Flint and Tinder Chinos | Premium American-Made Pants
We built our Flint and Tinder chinos to be the everyday pant you reach for again and again. Cut from heavyweight cotton twill and sewn right here in the USA, these chinos deliver the durability of workwear with the clean lines of a modern dress pant.
The 365 Chino features a classic straight fit through the leg with a mid-rise waist that sits comfortably at your natural waistline. We reinforced every stress point with bar-tack stitching and finished each pair with genuine horn buttons and hidden rivets at the pockets. Whether you’re heading to the office or out for the weekend, our chinos move with you and look better the more you wear them.

Fabric & Construction That Lasts
We source our chino fabric from heritage American textile mills that have been weaving quality cotton for generations. The heavyweight twill we selected weighs in at 10 ounces per square yard—substantial enough to hold its shape through years of wear while remaining breathable for all-season comfort.
Every pair is cut and sewn in our Los Angeles factory where our team has been perfecting the craft of premium menswear since we started. We use French seams at the inseam for a clean finish that won’t fray, and we reinforce the back pockets with hidden rivets just like vintage workwear. The result is a chino that feels substantial in your hands and gets better with every wash.
How Our Chinos Fit
Straight Fit Through the Leg
Our Flint and Tinder chinos follow a classic straight-leg silhouette that runs true to size from hip to hem. The fit sits comfortably at your natural waist without riding low, and the 16-inch leg opening provides a clean break over dress shoes or boots without extra fabric bunching at the ankle.
We offer regular inseams at 32 inches and long inseams at 34 inches across our full waist size range. The fabric has minimal stretch, so we recommend ordering your true waist size—these chinos will soften and conform to your body after the first few wears without stretching out. If you typically wear pants between sizes, we suggest sizing up for a more relaxed fit through the thigh.
Care Instructions
Machine wash your chinos in cold water with like colors to preserve the fabric’s integrity and color depth. We recommend turning them inside out before washing to protect the outer finish.
Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry to prevent excess shrinkage. The cotton twill will soften naturally over time—no fabric softener needed. For a crisp look, iron while the fabric is still slightly damp using a medium-high heat setting. Touch up wrinkles with a steam iron between washes to keep them looking sharp.

Our chinos are made from 100% cotton twill without added stretch fibers. This gives them a more structured feel and helps them hold their shape throughout the day and over years of wear.
While stretch chinos can feel comfortable initially, they often lose their shape and develop saggy knees over time. Our cotton twill softens and conforms to your body naturally without stretching out. Many customers find this traditional construction more comfortable for all-day wear once the fabric breaks in.
