Product Overview
The Brook Taverner Leo Classic Fit Chino is a well-engineered garment designed for professionals who require a polished appearance without the restrictive feel of traditional formal trousers. Crafted by Brook Taverner, a brand synonymous with quality tailoring, these chinos offer a timeless silhouette that bridges the gap between smart-casual and professional workwear.
Key Features
- Classic Fit: Provides a traditional, comfortable silhouette that allows for ease of movement throughout the working day without being overly baggy or restrictive.
- Side Pockets: Generously sized for daily essentials, ensuring your tools or personal items are always within reach.
- Rear Welt Pocket: Adds a sophisticated finish while providing secure storage for smaller items such as business cards or wallets.
- Integrated Belt Loops: Designed to accommodate standard work belts, allowing for a secure fit and the option to add a professional leather accessory.
- Machine Washable Fabric: Ensures that maintaining a clean, professional appearance is straightforward and doesn't require specialised cleaning services.
Design & Performance
The performance of the Leo Chino lies in its thoughtful fabric composition. By blending 97% cotton with 3% elastane, Brook Taverner has created a trouser that provides the natural breathability and soft handle of cotton, complemented by just enough stretch to ensure comfort when seated or moving between sites. This medium-weight fabric is substantial enough to withstand regular wear while remaining light enough for indoor comfort.
The classic fit is meticulously cut to provide a professional profile. For those concerned with specific dimensions, the half-hem width for a 34" waist measures 21.5cm, offering a balanced taper that sits neatly over various types of professional footwear.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
At MyWorkwear, we understand that a uniform is an extension of your brand identity. These chinos are an excellent canvas for customisation. We recommend embroidery for a sophisticated, professional look; a small company logo or employee name placed near the pocket provides a subtle but effective branding opportunity.
While print is also an option for bolder designs, embroidery generally offers a more durable finish that stands up well to frequent laundering. Our expert team in Telford has been handling these technical processes since 1976, ensuring your logo is rendered with precision and high-quality thread.
Use Cases
These trousers are an ideal choice for front-of-house staff, hospitality management, and corporate office teams. They are equally suited to tradespeople who need to transition from a site visit to a client meeting without changing their attire. The Navy colourway and classic styling make them a versatile staple for any modern professional wardrobe.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, consider that the inclusion of elastane provides a small amount of 'give' at the waist and thighs. For a cohesive team look, these chinos pair exceptionally well with a tucked-in oxford shirt or a high-quality polo shirt. If you are between sizes, the classic fit generally allows for a more forgiving wear than slim-fit alternatives.
Caring for your product
To maintain the structural integrity and colour of your chinos, we recommend adhering strictly to the machine wash instructions. Washing at the recommended temperature ensures that the cotton fibres do not shrink prematurely and that the elastane retains its elastic properties.
Avoid the use of harsh bleaching agents, as these will degrade the fabric strength and cause the Navy dye to fade unevenly. When drying, it is best to avoid high heat settings to prevent the elastane from becoming brittle, which would eventually lead to a loss of shape in the garment.
