WILD DUCK CANVAS SHORTS. Vintage sporting utility, reworked for modern summer wear. Rooted in the sporting and shooting garments of the 1930s, the WILD DUCK CANVAS series reinterprets the functional beauty and rugged character of vintage utility wear through a contemporary BIG JOHN perspective. The WILD DUCK CANVAS SHORTS take the practical details found in period workwear and rebuild them into a relaxed, wide-fitting silhouette designed for everyday wear. ■ Silhouette — Two pleats, generous volume The front features a classic two-pleat construction, creating generous room through the waist, hips, and thighs. Rather than sitting flat against the body, the pleats give the shorts a fuller, more dimensional shape with the easy volume associated with traditional work trousers. A wide hem and carefully balanced length keep the silhouette relaxed without feeling excessively short. The result is a comfortable, substantial shape that gives the shorts a distinct WILD DUCK presence while remaining easy to wear through the warmer months. ■ Fabric — Recycled T/C Canvas The fabric is a recycled T/C blend combining polyester and cotton, selected for its balance of workwear durability and lightweight comfort. Its dry hand and relatively light feel make it particularly well suited to warm-weather wear, while retaining the practical character expected from traditional utility clothing. After construction, the garment is washed to soften the fabric and remove the stiffness normally associated with a brand-new workwear garment. This process creates a naturally relaxed surface and slightly worn-in appearance, giving the shorts the character of a piece that has already seen years of use. ■ Vintage Sportswear, Reinterpreted The inspiration comes from an era when sporting and shooting garments were designed first and foremost around function. Room to move, practical construction, durable materials, and uncomplicated details were necessities rather than decoration. Rather than reproducing those garments literally, BIG JOHN translates their logic into clothing suited to contemporary life. The two-pleat front and wide proportions preserve the utilitarian spirit of vintage workwear while creating a lighter, more relaxed silhouette that feels natural in modern summer styling. ■ Styling The generous two-pleat shape adds just enough volume to a simple T-shirt or shirt combination, allowing the silhouette itself to become part of the styling. The shorts can also be paired with other pieces from the WILD DUCK CANVAS series for a coordinated look built around matching fabric and color. Rugged in origin but easy in appearance, they bridge the functionality of vintage workwear with the lightness required for everyday summer wear. ■ Style • Product: WILD DUCK CANVAS SHORTS • Silhouette: Two-pleat wide fit • Fit: Relaxed through the waist and thigh • Finish: Garment washed ■ Color Camel ■ Details • Classic two-pleat front • Generous room through the waist and hips • Wide leg opening • Relaxed, dimensional silhouette • Garment-washed finish ■ Material Characteristics • Recycled T/C fabric (polyester / cotton) • Durable workwear-inspired construction • Lightweight, dry wearing feel • Garment washed for a naturally softened, vintage-inspired character ■ Notes Due to the garment-washing process, slight variations in size, texture, and appearance may occur between individual pieces.
