365 Chino Pant — Everyday Comfort in American-Made Cotton
Our 365 Chino Pant is the single pair of pants you can wear every day of the year — and we mean that. Built from 8.5 oz. cotton twill with just enough stretch to move with you, these chinos strike the perfect balance between structure and comfort.
We designed the Flint and Tinder 365 Chino Pant for guys who want one versatile pair that works at the office, on the weekend, and everywhere in between. The tailored fit sits comfortably at the waist without excess fabric, while the hidden stretch fibers give you freedom to move without the baggy look of traditional khakis. Made in the USA with attention to every seam and stitch, these chinos are built to last years, not months.
- 8.5 oz. cotton twill with 2% stretch for all-day comfort
- Tailored fit through hip and thigh with straight leg opening
- Hidden button-fly closure with reinforced belt loops
- Two front slash pockets and two rear button-through pockets
- Made in Los Angeles, California from globally sourced fabric
Fabric & Construction That Outlasts the Basics
We chose 8.5 oz. cotton twill for the 365 Chino Pant because it offers the ideal weight for year-round wear — substantial enough to hold its shape without feeling heavy in warm weather. The 2% stretch content is dialed in to provide natural give when you sit, squat, or move without creating that shiny, overstretched look you get from high-spandex blends.
Every pair is sewn in Los Angeles by skilled American garment workers using flat-felled seams on stress points. We reinforce the belt loops with double-stitching and bartack the pocket corners to prevent blowouts. The hidden button-fly adds a refined touch while staying more secure than zip flies over time.
Sizing & Fit Guide
The 365 Chino runs true to size with a tailored fit that’s fitted through the hip and thigh without being restrictive. If you’re between sizes or prefer a looser fit, we recommend sizing up one waist size.
Waist sizes range from 28 to 40, with inseam options at 30″, 32″, 34″, and 36″. The straight leg opening measures approximately 15.5″ on a size 32 waist, creating a clean silhouette that works with sneakers, boots, or dress shoes. Our fit is designed to sit at your natural waist — not low-rise — so the top of the waistband should rest where your belt naturally sits.
Care Instructions for Longevity
Machine wash your 365 Chino Pant in cold water with similar colors. We recommend turning the pants inside out before washing to preserve the fabric surface and any fading character that develops over time.
Tumble dry on low heat or hang to air dry — low heat prevents excessive shrinkage and extends fabric life. If you prefer a crisp look, iron on medium heat while the pants are slightly damp, or use a steamer for quick touch-ups. Avoid high heat in both the dryer and iron, as it can damage the stretch fibers over time.

365 Chino Pant — Your Questions Answered
Our 365 Chino Pant has a tailored fit similar to Bonobos Weekday Warriors but with slightly more room in the thigh. Compared to Levi’s, we’re closer to their 511 slim fit through the leg with a mid-rise waist. The key difference is our stretch content — we use just 2% for natural give without the baggy stretch-out you get from higher spandex blends. If you wear a 32 in Levi’s 511s, stick with a 32 in our chinos.
Yes, the 365 Chino Pant works perfectly for business casual dress codes. The 8.5 oz. cotton twill has enough structure to look polished with a button-down and blazer, while the hidden button-fly adds a refined detail. We designed the tailored fit to avoid the baggy, casual look of traditional khakis. Pair them with a dress shirt and leather shoes for the office, then swap in a tee and sneakers for the weekend.
The fabric is pre-washed to minimize shrinkage, but you can expect 1-2% additional shrinkage after your first wash, especially if you tumble dry on high heat. We recommend washing in cold water and tumble drying on low or hanging to air dry to maintain the original fit. Most customers find the fit stays consistent after the first wash when following our care instructions.
The 365 Short uses the exact same 8.5 oz. cotton twill fabric and tailored fit as the pant, just cut to a 9-inch inseam. Both feature the same hidden button-fly, reinforced pockets, and American-made construction. If you like the pant, you’ll love the short for warmer weather — they’re designed as a year-round system.
Yes, the 8.5 oz. weight is light enough for year-round wear including summer. The cotton twill breathes well and the 2% stretch prevents the fabric from clinging to your legs in heat. Many customers wear the 365 Chino Pant through summer in warm climates and report staying comfortable. If you’re in extremely hot areas, consider our 365 Short for peak summer months.
With proper care, most customers report 3-5 years of regular wear before needing replacement. The reinforced stress points and quality construction mean you won’t see blowouts or pocket failures like cheaper chinos. The fabric softens over time while maintaining its structure, and the color holds up well through dozens of washes. We’ve heard from customers wearing the same pair weekly for over four years.
Yes, we offer free hemming on all inseam lengths. After you receive your order, contact our customer service team with your desired finished inseam measurement and we’ll provide a prepaid return label. Our hemming service typically takes 5-7 business days once we receive your pants, and we’ll ship them back at no charge.
