Some years, or maybe many meanwhile, I had no problems to find chinos that look very casual and rugged almost the same level of jeans. I mostly wore chinos from Dockers, my favorite model was the Alpha from Dockers.

However much has changed to my demise. There is still a model called Alpha by Dockers, but it's like worlds apart, same name different planet.

And wherever I search, I only manage to find chinos that look too formal, almost or even just like suit trousers.

Am I hallucinating or did it really changed that much and are there still normal casual almost jeans-tier chinos somewhere out there?
