The Athletic Lived-In Chino is Banana Republic Factory's relaxed-tapered chino, cut with extra room through the seat and thigh and a narrower leg. It is made from soft washed cotton with a button closure, zip fly, belt loops, off-seam front pockets and button-through back welt pockets. The wash treatment gives it a broken-in feel from the first wear, and it is part of the Washwell water-saving program. It suits men who find slim chinos too tight in the thigh but still want a clean, tapered look.
