Garment description

Khaki trousers were born in India in the 1840s when British soldiers started dyeing their uniforms “khaki” to match the terrain. It quickly became the de facto standard for military, and came to be called “chinos” during the Spanish American war of 1898. After the world war, chinos spread from military to Ivy League colleges to Hollywood, becoming a menswear staple. The versatility and adaptability of chinos, bridging the gap between beaten up denim and formal wool trousers, make it essential to everyone’s wardrobe.

Most chinos in the market do not do justice to its heritage and utilitarian nature. Many are made of wafer-thin fabrics that wrinkle fast. And the elastane, added for stretch, does not allow the chinos to naturally soften with age and develop character. These supermarket chinos are either skinny or baggy, rarely right. What we need is a middle-ground - chinos adapted to modern life while retaining its essential character.

We have designed the Hanoi to be true to its origin, but with an elevated style and a modern fit. Carefully crafted to perfection, the Hanoi is destined to become your favorite trousers. Clean-cut and minimalist in mid-to-heavy weight, all-cotton fabric. Garment-dyed and brushed for a luxurious, lived-in feel. Pair it with anything - a white tee, an untucked oxford, or your favorite polo. Throw a jacket over to add a touch of formality, or not. On and off the clock, indoors and outdoors, the Hanoi ticks all boxes.

Frequently asked questions

What if the garment doesn’t fit me?

We have a flat 90-day no-questions-asked return and remake policy, and we are dead serious about it. We want you to have a perfect fit, Period.

If you are not happy with your fit, we will happily remake/alter the garment again till you find it to your satisfaction. 

We’re sure you’ll be pleased with the quality of our product. However, if it fails to meet your expectations, you can request a complete refund, no questions asked.

We make sure that you run no risk in trying us out.

How are you different from other custom/bespoke/tailoring setups?

Most of the clothes you wear day to day, such as jeans, khakis, jackets, denim shirts, etc., are not available custom-made for you. The industrial processes of construction and washing garments are unavailable to the local tailors. 

Even brands that claim to be bespoke or custom will leave you wanting that “ready-to-wear” finish. Specialized stitches such as bar-tacking, chain-stitching, double-needle, and French seam are required to make sturdy, enduring garments only seen in industrial setups. A puckering on the stitches, softness of a brushed garment all needs industrial washers and machines. 

Ready-to-wear garments, on the other hand, make you compromise on fit.

We offer personalized fit within the constraints of the business model. We allow you to customize your order as long as it does not compromise the style and make each garment specifically for you. You get the best of both worlds - an industrial finish of ready-to-wear with the personalized fit of made-to-measure. We will pull out all the stops to get the fit right on your first purchase of each type of garment. Once you are satisfied, next time will be breezy, as we store your custom measurements for future purchases.

How long does it take once I place an order?

We don’t hold up ready-made inventory, only the raw materials. We start making the product only once you place an order and your measurements are confirmed. 

That means your perfect size & style are always in stock, and we don’t create waste. 

Once our team has created and confirmed your measurements, shipping your order takes 7-8 working days.

How do I retrieve my measurements from my previous order?

Your measurements are safe with us. We will automatically retrieve your saved measurements if you use the email address as your original order. 

You can also log in from the product page or from the menu to see your previous measurements listed. 

Once you place the order, our Made to Measure specialists always contact you to confirm your measurements.

Will my garment shrink after washing?

All our garments are pre-washed and 99% of the shrinkage is taken out before shipping. You can expect very minimal shrinkage on washing.

Impressed with the fabric quality and feel. Getting the fitting right is not easy unless you have a trouser with similar material. But they got it almost right in the 1st attempt.

Super craftsmanship, great fit using worldclass material!

The Devil is in the details

Ronnie on Mar 13, 2023

These guys definitely live up to their name. Right from the word go, they have been very methodical and professional in their customer centric approach. That's what made the final product a perfect pleasure to wear. The entire structure of the trousers, right from the fabric, to the stitching to the finer details were all well attended to. Have been importing chinos from Dockers USA for all these years but from now on will definitely order locally from these "Monks" who are methodically the best.

Top notch fabric and stitching quality

Pawan Kumar on Jun 09, 2023

Monk of method worked tirelessly to ensure that I have perfect fit pant. They remade my pant twice for fitting issues. Appreciate their ethics and customer orientation. My suggestion would be to have few designated tailors in major cities who can take measurement. Thanks
