Post your DUCKS!

[dkatz]

Hm, well they're clearly a bit oversized. I didn't bring a measuring tape into the dressing room with me, but I'm generally a pretty standard 30, and I'd be a 29 or maybe even 28 in these. They seem to be kind of carrot-shaped - a lot of room up top compared to the leg-opening. An exaggerated 501 profile?

Anybody have any experience with these

Thanks Dkatz. I figured you didn't have anything exact, just looking for a decent estimate.

cross posted from the waywt thread,

these are carhartt's "re-worked" by urban outfitters? I know...but I managed to scoop myself 3 pairs of these beauties for $15.00 each during some wild sale they were having. Typical carhartt materials and construction but slimmed down a bit, fitting similar to the ropers but with no buckle back and no selvedge. They do have the carpenter accents tho, and for $15 I really didn't give a shit what they fit like.

Perfecto by Schott "Dunbar" - sounds like it's made of Cone's indigo canvas/duck:

Garden variety grab-n-go arctic jacket. When new, the only thing that set it apart was that I sized it correctly. Carharrt is way off base with this. No wonder little dudes look so dumpy in them. I'm a 46-48 and I have to do a 40 in their sizing to get a fit.

This is its third winter and it will need a handwash this year.

Wow, just received my Roy ducks in the post and I am just in awe of the construction quality. Just amazing.

Quick pic (I sized down 1):

[Goominim]

^ aries, is he making them again? where'd you get them? I'd say that's a perfect fit.

[Aries]

Thanks mate. Not sure if he's making them again; I got mine from SelfEdge LA, pretty sure they had a few more pairs in stock in various sizes.

Just posted a piece on the origins of cotton duck , complete with new info from Ralph Tharpe - who oversaw a lot of the fabric on this thread - over at loomstate

[arcarsenal]

paul you are such a beast when it comes to the history behind our favorite fabrics. thanks for all of this info, it really is fascinating.

[Aries]

Great article, thanks Paul.

Wish LVC would rerelease the 1873. Might pull the trigger on a caramel Left Field.

Vintage sailcloth bag from Hickoree's. Looks like Cone Mills selvedge.

Looks like Blue In Green got their annual shipment of Oni products, including these:

Oni Denim OX Canvas Jeans

No pics at BIG yet, but a little Google fu shows them looking like this:

Thought folks around here might want to check them out. Oni stuff is seriously low volume, so I don't expect these to last super long.

[ThinFinn]

wanted to show some evo on the ih-duck jacket...but way too hard to capture it!

Nothing fancy in terms of selvedge or rare fabric, but they are very well made and durable as hell. Basically an overbuilt Carhartt. First is a detail of the buttons and fabric. second is an awful iPhone pic that just shows the design. Go here for better quality/stock photo's.

What's this duck shit?

[Paul T]

What's this duck shit?

It's the stuff you find around the side of ponds, usually.

[tropicalbird]

which is more durable, denim or canvas

[attackwithstones]

Denim.

Thats why Levi's continued using denim and why they fizzled out the use of duck.

I actually keep mine next to the cover.

[Guest Electrorock]

ok it is about that colour. Very farmy concept all right.
