HISTORY AND DEFINITION OF MEN'S PANTS

Etymologically, 'trousers' is a Gallicism, which in turn is derived from

Italian term "pantalone". In Italian, the word "pantalone" comes from
of 'Pantaleone' who is a character from the Commedia dell’arte.

Pantaleone characterized an old and miserly Venetian, who wore some

long pants.

Ultimately it could come from the Greek παvτελεήμων (panteleemon), or

sea, "the one who has compassion for all"

The Venetians were very devoted to Saint Pantaleon of Nicomedia (Izmit, Turkey) who had
became the physician of the emperors Maximinus and Galerius at the end of the 3rd century.

He was martyred in 305 and his veneration spread among the eastern churches of Christianity.
where he enjoyed great popularity as a miracle-working saint, patron of medicine and
obstetrics and healer of the tuberculous and the lame.

The Venetians, who in the Middle Ages had the Mediterranean monopoly of
trade from the Levant, introduced their worship in the Roman church, and distributed
everywhere her supposed relics, which were the coveted object of
real transactions and gifts: Vials of his blood are in Istanbul,
Ravello (Salerno, Campania), Montauro (Catanzaro, Calabria), the hermitage of San
Pantaleón de Losa (Burgos, Old Castile) and Madrid (Monastery of the
Incarnation), each of which performs the miracle of liquefaction in its
due time (the blood of the ampoule in Madrid liquefies the eve of the saint's day, every 27)
of July). His head ended up in Lyon, and his bones are in many places, from the
Mausoleum of the Kings of France in the Basilica of San
Dionysius (Saint Denis) of Paris, up to the church of San Pantalón in the Matadero neighborhood.
Buenos Aires, and they couldn't be missing in Venice at the church of San 'Pantalon' (that's how it's said in dialect)
Venetian San Pantaleone.

The Venetians who were devoted to Saint Pantaleone identified them throughout Italy as
wearers of the characteristic dress of Turquoise origin, the long trousers that the
character from the Commedia dell' Arte (which we recall is not of Venetian origin but
Bergamasque) called Don Pantaleone, a caricature of the Venetians, whom colloquially
they were called pantaloni (pants). This was the reason that, when, after the Revolution
In France, the use of short pants (the so-called 'culottes') was abandoned in favor of long pants.
first they were called 'sansculottes', literally 'without short trousers', then everyone in
Europe and America - this pair of underwear is called pants.

According to a popular etymology, it comes from piantaleone, which means plant-león (lion plant),
let's remember that the lion (Saint Mark) is the symbol of Venice, therefore pianta leone wants
to say Venetian plant.

Currently we can define the pants as: garment ofto dressthat fits at the waist and
generally reaches the foot, covering each leg separately (unlike
theskirts).
It is made with different materialscottondenimpolyesterbrotheretc.) has three
openings; one of them adjusts at the waist and the other two on each leg. The

TYPES OF PANTS!

There are countless types of alternative pants for men, just as comfortable as the
jeans with which you can stand out your look, that's why we reveal to you which ones
they are, and above all, how and where to use them.

CHINOPANTS

The perfect alternative to jeans is chinos, so named for the type of

fabric with which they were traditionally made, a very dense cotton imported from
China. The most common color for this type of garment is khaki, although, as of today,
the range of options available in stores is unlimited and you can customize yourself
with one in navy blue, in black or in any shade of the earth tones.
To choose your perfect chinos, we recommend that you pay attention to three aspects.
first, that they have a five-pocket silhouette; the second, that the leg does not
narrow, that is to say, that they are not skinny but, above all, that you bet on a fabric like the
mercerized cotton that will provide you with greater durability and a special 'drape.'
