A refined interpretation of the earliest military chinos, celebrated for their comfort, versatility, and impressive ruggedness. Equally at home in garages and workshops as they are offices and city streets, The Foundation Pant revives the rugged roots of a beloved menswear staple, built to help you start your day on solid ground.

The Foundation Pant project started when we discovered some deadstock military chino material and decided to reverse-engineer it with 100% organic cotton. We chose a balanced weight (8-oz.) that feels great all year round, and because it’s been garment dyed and washed, they have the character of a well-loved vintage piece, and will continue to pick up nuance with wear.

  • 8-oz. 100% organic cotton twill.
  • 5.5-oz. 100% organic cotton herringbone pocketing.
  • Garment dyed and washed for a soft, lived-in feel.
  • Front slash pockets for easy entry.
  • Low profile welt coin pocket inset into the waistband.
  • Two back welt pockets. Right pocket features button closure.
  • Bound fly and outseam.
  • YKK zip fly with 4-hole vintage military-style button closure.
  • Wash cold and tumble dry low.
  • Made in China.

Customer Reviews (4.6 / 5 · 5 reviews)

James ★★★★★

The olive color is exactly what's shown, and the fabric already feels broken-in without being thin. I've worn them three days straight and they still hold their shape, which is more than I can say for most chinos I've owned.

Daniel ★★★★★

The waistband sits perfectly without digging in, and the organic cotton feels sturdy yet breathable — I've already worn them on two long walks and they held their shape all day. Exactly the rugged versatility you'd expect from a military classic.

Sophia R. ★★★★★

The organic cotton feels noticeably smoother than my old pairs, and the WWII-inspired cut gives just enough room without looking baggy. Wore them on a long walk and they held their shape with zero chafing. Exactly the rugged versatility I was hoping for.
