Everlane vs Abercrombie & Fitch: which chino wins?
Both land in the mid tier — the Everlane The Performance Chino at $68, the Abercrombie & Fitch Abercrombie & Fitch Athletic Chino at $70, just $2 apart. Here's how they stack up, head to head.
| Everlane | Abercrombie & Fitch | |
|---|---|---|
| Price | $68 | $70 |
| Material | Cotton-blend with four-way stretch and a wrinkle-resistant finish. | Stretch cotton twill with a small percentage of elastane, woven for a smooth face and moderate weight that holds a press better than lighter casual chinos. |
| Fit | Clean modern slim or straight cuts, true to size. | Mid rise with athletic, slim, and skinny blocks; the athletic versions give room through the seat and quad before tapering, while skinny cuts run close through the whole leg. |
| Quality | Solid — comfortable stretch, wrinkle-resistant, clean construction; reads slightly synthetic to cotton purists. | Finishing is tidy with clean topstitching and reinforced pocket bags. The stretch recovers well in regular wear, though the lighter weight is more office-casual than hard-wearing. |
| Best for | Travel, all-day comfort, clean smart-casual wear, and anyone who wants a low-maintenance chino. | Guys who want a fitted, slightly polished chino in athletic or slim cuts for work and going out. |
| Care | Cold wash and tumble low or hang; the wrinkle-resistant finish means little ironing. | Machine wash cold inside out and hang or tumble dry low to protect the stretch and color. |
