The Gypsy & Sons M52 French Army Ventile Chino sees the brand bring two icons of heritage clothing together. The cut of the chino is heavily inspired by the vintage M52 trouser but with Gypsy & Sons’s own tailored twist, including inside-out pleats and an inner thigh gusset for comfort. The star of the show here is Ventile cotton. Originally developed during WWII for use by the RAF, and famous for being worn during the first Western ascent of Everest, Ventile’s dense 100% cotton weave is effective at repelling water and wind, whilst staying breathable.
Expect no further shrinkage wish washing. The inseam measurements appear shorter because of the higher rise on these pants. We recommend taking the size closest to your normal waist size. Compare the measurements below with chinos you own to get the perfect fit. Find out how we measure.

Gypsy & Sons is a hidden gem from Japan and a brand that we’re delighted to add to the Those That Know roster. Founded by Yoshichika Kato in 2016, the pieces Gypsy & Sons produce focus on combining function with heritage style to create clothes for modern life.
The brand uses the expertise of small Japanese workshops and the skills of the craftspeople who work in them to incorporate specialist processes and techniques into their clothes, giving them vintage feel.
With their new takes on classic styles, Gypsy & Sons clothing strikes a balance between work and dress, with influences ranging from Americana, US military garments, mid-20th century workwear and sportswear. We’re excited to share this brand with our customers over the coming seasons.
Due to the water resistant properties of Ventile, we recommend washing these chinos separately. Machine washing is fine, on a cool or 30 degree cycle. Do not tumble dry.
