TOYS McCOY

These men's khaki chino trousers are made in Japan by TOYS McCOY as a reproduction of the screen costume worn by Steve McQueen as Captain Virgil Hilts in The Great Escape. The design takes U.S. military chino trousers as its foundation while focusing specifically on the slimmer proportions, distinctive cut, and details of the trousers prepared for McQueen's appearance in the film. Unlike the roomier, utility-oriented silhouettes commonly associated with U.S. military chino trousers of the World War II era, the trousers seen on McQueen in the film are said to have been modified at his request for a cleaner, more streamlined appearance. For this reason, this model is not intended as a direct reproduction of a particular period-issued military specification. Instead, it recreates the screen costume itself, which was based on U.S. military chinos but altered to suit McQueen's preferred silhouette and the visual requirements of the film. TOYS McCOY has reconstructed these characteristics in a modern reproduction by considering the differences in silhouette from conventional military chinos, together with the texture and khaki tone of the fabric, button-fly front, pocket construction, and other period-inspired details. The flat front, mid rise, and slim straight legs combine the distinctive character of McQueen's screen-worn trousers with the practical construction of classic chino trousers, resulting in a style that remains highly wearable for contemporary casual use.

Size and Fit Guide:

Gender: Men.

Our model is wearing a tagged size 30. He is 5'9" (175 cm) tall, weighs approximately 130 lbs (59 kg), and has a chest measurement of approximately 36" (91 cm). His usual jeans size is 29.

Fit: These trousers have a slim straight fit, a standard mid rise, a flat front without pleats, and a button-fly closure. The seat and thighs have a more streamlined shape than traditional wide military chinos, while retaining room for everyday movement. The legs narrow very gently from the knees to the hems, maintaining a natural straight-leg appearance without a pronounced taper. The fabric has been one-washed to reduce initial shrinkage and ease its initial stiffness.

The actual waist measurements tend to run smaller than the tagged sizes suggest. If you prefer a little extra room at the waist, you may wish to consider one tagged size up as a starting point. Because the rise and waistband position affect how trousers fit, please measure a similar pair of chino pants that fits you well and compare the waist, front rise, thigh, and leg opening measurements before choosing your size.

Available sizes: 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 36, and 38.

[Approximate Size Reference]

The waist references below indicate the approximate usual waist size associated with each tagged size for this model. They are intended as general size-selection guides and should not be confused with the actual garment measurements shown in the following charts.

- Tagged Size 29 (Waist: 28")
- Tagged Size 30 (Waist: 29")
- Tagged Size 31 (Waist: 30")
- Tagged Size 32 (Waist: 31")
- Tagged Size 33 (Waist: 32")
- Tagged Size 34 (Waist: 33")
- Tagged Size 36 (Waist: 35")
- Tagged Size 38 (Waist: 37")

Tagged sizes are the manufacturer's size labels and do not necessarily match either the measured waist of the garment or your usual jeans size. The suggestion to consider one size up is only a general guide based on this model's smaller waist measurements. The most suitable size will also depend on the overall cut, where you wear the waistband, and your preferred amount of room. Please use the actual garment measurements below as your primary reference.

[Actual Garment Measurements]

The measurements below are taken from the trousers themselves, not from the wearer's body. The waist measurement is the flat waistband width multiplied by two. Thigh and leg opening measurements are the flat widths of one leg and are not circumference measurements. Inch values are converted from the listed centimeter measurements and rounded to one decimal place.

For the most useful comparison, please lay a similar pair of chino pants that fits you well flat, measure it using the methods below, and compare those measurements with the size charts. Please consider the waist, rise, and leg proportions together rather than relying on the tagged size alone.

[How We Measure the Actual Garment]

The garment is laid flat, face up, and measured by hand with a measuring tape.

Waist: Measure straight across the top of the waistband from side to side, then double that measurement to obtain the full waist measurement.

Inseam: Measure from the crotch seam down to the bottom of the leg along the inside seam.

Front Rise: Measure straight from the crotch seam, where the inseams meet, up to the top edge of the front waistband.

Thigh: Measure the width of one leg approximately 3 cm (1.2") below the crotch seam, straight across from one side to the other.

Leg Opening: Measure straight across the bottom hem of one leg from one side to the other. This is the flat width of the opening.

Please note that the measured waist should not be treated as a direct equivalent of your usual tagged waist size. The rise, cut, fabric character, and position of the waistband can all affect the fit. Individual garments may also vary slightly as a result of the fabric and one-wash finishing process. Although the initial shrinkage has been reduced, a small amount of additional shrinkage may occur depending on washing and drying conditions.

The "WAIST 32" and "INSEAM 31" markings on the interior costume label reproduce sizing associated with Steve McQueen's trousers. They do not indicate the tagged size or actual measurements of the pair you are purchasing.

Made in Japan.
Brand new, in unused condition. The garment has been one-washed as part of the finishing process.
- All measurements are taken by hand with the garment laid flat.
- Slight differences may occur between individual garments and measuring methods.
- Actual color may differ slightly from the photographs due to lighting and display settings.

Steve McQueen V. Hilts Screen-Costume Reproduction
These trousers reproduce the khaki pants worn by Steve McQueen in his role as Captain Virgil Hilts in The Great Escape. The costume trousers are said to have been altered at McQueen's request to create slimmer, cleaner proportions than the practical, wider silhouettes commonly associated with World War II U.S. military chinos.

The reproduction focuses on that modified screen costume rather than a single military-issued trouser pattern or a specific military specification. TOYS McCOY brings together the distinctive silhouette, closely woven fabric, subdued khaki color, button fly, pocket construction, and interior costume markings to reproduce the character of the trousers seen in the film.

Flat Front, Mid Rise, and Slim Straight Legs
The front is cut without pleats, keeping the fabric relatively flat across the upper front. A standard mid rise places the waistband neither unusually low nor especially high. The seat and thighs are shaped with less volume than traditional wide military chinos, creating a slimmer profile through the upper legs.

From the knees to the hems, the legs narrow only very gently. This slight reduction in width preserves a natural straight-leg line instead of producing a strongly tapered leg opening. The cut retains space for normal movement and is not intended to fit closely against the body like a skinny silhouette.

The resulting balance reflects the streamlined proportions of the film costume while retaining the practical ease of everyday trousers. The flat front and restrained leg shape allow the texture and color of the chino cloth to remain central to the overall appearance.

12.5 oz. 100% Cotton Chino Twill
The main fabric is 12.5 oz. chino cloth woven from 100% cotton. Its twill structure produces fine diagonal ribs across the surface. These closely spaced ribs are combined with a dense weave, giving the fabric a compact feel and a noticeable degree of body and resilience.

The cloth has enough firmness to support the shape of the trousers while remaining supple enough to bend with the wearer. This balance of structure and flexibility preserves the practical character of military-style chinos without making the fabric feel uniformly rigid.

The light, subdued khaki shade reflects the appearance of the movie costume. Fine twill definition and a closely woven surface give the fabric a clean appearance while retaining the substantial character of military trouser cloth. It is neither an extremely thin fabric nor a thick winter-specific cloth, making it suitable for casual wear across an extended portion of the year.

One-Wash Finish and Changes Through Wear
The trousers receive a one-wash treatment during finishing. Washing relaxes some of the initial stiffness of the densely woven chino cloth, making it easier to wear from the beginning while preserving the fabric's underlying body.

Because the garment has already been washed during production, the potential for substantial shrinkage after purchase is reduced compared with an unwashed garment. This does not mean the fabric is completely shrink-free. A small amount of further shrinkage may occur depending on the washing method and drying conditions.

With repeated wear and washing, the cotton fabric gradually becomes softer and more familiar to the wearer's movements. The fine twill surface also develops subtle changes in appearance as the cloth relaxes and is handled through everyday use.

Five-Button Fly with Four-Hole Urea Buttons
The front opening uses a traditional button fly comprising one top button at the waistband and four additional buttons inside the fly, for a total of five. The lower buttons are concealed within the fly construction when the trousers are fastened.

The buttons are made from urea resin and have four sewing holes. Their color coordinates with the khaki outer fabric, keeping the fastenings visually integrated with the trousers. The waistband button closes the top of the opening, while the four lower buttons secure the fly at successive points below it.

Separately Secured Buttonhole Sections
Below the top waistband buttonhole, the buttonhole side of the fly is secured with short stitches positioned between the individual buttonholes. These stitches divide the fly into separate sections, each containing one buttonhole.

This construction holds the fly layers together at intervals between the fastenings rather than leaving the entire buttonhole strip unsecured between its ends. The short securing stitches are a distinct construction detail within the concealed front opening.

Slanted Front Hand Pockets
The trousers have five pockets in total. Two hand pockets are positioned at the front, with their openings set at a diagonal on the left and right sides. The slanted entry follows a natural angle for inserting the hand.

The diagonal openings sit alongside the unpleated front, providing practical access without interrupting the overall flat-front arrangement. The pocket bags are contained inside the trousers.

Single-Welt Coin or Watch Pocket
A small horizontal pocket is set into the upper right front. Its opening is finished with a single welt, creating a narrow, defined edge at the entrance.

The compact pocket can be used for coins, a watch, or similarly small items. Its inset construction keeps the storage compartment inside the garment while presenting a discreet horizontal opening on the outside.

Single-Welt Inset Back Pockets
Two back pockets are positioned horizontally, one on each side of the rear. Each opening uses a single-welt construction, giving the pocket entrance a narrow, clearly defined finish.

The pocket bags are housed inside the trousers. Unlike an external patch pocket, this inset arrangement leaves only the welt and opening visible on the outside, maintaining a clean rear surface while providing accessible storage.

Off-White Cotton Drill Pocket Bags and Waistband Reinforcement
The front and rear pocket bags are made from off-white cotton drill with a tone close to natural ecru. Drill is a sturdy woven cotton fabric with a diagonal twill structure, making it a practical material for pocket interiors that repeatedly come into contact with hands and stored items.

The same off-white drill is used as reinforcement on the inside of the waistband. This additional fabric supports the inner waistband construction and creates a consistent interior finish alongside the pocket bags. Its lighter shade also distinguishes these internal components from the khaki outer cloth.

Interior Size Stamp and Costume Name Label
The inside of the waistband carries a size stamp and a costume name label. The label includes the wording "Toys McCoy Costume Co. Hollywood," Steve McQueen's name, and spaces for waist and inseam information.

These markings reproduce the name and sizing details associated with McQueen's trousers. Although hidden during normal wear, they reinforce the garment's identity as a reproduction of a film costume and extend that reference into the interior construction.

The entries "WAIST 32" and "INSEAM 31" are reproduced costume details associated with Steve McQueen's pants size. They are not the size designation or actual measurements of this garment. Please use the product's tagged size and the actual measurement charts when selecting your size.

Seven Belt Loops with an Offset Rear Loop
Seven relatively narrow belt loops are attached around the waistband. Their slim proportions keep the loops visually restrained while allowing a belt to be supported at multiple positions around the waist.

The loop near the center back is placed slightly to the left of the rear center seam. The rear seam and its allowances already create an area of overlapping fabric. Moving the loop away from that point is understood to avoid adding the loop's thickness directly over the existing layers, reflecting a practical approach to managing bulk during construction.

Tonal Stitching and Reinforced Attachment Points
The sewing thread is predominantly tonal, blending with the khaki fabric. Stitching around the pocket openings, fly, waistband, and belt loops defines these components without creating excessive contrast against the main cloth.

Reinforcement stitches are used at points that receive concentrated stress during wear and movement, including the ends of pocket openings and the attachment points of belt loops. These additional stitches support the areas where repeated pulling and handling place greater demands on the sewn construction.

Overlocked Inseam Allowances
Inside the legs, the edges of the inseam allowances are finished with overlock stitching. The stitches wrap around the exposed fabric edges to help contain the cut yarns and limit fraying.

This is an internal edge finish at the inseam. It keeps the seam allowances more securely contained in an area repeatedly exposed to movement and contact during wear.

Deep Turned Hems with Single-Row Stitching
At each leg opening, the main fabric is turned inward by a relatively generous amount and secured with a single row of stitching. The fold forms the finished lower edge, while the turned fabric remains inside the leg.

This construction adds a layer of the same chino cloth at the opening. The single row of stitching secures the turned portion to the leg while keeping the visible hem finish simple.

Made in Japan
These trousers are made in Japan as part of TOYS McCOY's reproduction of Steve McQueen's V. Hilts wardrobe. McQueen's screen clothing was shaped through adjustments to details such as shirt and jacket sleeve lengths and the width and balance of trousers, helping the costume suit both the character's movements and his appearance on screen.

This model brings that approach together through its slim straight silhouette, dense khaki chino twill, button fly, slanted front pockets, single-welt rear pockets, off-white interior components, and costume name label. The combination preserves the specific character of the film wardrobe within a practical pair of cotton chino trousers.
