I should maybe have asked about shrinkage on this thread before rinsing these ducks yesterday. They are now firmly a 34w instead of a 36.

Any slimmer blokes than me want to make an offer ?

Whoa! Amazing vintage hunting jacket. The National Recovery Act was a short lived government policy so your jacket dates from 1933-34. Very cool!

Thanks for posting the photos.

Got this Nice Hunting Jacket which should date back to pre 1935s as it has a NRA (National Recovery Act) tag like the LEVIS 1933

I almost bid on those myself. They'd fit me now perfectly but I'm broke til after Christmas. Is the stain on the lap still noticeable after the rinse, that was kinda what put me off buying them.

Its not a stain mate, just one of those funny camera refractions.

Hi guys, thought I'd post this in here since I *think* they're ducks. Can anyone ID them?

Any thoughts on a non denim pair of pants, cut like a pair of denim (No chino pockets.)

specially something like a pair 103's or 0500's?

I tried on the Oni's this weekend and they were a little too loose. Also waiting to try on a pair of size M SD ducks, but i think i'll have the same problem as the Oni's.

[Froosh]

Can anyone help?

I have a pair of outdoors pants that look just like these, don't believe that is duck, think it's just heavyweight cotton twill.

Hey guys. I just wanted to post a little update on my Carharrt Ropers since I've been wearing them a couple of months. First off, I love the fit with the cinch and the reinforcing rivits all over the place. I knew they wouldn't be extremely heavy since they're only 12 oz., but they feel less than 12oz to me. My biggest criticism is the contstruction. After one wash I had significant fraying on one side of 2 of the belt loops and within both of the back pockets. My cinch closure also broke. I just sewed it up so I don't have two little tails on the back of my pants, but that was a little annoying. Anyway, I like these pants, just little things that kill resale and blah blah. Hope to get something beefier soon. If anyone disagrees please pipe in with opinions, but people haven't really talked about the aging in this thread. Thanks!

sda was awesome, but zippers suck!

[Bigyen]

Meh. i don't mind the zipper, i just want a good slim straight fit on some non denim pants. Maybe a slight taper, but that's getting greedy. Already copped a pair of Jcrew cords, but I want something a little more rugged, but classy at the same time.

[fardin]

Are the Ropers considerably slim? What's the leg opening size? I'm looking for something more along the lines of the newer fit 501s with a regular straight fit rather than something really slim as I have big thighs. Also where did you purchase yours from? Any fit pics? Is the sizing tagged size + 2 (like most vanity sized pants)? Sorry, lots of questions, I know!

i think this jacket may be duck canvas, it is really tough whatever it is. Unfortunately there is no tag

[fardin]

looks just beautiful.

[SLAB]

[oboy_oboy]

Not new, but wanted to post to this thread. I really like the fabric combos.

If I didn't already have two very similar vests I would have sprung for those a long time ago. Me likey.

The pattern is pretty basic and if I can get my hands on some nice duck I am going to make myself one.

hi guys,

i just read this whole thread.. so damn good!

i love that about SuFu, when you are looking to school yourself for a new item, there are a few solid threads that just have good posts.

I am asking for some recommendations on a slim fitting / heavy well constructed Duck pant.

i normally find myself wearing slim fitting Iron Heart 301s for reference.

so any help or recommendation would greatly be appreciated.

all my best.

The opening is 9" on my pair. They don't feel extremely slim, but I only sized down 1. You could definitely size down 2. I purchased mine from Meet Bernard on sale for 45 USD.

And finally, here's an old fit picture.

[davichan]

thank you ADH92,

this is def a good start, will look into the link.

i am still looking for something slimmer in the thigh and leg oppening if possible~

[SLAB]

davichan, the über duck pants imo are the rising sun neustadter pants; if i had the cash for those they would be mine long time ago. They are not cheap (500$) and not exactely slim though

[Bigyen]

Is there a non denim pants thread in superdenim, I've looked and can't find one. As much as this might sounds like an oxymoron it would give people a place to find cords, ducks, chinos, etc. that fit like cuts of jeans they like.
