Post your DUCKS!

That fit is really great ihate, imo the size is spot on.

I've been looking around for a pair of duck pants in painter/logger style for some time now, but have a hard time finding anything completely to my liking.

They need to be more fitted, not the wide fit you see on those workwear painter pants, possibly with a slight taper, not super slim tough!

Just a good fitted pair, this is the fit i'm going for http://shop.slamjam.com/index.php/firstfloor_en/first-floor/brands/uniform-experiment/sh-carhartt-dameged-double-front-logger-pant.html

Nothing pre-distressed though, preferably from mid or heavyweight duck cloth in a more brownish/orange color, button fly, and priced under $250.

If anyone can point me in the right direction it would be massively appreciated.

Pretty sure if you've got the dough and the patience ooe would, and they'd probably post it on their blog. But like baldy said, i really doubt it'd be less than 250.

Hmm, not so easy. Might be a bit of a contradiction, a pair of workwear pants but not in a workwear cut. Just kidding.

What about the non-treated Carhartts like these: http://shop.carhartt-wip.com/de/men/heritage/pants/I007416/roper-pant

These also look alright, albeit pretty washed: http://item.rakuten.co.jp/freeridep/10002204/

Not sure how tapered these are: http://item.rakuten.co.jp/vintage/sc40795a/

And I guess the Stevenson Overall Co. ones might work. But probably a bit above the price max you stated.

I did consider the carhartts, also checked out some other models they make in duck fabric, but it was never exactly what i'm looking for.

The stevenson's sure are nice, but just too expensive for what i'm willing to spend.

It is doable, workwear details on a non workwear cut, after all uniform experiment makes them, just don't like all the printed logo's and details... And the price.

These are the closest i found yet, very nice... But the zipper is the deal breaker for me:

Don't know what you mean by logger painter style. Double knee hammer loop tool pocket? These are really nice. That link you used is dead until Monday. So I am just guessing.

http://www.hickorees.com/brand/left-field/product/organic-duck-canvas-chinos-caramel#

Noticed the left field chinos before, though nice not what i am looking for, but i'm considering those for next summer.

Meant indeed tool pocket & loop detailling, actually exactly like the sda, but with a button fly instead, might get them after all but the zip fly is not my preferred choice.

The link's already back up again, edit the blue in green link to the sda's (it was also out), only now i noticed the slam jam link is out untill monday.

that's the typical duck, developed by Cone for Levi's. It has a very wide gap between the selvedge edge, and the selvedge line. Recent research suggests the fabric was designed that way in the 1800s; the black line was to mark the margins where sailmakers should join the pieces of cloth together.

In the words, of tg... Interesting.

I've never seen the black markings used on both sides of the leg. I think it looks rather cool.

PSA: American Rag in LA has Levi's Made & Crafted indigo duck jeans (like these; pretty sure they're one-wash) for 75% off the $225 retail price. Sizes 30, 31 and 32 all there when I stopped in yesterday (all 32" inseam). 30s were too big on me otherwise I would have taken them home. If the price drops much more it might be worth buying and having a tailor re-work.
