1-Year Review of Flint and Tinder's 365 Pants | Are They the Best Stretchy Pants?

[@partybees8856]

I've owned two pairs of these pants, one from over 3 years ago when they were MUSA, and one a year or two afterwards. Being made in the USA or not is not a big deal to me, but the original 365 pants I owned were much better quality than the second pair, felt better, and washed better. The second pair were OK, but I wasn't blown away. I would say I feel the same way you do, but the OGs were super nice.

[@michaellorenzen8200]

made in the USA needs to be a big deal for you because you SUPPORT workers in the USA not foreigners

[@partybees8856]

@@michaellorenzen8200 I support everyone Michael. I give money to domestic issues that are important to me, and I do buy MIUSA, but not exclusively.

[@ZakHancock]

I wear 365 pants almost exclusively, and have been for about 3 years. I haven’t had any issues with abnormally fast wear. Will buy more if I ever need to!

[@Korupt0r]

Just received some 365 and Proof Rover pants from the Prime Day deal. Ended up returning the 365s and kept the Rovers, preferred the more rugged, build quality and feel of the Rover.

[@VooDoodaddy75]

Same here, LOVE the Rover pant.

[@Stridewise]

welp looks like I'm reviewing those! thanks for cementing the decision

[@marlenakauer5262]

Nice review! I would add kato brand chinos as another alternative pant to denim with stretch and made in usa

[@grandadslifehacks8992]

How do you think these compare with Dockers Jean Cut Pants? The Dockers say they are made with All Seasons Tech fabric, which is a twill: 60% Cotton, 37% Sorbtek® 365 Polyester, 3% Elastane. The two different pants look similar in pictures and the Dockers are only $58.

Thanks for noting the stretching, Nick. Makes me nuts when pant waists stretch because it causes my pants to constantly slip down. That's the main reason I switched to selvedge denim which tends to hold its shape. If you're looking for casual pants that don't stretch in the waist, I've had very good luck with the original stretch washed chinos from Bonobos. Enjoy the weekend!

You don't wear a belt?

[@Freco1967]

@@hawkevick9184 I do on occasion only as an accessory, but not to hold my pants up.

Thanks man! This happened with my Taylor Stitch boss duck pants too. I just get the waist brought in by my dry cleaner after a few months of wear and it's all good, though I miss the way the legs fit at first!

[@brandonrogers4415]

@@Stridewiseout of curiosity how does your dry cleaner bring in the waist? I’d be interested in doing that when pants stretch out with wear, cheers

@@Freco1967that’s what they’re designed to do. Fashion is a side effect.

[@orlog3343]

I’ve had a pair for about a year. They look good and stretch good, but the fit is slim even in the straight fit. Waist is a bit wide considering the proportions too, so I need a belt if I want them to feel more secure. The durability isn’t the best, but they’re still a great lightweight pant

[@drzaius844]

The REAL question is how do you like that Planet Ocean? 0:12

[@strengthandbulkMadness]

Those pants look good. I will buy in the future.I have similar pairs of Lucky Brand in 2 colors that I use for the same purpose of lounging around and sneaking in the office.

[@nathanfisher1512]

What Penny Loafers 0:33 ? Great review!

[@ryanfitzalan8634]

you sound like you are from Massachusetts. its so funny how I've know many people from mass and I've also met a few different people who are longtime British immigrants to the US, and the accent of a brit gone native, quickly becomes like the Mass accent. In particular the Quincy Boston Accent is the most similar, my Aunt is from there and there are moments where her and my cousin, almost sound posh British. My Grandma was a Worcester girl, Irish background, and she too had a very British sound sometimes, using certain words only brits use like "rubbish".

[@tommysmith7031]

Can you do a roundhouse kick in those jeans?

[@Stridewise]

Absolutely, great Tony Jaa pants

[@kdbw3]

Too bad that don't come in a 36 inseam!! Wanted to buy some but...not long enough!

[@blakeseckinger3280]

I don’t understand why people act like $98 is super expensive for a pair of pants. Have y’all been to the store lately? 😂 a pair of pants got under $100 isn’t bad IMO

[@johnfarel3152]

Yeah inflation too. I think a lot of people think it’s still 1993

[@Christopher_Stead]

Another great video Nick, can tell this one’s been brewing a while

[@Stridewise]

yeah I'm grateful that as the channel's aged I've been able to have more long-term reviews like this

[@_bats_]

The fact that one pair was Indonesia and the other Pakistan and they had two different sizes indicates to me that they're not really totally on top of the manufacturing processes at these partner factories to keep a consistent product. That said they do seem like super comfy pants. Stretch is super underrated.

[@ctdefender110ct5]

Hi Nick… Great review (as always). I noticed you wearing your Patnoflex shoes in this video and went back to watch your older video that featured them. I just ordered two pair (41 and 42). I’m in that group between sizes and I was hoping you might be able to share whether or not they’ve stretched at all in the toe box area. Have you noticed any give anywhere in the shoe as you’re worn them? Thanks!

[@StrideJacket]

Purchased the 365 pant in the straight fit and was surprised at how slim they still were. Comfortable but the silhouette doesn't compliment my proportions very well.

[@michaellorenzen8200]

skinny jeans are gaaaaaay

[@paulcaban7750]

Hi Nick, just wondering if you're seeing the same stretch in the 365 chords? I ordered a 32 and a 33 inch waist because I am usually between the two. They seem to run a little smaller than other pants I've purchased but if they stretch out an inch in the waist I will probably stick with the 32's.

[@VooDoodaddy75]

Great review Nick, haven't tried the 365 but I do have a pair of the Proof Rover pants and they are phenomenal - check them out. Also like your watch - what are you sporting in the video?

[@Stridewise]

This is Vaer's field watch! fave.co/3OiTOl4 'stridewise15' should give you a discount

[@wagz54]

Could you just dry them to shrink the pants back down? Also, I’d really like if they made these in 100% cotton. Does that make me wrong lol

[@sundayscaries11]

The tag says tumble dry and I made the mistake of drying them on medium heat. Definitely had up to an inch in shrink that I personally didn’t want.

[@cohen0206]

Where did you get those shoes from???

[@paulcaban7750]

Love how you multitask and get your lunges and pistol squats in while shooting the video.

[@shawnbruns8730]

I have 3 pairs for 365 pants and have not found them to be all that stretching at all. The material make-up is 98% cotton and only 2% spandex... a 2% stretch is almost nothing. I think Nick is overinflating the stretch and agree more with Nick's conservative take. These pants give, a little bit, but not much.

[@sundayscaries11]

I definitely agree. If anything, I’d say these have minimal stretch.

[@Vwall007ST]

I like Huckberry’s products but I do agree that they need to produce receipts when similiar brands like Taylor Stitch are doing so. P.S. if you can’t afford huckberry, you’re a hater 😂

Very good point. Also, is it called getting “pantsed” or “de-pantsed”? Never heard of downtrou-ed. 😂

Good review. I don’t think they are worth $100. $75 tops. So maybe on sale. That aside, I agree that tucking shirts in 5 pocket pants definitely looks strange😂. Bringing a more comfortable pair of pants when going to a friends to lounge around because your selvage jeans are too uncomfortable . I felt that😂😂😂

[@joe_ferreira]

there is no reason these are so expensive. They shouldn't cost more than $50 with the quality they are providing.
