If you frequently rock boots, you’re going to be quite pleased with the fit on the Straight. The majority of the looser fit is focused on the lower leg, which has a much less aggressive taper than the Slim. The Straight fit is far from baggy, but still noticeably roomier than the Slim. Per their site, the slims “don’t look painted on, they’ve just got a modern, tapered design perfect for gussying up at the office or pairing with sneakers and a tee for a more laid back look.” Plenty of stretch (97% cotton, 3% Lycra) means these are comfy all day, and while the calves are bit suffocating, the smaller leg opening can still handle my Stafford Deacons and Red Wing Blacksmiths with ease. I wasn’t sure what to expect here, since I’ve never tried Flint and Tinder’s pant options before. Now, I don’t have as much badonkadonk as certain writers on this site, but I am athletic and prefer my pants to be on the slimmer side. ![]() All seven colors, up from four previously. Now? Three new colors have been added, including navy, for a total of seven to pick from. All seven colors still lean towards a neutral, de-saturated shade, which helps them be more versatile. More colors: The original offered four sharp, neutral, earth tones that went with anything. From everything I’m reading, it seems like Flint and Tinder did some extensive research and likely looked at the size distributions from their order numbers to gear up for this re-release. Waists of 30, 31, 32, and 33 now come in your choice of 30” or 32” inseam, and a 34 can then pick between 32” and 34” (apologies to any, cough, 34×30 guys editor’s note: hmph.) If you fall on the smaller or larger side of those waists, though? No such choice. Inseams: You want inseams? If you’re between a 30 and 34 waist, you’re in luck. From their product overview page, “the roomier (roomy, not baggy) leg opening of the straight fit is reminiscent of heritage menswear, making ‘em a perfect dancing partner for leather boots and workwear styles.” Huckberry was nice enough to send out both fits as loaners to compare, and we’ll take a dive into the straight vs. Slim AND Straight fit: Customers asked they listened. Yes, the 2019 edition of the 365 Pant still checks in at a pricey $98, but this already flexible, Made in the USA pant gets a lot more… flexibility. Not a whole lot is different here from the original review, but for their best-selling pant three years running, why mess with a good thing? Same great stretch, same lightweight but tough breathability, same great hardware and pockets. At the time, there was no straight fit, no inseam options so you most likely had to pay to have them hemmed, and a $98 price tag. ![]() While the comfy, stretchy five-pockets drew comps to such fan favorites as the BR Traveler Jean, the first edition wasn’t without its hesitations. It’s been a few short years already since this site first featured the Flint & Tinder 365 Pant to an overall solid showing. The last time we saw our intrepid heroes… Ryan is 5’9”, 155 and wearing a size 31×30 slim in this post. He plays guitar and drums, loves going to concerts with his wife, and loves being a dad. is a professional web developer for (and alum from) the University of Delaware, who keeps a close shave as to not be confused with his strongly-bearded twin brother. ![]() It looks like Flint and Tinder has now, as of mid September 2019, moved their 365 pant production overseas: “Expertly made in a sustainable factory in Indonesia.” That’s a big switch, and I’m not sure how well that’s gonna go over.Ībout the Author: Ryan N.
