VERY COMFORTABLE
good value for the price
Translated from Spanish
Super comfy and breathable
Great fit, as someone who needs slightly larger legs than waist this is perfect. I like the slightly elasticated waistband and belt loops. These have become a staple, including travelling on flights and trains.

Designed in the Netherlands, the everyday trouser, refined every generation.
The Essence Chino is the most-worn trouser ETQ makes: a clean, everyday chino cut from a structured Cotton Twill, natural, breathable and hard-wearing, with a drape that holds up to daily life and takes a press when you want one. Designed in our Dutch studio and made in family-owned ateliers in Portugal, Turkey or China, chosen per piece for the best make.
Across more than 500 verified reviews ETQ holds 4.6 out of 5, and the Essence Chino is one of our most repeat-purchased trousers, part of a community of more than 250,000 customers.
The range, by how you'll actually wear it
Essence Chino. The core chino in Cotton Twill, our best-stocked everyday trouser, in muted tonal shades.
Straight and slim cuts. Pick the leg that suits you; both share the same cloth and finish.
How to wear them
A chino is the easiest smart-casual trouser to own. Wear it with a heavyweight tee and sneakers for everyday, or a tailored polo and suede loafers for the office. The tonal shades are easy to build around; layer a knit or overshirt as it cools. For a cleaner, more tailored trouser see the Essence trouser.
Fabric and fit
We choose fabrics to last. The Essence Chino is a structured Cotton Twill, breathable and durable, with a clean line. Across the wider range we favour natural cotton, usually with a little elastane for comfort and movement, and reserve engineered performance fabrics for the pieces that benefit from them. Offered in straight and slim; most customers find them true to size.
Care
Machine wash cool with like colours, reshape and hang or tumble on low, and use a warm iron if you want a sharper line. Exact care is on every product page.

How to measure
Let’s find your perfect fit. Place a sheet of paper on the floor against the wall and put your feet (with socks) on it, heels against the wall. Make sure you lean on your feet with full power when measuring. Now you simply draw a line at the end of the biggest foot. Measure the distance with a ruler and find the size that matches it: see size table. Are you in between sizes? In that case, we suggest taking the bigger size.
Mediterranean Suede
Refined in style, matt in color. The ultra-soft suede leather is sanded and feels velvety soft. It is crafted from the inside layer of the leather hide. Mediterranean leather is the delicate choice.
Premium Suede
Experience unparalleled luxury. It's made of the finest selection of hides and superior finishing techniques. It is valued for its softness, flexibility, and ability to lend a sophisticated look. Our premium suede shoes need no lining, just one layer of leather. It wears like a second skin.
Nappa Leather
Soft. Smooth. Nappa leather makes extremely comfortable shoes. The leather is obtained from tanning animal hides. It is characterized by a fine grain and a smooth finish. It feels simply sophisticated.
Nubuck Leather
Premium nubuck: the best of the best. Exclusive leather that we sanded rough on the outside grain part of the hide, giving it a velvety butter-soft surface. It offers utmost suppleness.
Full Grain Leather
Full grain leather is naturally firmer and more durable as it is produced by retaining the top layer of the hide. Its appearance is natural, authentic, and robust. You are still able to see the grains. It looks just like the grains on your skin. We never sanded, buffed, or snuffed it, so this leather is super strong.
French Terry
Tès Chique. French terry is a knit characterized by its unique looped-back construction. One side is smooth, and the other side is textured with loops of thread. It is known for its comfort, breathability, and moisture-proof properties. French terry is available as lightweight or heavyweight.
Punti di Roma
Wrinkle-resistant, soft like a baby, and slightly elastic. This is Italian quality, knitted to perfection. Punti Di Roma has a heavy, rich quality as the stitches interlock on both sides of the fabric. The best part: it’s recovery properties. This fabric stays in shape. And so will you.
Bamboo
Bamboo fibers are derived from the pulp of bamboo plants. Bamboo knits are soft and breathable. Moisture wicking? Yes. Ideal for socks.
American Fleece
Comfort meets durability in our American Fleece. This fabric is made from a blend of premium cotton and synthetic fibers, providing a soft yet resilient texture. Known for its exceptional warmth and insulation, American Fleece is perfect for layering or wearing on its own. Its slightly brushed surface creates a plush, cozy feel, making it ideal for cooler climates. Despite its softness, this fleece is highly durable and resistant to pilling, ensuring it maintains its luxurious feel wear after wear. A staple in athleisure and casualwear, American Fleece offers the perfect balance of comfort and performance.

Piqué Knit
A true classic in fabric craftsmanship, piqué knit is renowned for its unique textured surface, characterized by a subtle waffle or honeycomb pattern. Originally developed for sportswear, piqué knit has evolved into a sophisticated fabric that balances structure with breathability. The weave creates tiny raised patterns, adding a tactile dimension while allowing air to flow easily, making it perfect for all-season wear.
Soft yet durable, piqué knit is frequently used in polo shirts and garments that require a balance between casual and formal. It drapes beautifully while maintaining a slight stretch, offering comfort without losing its shape. Known for its ability to hold its form and resist wrinkling, this fabric is an excellent choice for those who value a polished look with minimal maintenance.
Mercerized Cotton
Mercerized cotton is the epitome of luxury in cotton fabrics. Through a special finishing process, the cotton fibers are treated to enhance their natural properties, resulting in a fabric that is smoother, stronger, and more lustrous. The mercerization process not only strengthens the fibers but also gives the cotton a subtle sheen that adds an elevated, polished look to the material.
What sets mercerized cotton apart is its ability to hold dye exceptionally well, resulting in vibrant, rich colors that resist fading over time. It’s smoother to the touch than regular cotton, offering a silk-like feel without sacrificing breathability. This fabric is durable, resists shrinking, and maintains its shape, making it ideal for garments that combine sophistication with everyday wearability.
At ETQ, our mercerized cotton shirts offer a refined, elegant look with the comfort and practicality of cotton. It’s the perfect choice for those who appreciate understated luxury and long-lasting quality in their wardrobe essentials.
Twill Fabric – Iron Free
Twill fabric is a durable, structured material characterized by its diagonal weave pattern, offering a distinct texture and visual depth. Known for its strength and versatility, twill is used in garments that require a bit more durability while maintaining a polished, professional look. The diagonal weave provides natural wrinkle resistance, making it an excellent choice for both casual and formal attire.
What sets our Iron-Free Twill apart is its advanced treatment that ensures a smooth, crisp appearance straight out of the wash, eliminating the need for ironing. This fabric is designed to stay sharp and maintain its form throughout the day, providing an effortlessly polished look with minimal effort. Its ability to resist creasing and maintain its structure makes it ideal for busy professionals or frequent travelers who need their clothing to perform as well as they do.
