Denmark Students Leading the Country in Collecting Jeans for Teens - WBAY

Posted: 26 Feb 2020 01:23 PM PST

DENMARK, Wis. (WBAY) - A national, month-long campaign to collect jeans for homeless teens is down to its final days.

And right now, two Denmark High School seniors are leading the country in the "Teens for Jeans" program.

Denmark seniors Madison DeGrand and Sarah Goral are making the rounds in their community, entering businesses like Main Street Market and coming out with bags of jeans.

"When this opportunity came about and we knew that we're going to see the effects of actually delivering the pants to places, it just went off in my head like this is a no-brainer, I have to help," says Goral.

When a teacher assigned a project to help the community, Goral and DeGrand came across the "Teens for Jeans" campaign sponsored by DoSomething.org and Aeropostale during the month of February.

"They talk about how over half the homeless people are under the age of 18 and that's just insane to think kids our age don't get to go to school, don't get to have a roof over their heads and jeans that they can wear every day," says Goral.

So the girls got busy, placing posters and collection boxes throughout Denmark.

"We have boxes in the high school front entrance, the new atrium, Main Street Market, Denmark State Bank and All Saints Church," says DeGrand.

So far, the two students have collected nearly 500 jeans and 200 pairs of pants.

"All the jeans specifically are going to Aeropostale, which they will sent out to nationwide homeless shelters and because they're not collecting pants, any other pants that we find Sarah and I are going to personally bring to Green Bay's homeless shelters," says DeGrand.

The school that collects the most jeans will receive a $10,000 grant, and with just a few days to go, DeGrand and Goral are number one in the country.

10 Great Chinos to Replace Your Jeans - gearpatrol.com

Posted: 26 Feb 2020 06:22 AM PST

Chinos have been around for over 170 years. That's longer than blue jeans. Originally known as khakis, a Hindustani reference to the sandy-colored cotton twill fabric, chinos as a term began to take hold during the Spanish-American War in the late 1800s. It's derived from the Spanish word for 'Chinese' and is a shortened version of chinos pantalones or 'Chinese pants'.

They originally featured slanted or on-seam side pockets, belt loops and a wide fit, and were introduced to militaries around the world before making their way to civilian society. Today every brand has a version of its own, from the ubiquitous and affordable to the esoteric.

When we're not wearing jeans, we're wearing chinos. The understudy to the classic blue jean may get more shine than actual understudies and may even outdo the star on occasion. It's about as versatile and certainly as classic, so here are our picks for the best chinos out there right now.

Dickies 874 Work Pant

Admittedly built and marketed as a work pant, the Dickies 874 is the brand's quintessential pant. But don't let its rough-and-ready connotation limit you. It's made of tough, wrinkle-resistant poly-cotton twill in a classic straight fit and comes with a flat front and creased leg for a dressy appearance. The 874 will stand up to skating, manual labor and whatever outfit you have in mind for the day.

J.Crew 484 Slim-Fit Pant in Stretch Chino

The upgrade to the 484 from the 874 is more than just numbers. J.Crew's popular Stretch Chino goes a few steps further in quality with a lined waistband and chambray binding at the seams. Also, they come in the full spectrum of colors.

Stan Ray Easy Chino

Stan Ray's been making tough goods like chore coats and fatigue pants in the U.S. since the 1970s. Its version of the chino brings the same level of quality with all-cotton twill and a tapered fit.

Gramicci NN Trouser

Who says chinos couldn't work for mountain climbing? Gramicci's bouldering-friendly entry features strategically placed gussets, a flexible waist with an included nylon webbing belt and velcro rear pockets.

Bill's Khakis M2P Classic Fit Pleated Vintage Twill

Bill's Khakis makes some damn fine khakis. It's in the name after all. Designed with a double pleat for the brave/old school, 7.5-ounce cotton twill and Stateside production, Bill's, unlike many chinos, are cut like dress trousers, meaning you can get them altered easily.

Officine Generale Italian Cotton Pleated Chino Pants

Officine Generale's entry elegantly balances dress and casual with a pleated front, creased leg, relaxed fit and self-fabric belt.

Polo Ralph Lauren Iconic GI Khaki Chino

Though more subtle, chinos can patina really nicely, another reason to love the classic trouser. Ralph Lauren's beat-up version may not be an actual vintage pair, but you get a pretty good idea without having to hunt through flea markets or wear a pair in for yourself.

The Armoury Selvedge Twill Cotton Army Chinos

Or, you can really try and wear them in your damn self. From premier tailoring retailer, The Armoury, its in-house trousers are made in the same US factory that still produces chinos for the military. Paired with Japanese selvedge twill fabric that's sturdy and primed for patina, bound seams, a button fly, a garment wash for the slightest head start on break-in, you'll want to enlist these into your rotation.

Cushman Lot 22040 8oz Denim Pant

Denim in chino form, you can have your cake and eat it too with Japanese repro brand Cushman. These trousers come in a wide-leg 1940s fit with classic chino details but a familiar indigo denim fabric.

Bode Ladder Hem Side-Tie Trousers

Bode's known for exalting vintage and antique fabrics to modern appeal. These trousers use one-of-a-kind antique French linens and include rakish side ties and a ladder-stitched hem for a little extra spice.
