Roy "All-Duck" Duck Jeans

September 4, 2014

Never a dull moment with Roy Slaper.  The man lives for finding excitement in the most minute details of a garment.  With this new release he set out to made a 5-pocket jean out of an unsanforized duck canvas fabric.  This is a similar material to what he's used in the past, this time the fabric is unsanforized and therefore will shrink like an unsanforized denim jean.   You may wonder as to why would you want your duck canvas pant to be unsanforized?  Because it will not only fit better but it will  also age better over time because the fabric hasn't gone through the sanforization process which flattens and (in our opinion) destroys a lot of the character contained within the fabric. 

This new version of his duck pant is made entirely of unsanforized cotton duck fabric, even the pocket bags and back pocket linings are made of duck.  These are cut in the Kinda Special fit which we think are his best fitting jean yet.  It's between a slim and straight cut with some taper to the leg using a unsanforized cotton duck fabric woven by Cone's White Oak mill. The fabric has a good weight to it and feels a bit heavier than the measured weight.

These will be available for sale at all Self Edge stores on Saturday September 6th at noon (local time) and at 9:30am (PDT) the same day via the online store.
