OUR STORY

How Public Rec Pants Started—and Where They Are Now

public rec brand story 1160x1280 1 1.webp

It Began on Kickstarter

Public Rec started in Chicago in 2015 with one idea: pants that feel like sweats and pass as dress pants. Our first style, the All Day Every Day Pant—now the Gamechanger—launched on Kickstarter and proved men would pay for comfort that looks sharp.

Now Part of NOBULL

In April 2026 Public Rec joined NOBULL, the Boston training brand. publicrec.com now leads to the Public Rec collection on nobullproject.com, where every style is made to the same specification, in the same fabrics, with the same sizing.

What Never Changed

The pants are still cut to real waist and inseam measurements. They still machine wash cold and dry without ironing. And they are still the reason more than 15,000 five-star pant reviews exist across the line.

Public Rec Gamechanger 5-Pocket Short — Men’s Stretch Shorts

Our five-pocket pant cut to short length in the same nylon-spandex fabric, with a banded waist, belt loops and two back pockets. Built for heat and long walks.

One Fabric Standard. No Compromise.

Every pair is machine washable, wrinkle-resistant and cut to real measurements. No dry cleaning, no ironing, no shrinking after the third wash. That is the whole promise, and it has not changed since 2015.

Why Men Keep Reordering the Same Pair

Pants get worn, washed and worn again. These three things decide whether a pair survives that cycle—or ends up at the back of the drawer by month three.

Sizing You Can Order Blind

We cut to waist 28–44 and inseam 28–36, not S/M/L. Order the size you wear in jeans. A 5’11.5” model wears a 30W × 30L, and that is the whole size guide.

Care That Fits a Real Week

Machine wash cold, skip the bleach and softener, hang dry or tumble low. No ironing, ever. The fabric releases creases on its own, which is why these survive business travel.

Three Dress Codes, One Pair

Our knit holds its shape—we rate structure high on the polyester styles—so the same pair reads as office wear at nine, travel wear at noon, and weekend wear by dinner.

REVIEWS

What Wearers Say About Public Rec Pants

“I bought these for a work trip and wore them four days straight. No creases, no ironing, and they still looked sharp at dinner. The waist sizing is what sold me—32 means 32, not “32-ish.” First pair of pants I’ve ordered online that fit on arrival, and I’ve ordered plenty.”

Marcus T.
“The drawstring pair is the closest thing to sweatpants I can wear to a client meeting, and nobody notices. Zip pockets mean my phone doesn’t slide out when I sit down, which was the whole problem with my old joggers. I own two colors now and I’m eyeing a third.”

Daniel R.
“Ordered my usual 34×32 and they fit like my jeans, which never happens online. Washed cold, hung them up, no shrinkage and no wrinkles. Two years in and they’re still the pair I reach for first, even with newer stuff sitting in the drawer. I have since bought the shorts as well.”

Chris W.
“I golf in the chinos three times a week. They stretch through the swing, breathe in the heat, and don’t look like gym clothes at the clubhouse. Only complaint: I wish there were more colors in my size, because I’d buy every single one. Navy and sand cover most of my wardrobe.”
