Description

Inspired by the clean-cut officer's chinos of the past, with a few modern updates. A mid-high rise and athletic taper, slant front and welt back pockets, and natural corozo buttons. Built out with eight pockets for daily carry, a stretch panel at the back of the waistband, a crotch gusset, and bar-tacked 2.5" belt loops sized for carry belts. Cut from a 7.5 oz (254 gsm) cotton-blend stretch twill that's easy to care for, without the technical look.

“When I left active duty for Corporate America, I searched in vain for that perfect daily driver of an office pant, with enough pockets for my gear. Crease-pressed with a sport coat, or straight out of the dryer with T-shirt and sneakers. These are what I couldn't find ten years ago.”
Tom Robinson · Founder

Formerly the Summer Chino Pant. Same pants, new name.

Fit

Athletic taper

Athletic taper: the waist you already wear, cut for a muscular seat and thigh, then tapered from mid-thigh to the hem.

The waistband fits true to size: if a 34 works for you elsewhere, it works here. Size up if you're between sizes. Finished 1" hems in 30", 32" and 34" inseams.

Tom is 5'9", athletic dad build. Usually a 33, wearing a 34 × 30.

Shipping & Returns

45 days

My family and I pack orders Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday nights, so most ship within 2 to 4 days. Free shipping over $200. U.S. and APO addresses only, for now.

Most brands don't cut for an athletic build, which makes buying online a gamble. I do. But if yours still aren't right, send them back unworn within 45 days. Returns and exchanges are on me.

Eight pockets, without being a tactical goober

Most dress pants make you choose what stays home. Mine don't.

  1. The Classic Four
    Front slash and single-welt rear pockets, right where you expect them. Wallet and keys, per usual.
  2. Front Inner Patch Pockets
    Tucked inside the front pockets, so a knife or flashlight clips high and out of the way. The 4-inch opening fits most slim sheaths.
  3. Beltline Inset Pockets
    Set into the beltline at 4 and 8 o'clock. A phone rides flat and stays put when you sit.
  4. Rear Stretch Panel
    Stretch across the back of the waistband at 6 o'clock, placed clear of where most guys carry.
  5. Crotch Gusset
    One thing the 2010s tight styles taught me: I'm never living without an anti-pinch crotch gusset, if I can help it.

I work in a LEO capacity where I have to dress business casual everyday and still carry all of my required gear. I’ve tried other brands that would just rip or couldn’t support the weight of a gun and other gear or they just didn’t have the appropriate pockets to carry all of my gear. These chinos fix all of that. They’re extremely comfortable and fit very well. You can immediately feel how durable these pants are. I can wear all my gear without my pants sagging or worried about them ripping. The only alteration I had to do was hem them. I’m typically a 28 inseam and they’re only offered in 30. So it’d be nice to see more sizes available but definitely not a deal breaker. Overall I’d highly recommend these pants to anyone in a LEO position or just someone who likes to ccw. These pants can hold up to whatever task you throw at them

I haven't even tried them on yet I am just utterly blown away by the absolute pagentry and attention to detail of the packaging. I have truly never seen a company go this far

The packaging is insane firstly. The texture, fit, stretch, everything are just perfect.

Fantastic product! Never have I been as impressed with the quality and care of the unboxing experience, as well as the product. The time and attention to detail is well worth it. Wore them out for the first time yesterday and I might be a lifetime customer. 10 stars.

Received these the other day and the fit and finish are remarkable! Very comfortable, I have large “athletic” (😢) legs and they fit well without riding up the calves. The length and waist are actually properly sized and my Enigma setup settles in comfortably under the waistline with no issue.

Don’t buy another pair of 5.11s that only last a few months and go ahead and get these for peace of mind.

Out of the magnificent packaging and right into action. These felt great and fit as described.
Can’t wait to run them through the paces and follow up with the other designs in the wardrobe.
Pockets a plenty and very comfortable material

So I’m 6’ 215lbs with pretty thick thighs. Buying pants is always a nightmare, especially online. However the summer chinos fit perfect. I ordered a 34/32 and wouldn’t change a thing about the fit. Will definitely buy another pair soon.

Great Fit

As someone who has to conceal carry daily in a corporate environment, these pants have been fantastic. The fit is perfect and the flexibility of the waistline for conceal carry makes a huge difference. They also blend nicely with most business casual attire. Will definitely be buying again once the dress pants are back in stock.

My new favorite pants—these are absolutely the best cut and most useful pants I own. The additional pockets are an excellent way to never lose my pen, keys, headphones, and everything else I carry. The fabric is incredibly soft. These look ready for the office and feel ready for the road trip. These are simply superior pants.

Tom was fantastic. There was a small hiccup in the order but he was able to pivot and got me set up. The pants are very impressive. The quality is outstanding. I will definitely be watching to see when other colors come back in stock.

Love the fit, the flexibility, the pockets and overall quality. Lets hope it holds up after several washes.

Very utilitarian and comfortable

These pants are very well made! They are very comfortable and soft while looking as sharp as any professional pair of dockers or similar pants I own. The pockets are perfectly sized and positioned. The elastic at the back of the waistband gives a lot of flexibility for gear in the belt line. I’m very pleased!

I haven’t received them yet. They appear to have not been shipped. Maybe you should check this sort of thing before sending out review requests.

Fast shipment, really good packaging/presentation, and man these things are comfortable!

If you’re a dude that likes having options for conceal carry/ EDC/ or medical these pants are the golden ticket. They don’t look too dressy either, they can definitely be worn with a wide variety of outfits (at least with my style)

Wow! Words cannot even describe these pants! I was absolutely blown away by the presentation and packaging, and the pants were even better once I tried them on. These might be the best pants I have ever worn. I cannot recommend these enough. The fit and feel were stunning, and I likely could have gone down a size. I am certainly placing an order for more colors. These are an absolutely amazing product with exceptional service, communication, customer service!

Well you did it. There aren’t many things that make me an immediate customer for life. I can think of maybe three, but the Summer weight chino pants are an immediate addition to that list. The presentation alone is enough to make even the best customer-first companies feel embarrassed. Incredibly comfortable, all the pockets for all the things. These just put every other pair of pants to the back of the closet.

Thanks for making such a high quality product. Keep rocking.

The fabric quality is fantastic. Smooth, soft and breathable are essential in extremely hot climates. Having a multitude of pockets is very necessary too when carrying but also for just having the ability to carry more things for whatever task you have.

These are fantastic. I need you to make jeans now.

Incredibly comfortable trousers that look great. They’re breathable and cut well. Only one minor issue: the small magazine sized pocket in the front pockets sits too high and is a little too loose and deep for carrying a magazine (Glock 19) without a neomag or some other sort of clip.
