A twill fabric cloth, originally made in China, was used to make English and French military uniforms starting in the late 19th century. For Spanish speakers they were known as pantalones chinos (Chinese pants), which became shortened to simply "chinos" in English. Hence the cloth used to make these trousers is chino cloth. Washing a pair of chinos with a paper bag containing candy in the pocket is not a good idea!
