Flint and Tinder 365 Pant Review: Flex Meets Function with a Few Flaws

Nick English doesn’t sugarcoat it when he breaks down the Flint and Tinder 365 Pant from Huckberry in the YouTube video below.

He was hooked by the options—straight, slim, tapered fits, plus a solid lineup of colors. Being on the shorter side, Nick opts for the tapered fit to get that clean, sharp look without drowning in fabric. The variety of inseam lengths? A game changer. No more throwing cash at tailors just to get the perfect fit. Huckberry’s got more than just pants, too—think 365 joggers, shorts, and even some corduroy action, all at $118 a pop.

But what sets these pants apart for Nick is the fabric.

We’re talking a cotton-spandex blend with enough stretch to keep things comfortable while still looking put together. It’s got that flex for bigger guys without losing its shape. Even Nick’s cameraman, Jordan, is all in—he’s been rocking the same pairs for over a year.

Nick keeps it real, though. He points out that the sizing can be a bit hit or miss; over time, they might stretch more than you’d like. The garment-dyed finish? It’s what gives these pants that laidback, lived-in look. Huckberry’s all about durability with a story—clothes that look better the more you beat them up. Plus, they’re playing the sustainability card with 98% water recycling in the dyeing process.

Still, it’s not all sunshine. The spandex in the blend means these aren’t as breathable as pure cotton, and there’s some shade around the environmental impact. Plus, if you’re looking for something that can take a beating, these lightweight pants might not hold up under heavy wear.

Nick doesn’t let Huckberry off the hook, either. He calls out their sketchy move from American factories to overseas production in Indonesia and Pakistan, which doesn’t align with their ethical craftsmanship vibe.

So, is Huckberry a good brand? If you’re looking for thoughtful design and well-crafted products, Huckberry’s offerings, from clothes to gear, make a solid case for the label.
