The black version shown has a matte, tightly woven twill finish and a straight leg that falls cleanly to the top of dress shoes.

Product Insights
The Polo Ralph Lauren Bedford Chinos Straight Fit offer a timeless, low-maintenance solution for a polished look: their brushed cotton-spandex blend provides a matte, wrinkle-resistant finish that machine washes without ironing, while the straight cut and stretch construction prevent bunching and maintain a clean crease all day. However, the peachskin finish and brushing reduce breathability, making them feel warmer in hot weather—a tradeoff for their plush texture and effortless care.
Verified claims
- Rise
- 8.75-inch front rise on size 32, sitting low on the hips.
- Leg opening
- 15.5-inch leg opening on size 32, genuine straight cut from hip to hem.
- Fit
- Direct successor to Slim GI, Cooper, SPW, and Varick, with added stretch.
- Comfort
- 2% spandex prevents lap bunching and maintains a clean crease all day.
- Hand feel
- The peachskin finish gives a plush, velvety hand, and the 2% spandex blend stretches comfortably with no break-in period.
- Appearance
- The brushed peachskin finish gives a matte, wrinkle-resistant appearance, and the chinos are machine washable.
- Drape
- Buyers say the fabric hangs straight without bunching when seated.
- Breathability
- The peachskin brushing slightly reduces breathability compared to standard cotton chinos because it partially closes the weave.
- Wrinkle resistance
- Buyers report the brushed cotton resists wrinkles fresh from packaging and all day.
- Care
- Buyers confirm machine-washable care with no ironing, saving time and dry-cleaning costs.
- Material
- 98% cotton, 2% spandex provides a cotton-rich alternative to synthetic-heavy chinos.
- Peachskin finish
- Peachskin finish provides soft matte texture, wrinkle resistance, better drape, but slightly less breathability.
- Brand heritage
- Chinos are a core Polo preppy staple with enduring brand value.
- Low maintenance
- Wrinkle-free from packaging and dryer; machine washable, no ironing needed.
- Style longevity
- Timeless straight fit and staple brand maintain style and resale value.
- All-day comfort
- Zappos reviewers describe the Bedford chinos as the most comfortable chino ever and comfortable enough for all-day wear.
- Cross-brand straight fit
- The Bedford's 15.5-inch leg opening on size 32 lands between J.Crew's 770 Straight (15 inches) and Broken-in Straight (16 inches), making it a classic straight cut without taper.
- Rise comparison
- At 8.75 inches, the Bedford's front rise is more than two inches lower than J.Crew's 770 Straight (11 inches), sitting below the natural waist.
- Fit line options
- The Bedford name also appears in a Classic Fit with a 10-inch rise and 17-inch leg opening, giving Polo's chino range a roomier alternative to the Straight Fit.
- Care instructions
- The manufacturer's care instructions specify machine wash cold and tumble dry medium, with no special care required for the spandex and peachskin finish.
- Peachskin durability
- The peachskin nap does not rinse out but flattens and sheds slightly over the first several washes, especially with heavy tumble drying, so the plush feel is strongest when new.

Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Bedford Chinos Straight Fit: Choose this if you want a straight classic-fit chino in stretch cotton (98% cotton, 2% spandex) with a peachskin feel, offered in Black, Light Brown, and Indigo/Dark Blue from sizes 30 to 38. Reviewers and the retailer describe it as a neat option for business-casual office wear and weekend gatherings, with quality material, clean finishing, and reported all-day comfort including minimal wrinkling and no bunching in the lap when sitting. One reviewer did report receiving a longer inseam than ordered when buying online without trying the chinos on, so sizing warrants care.[1,2] | Varick Coffee Jean Straight, Slim Fit: Choose this if you want a straight, slim-fit jean in a brown garment-dyed hue, made from 98% cotton and 2% spandex stretch cotton described as ultra comfortable. It comes in a classic five-pocket design with metal rivets and button hardware, a cow-leather patch, and sizes 30 to 36 in Brown only, so it suits shoppers specifically after a brown rather than traditional blue wash.[3,4] | The Hampton Faded-Blue Jean Straight Fit: Choose this if you want a relaxed straight jean with extra room through the thigh, a straight leg with minimal tapering, and a waist that sits slightly below the natural waist. It is made of 98% cotton and 2% spandex stretch denim in a faded medium blue with deliberate whiskering at the thighs and knees, plus a five-pocket layout, classic zip fly with signature shank closure, and golden contrast topstitching. Note that its ultra-comfortable feel is a merchant description rather than a reported wearer experience.[5,6,7,8,9] |

****Pantalon Polo Ralph Laurent ****
Pantalon fait robuste de style classique avec une touche contemporain.
terrible sizing
I ordered a pair size 32, and for some reason they sent 32 waist, and 34 length.
