What's the difference between denim and chino fabric anyway?
This is definitely a stupid question, but it's pretty hard to find a satisfying answer online. They're both twill cotton fabric. There's all this "lore" (for lack of better term) around denim, like "Japanese raw selvedge denim", that you don't really see with chino fabric. Could people theoretically do the same with chinos? The only difference I see is that chino fabric is somehow more lightweight, but I don't understand why.
