The Friday Find: J. Press Is Making Some of the Most Classic Menswear on the Market, These Chinos Included

J. Press men's pants review.

When you really get down to brass tacks, there are actually some brands featured in our Friday Find series that don’t necessarily need that much of an introduction at all.

That certainly holds true on this fine Friday when it comes to the menswear masters at J. Press — and if you’re not quite acquainted with the century-plus-old company, that’s about to change.

You see, the good folks at J. Press pioneered iconic Ivy League style across the past century, dating back to the company’s 1902 founding at Yale (yes, Yale). Nowadays, the brand still sticks to its guns in terms of utterly iconic prep style, from the classic chino to the crisp Oxford shirt and the instantly recognizable gold-button navy blazer.

What else has J. Press been up to lately, besides consistently delivering some of the best Oxford shirts and reliable business casual, prep style staples? Let’s find out, shall we?

You see, J. Press collaborations are equally impressive, including partnerships with everyone from Only NY and Oxford Pennant to Faribault Woolen Mills. But to dip your toes into the world of reliable everyday style, you might find yourself wanting to start things out simply and with versatile fashion top of mind — the J. Press Made In The USA Ivy Chinos (crafted from an easy-to-style Khaki Twill) just might be what the doctor ordered.

The chino pant is just about as classic as it gets, a step up in formality from dark blue jeans and a more sporty, leisurely yet still polished offering compared to suit trousers.

With heritage roots as a hard-wearing army pant, the twill chino has more than earned its stripes, and the domestically crafted nature of the J. Press Made In The USA Ivy Chinos is another winner in my book.

Made from unwashed cotton twill and featuring a trim fit and a crisply cut flat front, the J. Press Made In The USA Ivy Chinos arrive with unfinished bottoms, it’s worth noting — that way, a trusted tailor can hem them to your liking.

It’s but a small price to pay for some of the most classic men’s chinos on the market — the J. Press Made In The USA Ivy Chinos wear easily with knit polos, Oxford shirting and perhaps even a henley and a shawl cardigan in the colder months. With the handsome J. Press Made In The USA Ivy Chinos, you’re stepping into an utterly classic pair of pants this season, my friends.
