If there’s anything more ubiquitous in the world of pants than denim, it’s twill. Yet not many people have heard of “twill.” Twill is the foundation for chino pants, so you’ll hear them referred to as “chinos” or even “khakis.” And since twill is a type of weave, not a type of fabric, you’ll often hear them referred to as “cotton chinos” or “cotton khakis.”
Plainly speaking, twill is a fabric weave that uses a diagonal rib pattern, in contrast to a “plain,” or straight weave. This pattern gives twill a tight weave and ensures the fabric from which it’s constructed has good “draping” qualities—i.e., it moves well over the skin.
Twill made from 100% cotton can be fashioned into chino cloth, which is essentially the foundation of all chino pants. This means that twill is fundamentally built in to casual and professional pants alike, offering a comfortable, versatile, and stylish alternative to plain jeans.
