Product Insights
Djab's Brushed Twill Pleated Chinos in the Malasaña Fit - Barrel, priced at 79 CAD, provide a warmer, softer alternative to standard twill, with a brushed finish that gives the fabric a sueded hand and fluid drape, reinforcing the barrel leg's slouchy silhouette; the faded character deepens with age, but the raised nap makes piling a tradeoff that requires cold delicate wash and low heat dry to preserve the garment's evolving worn-in look.
Verified claims
- Warmth
- Warmer than unbrushed twill; not for hot, humid weather.
- Drape
- Brushing softens the fabric, giving the barrel leg a fluid, cozy drape.
- Texture
- Brushed finish creates a sueded, soft hand and enables a fluid, relaxed drape.
- Pilling
- Raised nap makes fabric prone to pilling; gentle washing is recommended to extend life.
- Fabric aging
- The brushed twill ages into a deeper worn-in look and requires gentle care.
- Fade
- The faded finish is ground into the nap fibers and deepens with age, though pilling can alter surface uniformity.
- Design character
- The brushed twill's soft drape reinforces the barrel leg's slouchy silhouette.
- Care
- Cold delicate wash, low heat dry, and no bleach help minimize shrinkage and pilling.
- Colorway fit consistency
- One buyer found the khaki version thinner and larger in the waist than the black Malasaña in the same size, with too much material and none of the form-fitting feel of the black pair.
- Comfort
- At least one buyer found these chinos super comfortable, though they returned them because they did not like how the pants looked on them.

| Brushed Twill Pleated Chinos Malasaña Fit - Barrel: Choose this if you want a baggy, mid-rise silhouette with a rounded leg and slim ankle, shaped by double front pleats and a slightly faded finish. The brushed, non-stretch twill is made of 100% recycled cotton with an elasticated back waistband, slant hand pockets, back welt pockets, and a button closure with zipper fly. Note that the fabric has no stretch, so comfort relies on the roomy cut and elastic back rather than give in the material.[1] | Pleated Thick Twill Pant Barrel Fit Imported From Seoul: Choose this if you want a high-waisted, loose barrel-leg pant with single front pleats in a heavyweight 100% cotton twill that has a fine diagonal ribbed texture and a matte finish. The elasticated back waistband, zip fly with hook closure, slant hand pockets, and back welt pockets support everyday wear, and it comes in four colors (Black, Ecru/Linen, Chocolate/Espresso, and Navy/Midnight Blue) across five sizes from X-Small to X-Large. Note that on the model the full-length hems pool over the shoes, so the length may read long depending on your height and footwear.[2,3,4,5] | Heavy Twill Pleated Pant Baggy Fit Imported From Seoul: Choose this if you want a baggy, wide-leg pant with a drop crotch, single front pleats, and a high waistband cut in a heavyweight 100% cotton twill that reads structured rather than drapey. It comes in Black or Sand in SMALL, MEDIUM, and LARGE, with a zip fly and button closure, five pockets, straight uncuffed full-length hems, and a silver metal chain accessory clipped at the right front waist. It is imported from Seoul and positioned as exclusive to Djab, so it suits shoppers seeking that specific oversized, pleated silhouette rather than a relaxed drape.[6,7,8,9] |

Different fit than the black Malasana
Was hoping to get this in addition to the black Malasana, which is closer to a regular denim feel. Same size, but this khaki-colour was a thinner material that was also much larger in the waist. Too much material, didn't feel good or look form-fitting at all. Like wearing a sail.
I love them, but they’re not for me.
Super comfortable. But I looked strange in them. Loved the colour. Sent them back. I hope they work better for you.
