Flint and Tinder Pants – Premium Everyday Menswear
The 365 Pant is our everyday answer to the gap between stiff work pants and flimsy casualwear. We built these with a proprietary stretch canvas that moves with you through every part of your day—from your morning commute to weekend projects—without losing structure or fading after a dozen washes.
Our signature fit gives you room in the thigh and a clean taper from knee to hem, so they look sharp enough for the office but feel like your most broken-in pair. The fabric is treated with a DWR finish that sheds light rain and resists stains, which means less time worrying about spills and more time getting things done.
- Proprietary stretch canvas with 2% elastane for all-day movement
- DWR water-resistant finish repels moisture and stains
- Reinforced belt loops and bar-tack stitching at stress points
- Hidden coin pocket and interior card slot for essentials
- Modern fit: relaxed through thigh, tapered below knee
Fabric and Construction Details
Every pair of Flint and Tinder pants starts with fabric sourced from mills we’ve worked with for years. Our 365 Pant uses a proprietary stretch canvas that blends natural cotton fibers with a small percentage of elastane, giving you freedom of movement without the baggy look that comes from cheaper stretch fabrics. The Stretch Chino is built from a four-way stretch twill that rebounds after wear, so the seat and knees don’t bag out by midday.
We reinforce every high-stress zone with bar-tack stitching and double-needle seams. Belt loops are anchored with extra stitching so they won’t pull away when you’re carrying tools or a heavy belt. Pockets are lined with durable pocket bags that won’t tear when you load them with keys, a phone, and a wallet. The construction methods we use are the same ones found in workwear that lasts decades, applied to pants you’d actually want to wear to dinner.
Fit Guide and Sizing
Modern Fit Philosophy
Our fit sits between slim and relaxed. We give you room through the hip and thigh so the fabric doesn’t pull when you sit or squat, then taper the leg from the knee down for a clean line that works with boots, sneakers, or dress shoes. The rise is mid-height—high enough to stay put when you bend over, low enough that you’re not hiking them up all day.
How to Choose Your Size
Order your usual waist size. If you’re between sizes or prefer a looser fit through the seat, size up one. The stretch fabrics will mold to your body over the first few wears without stretching out permanently. Inseam options cover 30″ to 36″ depending on the style, and we recommend hemming if you’re in between lengths rather than cuffing heavy canvas. For the most accurate fit, compare our size chart measurements to a pair of pants you already own and love.
Care and Maintenance
Flint and Tinder pants are designed to get better with age, not fall apart after a season. Machine wash cold with like colors and tumble dry on low, or hang dry to extend fabric life even further. The DWR finish on the 365 Pant will last through 25–30 washes before it needs retreatment, and you can refresh it with a spray-on DWR product available at most outdoor retailers.
Avoid fabric softener—it clogs the fibers and reduces breathability. If you get a stain, spot clean with mild detergent and cold water before throwing the pants in the wash. For the Washed Canvas Work Pant, the garment wash process means they’re already broken in, so you won’t see much additional softening. Just wash when they’re dirty and expect them to look better with wear, not worse.

Questions About Our Pants
Our pants have a modern fit that’s roomier than slim-fit styles but more tailored than traditional relaxed cuts. You get extra room through the hip and thigh with a clean taper from the knee down. If you wear a 34″ waist in most brands, order a 34″ in our pants. The stretch fabrics will conform to your body over the first few wears without permanently stretching out.
For the most accurate fit, compare our size chart measurements to a pair you already own. If you’re between sizes or prefer a looser fit in the seat, size up one.
Yes, all of our pants are machine washable. Wash cold with like colors and tumble dry on low, or hang dry to extend the life of the fabric. Avoid fabric softener, which can clog fibers and reduce breathability.
The DWR finish on the 365 Pant will last 25–30 washes before it needs retreating with a spray-on product. The Washed Canvas Work Pant is pre-shrunk and won’t change size after washing.
The 365 Pant uses a heavier stretch canvas with a DWR water-resistant finish, making it ideal for outdoor use, travel, or anyone who needs pants that can handle unpredictable conditions. It has a slightly more rugged look and feel.
The Stretch Chino is lighter and softer with a brushed twill weave that’s more traditional in appearance. It’s four-way stretch fabric makes it better suited for office environments or dressier casual occasions. Both have reinforced construction and modern fits—the choice comes down to whether you prioritize weather resistance or a dressier aesthetic.
Yes, we include a prepaid return label with every order. If the fit isn’t right, you can return unworn, unwashed pants within 60 days for a full refund or exchange. We want you to be completely satisfied with your purchase, and our customer service team is available to answer sizing questions before you order.
With normal wear and proper care, you can expect our pants to last several years. We use reinforced stitching, durable fabrics, and construction methods borrowed from workwear designed to last decades. Many customers report wearing the same pair multiple times per week for two or three years before seeing significant wear.
The fabric actually improves with age—cotton canvas softens and molds to your body, and the colors develop a worn-in patina that looks better than new. We design for longevity, not planned obsolescence.
If you’re comfortable with a sewing machine, you can hem them at home. Use a heavy-duty needle for canvas styles and a standard needle for the Stretch Chino. For a professional finish, especially on the heavier Work Pant, we recommend taking them to a tailor.
Most alterations shops charge $10–$15 for a basic hem. Ask them to preserve the original hem if possible (called a “Euro hem”) so the bottom edge keeps the factory finish. If you’re between inseam sizes, we suggest hemming rather than cuffing thick canvas.
Yes, our waist sizing is accurate to standard US sizing. A size 34 measures 34 inches at the waistband when laid flat and measured across. The stretch fabrics will give slightly with wear but won’t stretch out permanently if you order your correct size.
If you typically wear a belt, order your usual waist size. If you prefer a looser fit or are between sizes, go up one. The integrated stretch means the pants will move with you without feeling baggy.
