TORINO , GTA , and INCOTEX are considered the three giants among the many highly regarded trouser brands. As expected from Italian trouser brands, they are characterized by their beautiful silhouettes and dressy appearance.
However, there are some hidden gems that combine a dressy look with a relaxed fit. Their appearance, which doesn't immediately suggest they're easy pants, makes them ideal for business trips involving frequent travel, or for today's new normal business style paired with a T-shirt or similar garment.

1. PT TRINO "OMRGA"

We offer modern pants that are in line with the times.

Founded in 2008 in Turin, Northern Italy, as a company specializing in trousers, based on the concept that "trousers are the most important item in men's clothing."



While slim-fitting slacks are the classic choice, models like this one, with an elastic waistband and drawstring, have gained popularity in recent years. This sporty model combines exceptional comfort thanks to its stretch fabric with the slacks-like shape that pairs well with jackets.

2. GTA "GIORGINO"

An evolved legendary hit

GTA was founded in 1955 in Selvazzano, northern Italy.



This "Giorgino" model is an updated version of the "Giorgio" ribbed dress pants that were a sensation in the 2000s. It features a single pleat, providing ample room around the thighs for comfortable wear, while the tapered leg creates a dressy silhouette.

3. INCOTEX "84"

Classic chinos now available in an easy-to-wear design for added comfort.

Founded in Venice in 1951, INCOTEX is a brand that can be considered a pioneer of the leg-flattering trousers boom in Japan.


This "84" model has a moderately tight silhouette, similar to the classic "30" chino model, but the elastic waistband at the back makes it easier to wear. Furthermore, it comes with a drawstring that can be hidden at the waist, making it perfect for pairing with a jacket. The summer poplin fabric will also be very useful in the coming seasons.

II. What are "denim pants, chinos, and military pants" that can be paired with a sophisticated casual look for off-duty occasions?

Denim pants (jeans), chinos, and military pants are quintessential casual pants, but when incorporating them into your weekend outfits, you need to be careful not to look too casual. So this time, we've picked out denim pants (jeans), chinos, and military pants that, when added to your wardrobe, will instantly create a more mature and polished casual look.
We'll introduce three brands that allow you to style them with a denim jacket without looking too rugged or losing your sense of sophistication, along with outfit examples for each.

4. CANTATE "Custom-made Chino Trousers"

It looks wide from the side, and sleek from the front.

These "Regular Chino Trousers" are a special order item for ISETAN MEN'S . Based on U.S. military chinos, they feature a center crease for a clean silhouette. The slightly glossy, elegant cotton fabric also gives them a dressy impression.




Elevate the often-frumpy look of a denim blouson with a sophisticated white and beige color scheme. The wide yet clean silhouette of the pants accentuates a mature look. Leather shoes add a touch of class to the outfit.

5. TANGENT "PIERRE"

Military pants combined with tailoring techniques.

Debuting in 2021, Tangent offers casual pants for adults by incorporating tailoring techniques and elements into military pants. This particular pair is inspired by the French Army pants "M47," produced from 1947 to 1967. It features a clean silhouette and tailored details such as a waistband on the inside.




Even with a masculine rider's jacket, choosing one made of suede and pairing it with a knit polo shirt neutralizes the rugged impression. Tangent trousers match the strength of the rider's jacket without becoming too rugged, maintaining the balance of the outfit.

6. YCHAI/Ikai "PANATELA"

Stylish and sophisticated adult denim

Founded in 2019 by Sauro Bianchetti, the founder of SIVIGLIA, a leading Italian denim brand, this brand, renowned for its flattering fit, boasts an exquisitely tapered leg line. Furthermore, the stretchy denim fabric provides exceptional comfort.




This casual yet polished off-duty outfit features a lightweight, unstructured jacket paired with five-pocket trousers for a relaxed look. The slim-tapered trousers from Ikai maintain the jacket's dressy feel. The black denim adds a sophisticated touch, creating a stylish and subtly alluring look.
