India is the birth place of modern Polo, played by the nobles of that region and exposed to British Army officers in the mid-nineteenth century who brought this sport to Great Britain. As we know, polo is played outdoors during the summer months so it is normal to be exposed to high temperatures, this is why the players preferred to wear light clothing and light colors for matches, in a fight against the heat and the burning sun, which eventually became a rule and a tradition.
Polo trousers or horse riding pants have evolved over the years, an example of this are the “Jodhpur”, which translated into english means riding pants; The story behind this name has its origin in the Indian city called the same way, a city in which baggy pants at the waist and tight after the knees were invented in the late 1800s, an innovation that polo players preferred given the greater freedom of movement that was granted to them while riding a horse and that ended up becoming a fashion icon throughout the United Kingdom.
FROM JODHPUR TO KRONO TROUSERS
Every product (not just polo) has its history, previously we saw how the Jodhpur were born and how a small modification in the pants brought great benefits. Today, one hundred years later, white polo jeans did not change much, that is why Krono Polo designed some polo pants specifically for this sport, featuring a panel om the inside leg to remove the frictions from the seams of normal polo jeans, using an extremely stretchy cotton fabric to promote the freedom of movement while playing.
The Krono Polo white pants have quickly been adopted by the best polo players, giving them comfort, grip and durability to win the most prestigious tournaments in the world.
The understated design provides an effortless elegance for those who wear them and they are available for both men and women, the key of the brand is to offer the best in trend, while respecting the polo tradition.
