MOMOTARO JEANS Duck Painter Pants - Navy

Painter pants started out as the uniform of American house painters and decorators in the early 20th century, usually cut from white cotton duck so drips didn't matter. Duck is a plain, tightly woven canvas, firmer than twill, and it breaks in slowly into soft creases that follow how you move.

Momotaro's version comes in navy duck, which makes the shape far easier to wear day to day. Expect a firm hand at first. Regular wear and a few washes will soften the canvas and bring up gentle fading along the seams and pocket edges.

A sturdy alternative to jeans, they sit well with a plain tee and the Momotaro Utility Shirt.
