Description
Occasionally, some items of workwear seem confined to a life of hard labour. Worn without consideration past the utilitarian purpose they are designed for, not quite crossing over to the majesty of menswear; streetwear, maybe, but not to be embraced as a functional part of everyday wear in a man’s wardrobe past the weekend.
The Double Knee, for us, seemed an obvious choice to bring into the fold - bridging our workwear into streetwear and bringing balance to a blazer in our own way.
Our pattern, released under our Bryce-Alls collection, we believe is the perfect balance of workwear, fit and fabric. With mid to high rise, the waistband sits formally just above the hip giving shape and proportion before falling into a full leg. The ‘double-knee’ front starts at the waistband, forming the front pockets and finishing at the shin. The defining utility pockets and loops are all in place and finished with brass hardware and zip-fly.
For winter, we have produced our Double-knee in a 14oz Japanese Moleskin cotton, a perfect fabric for the season and the design. With a rich history in workwear, moleskin has a luxurious feel to touch, which belies the hefty and durable nature of the fabric. When washed and worn, over-time the black will face to a pleasant charcoal, mimicking the undeniably appealing French workwear of the 30s & 40s
All-in-all, the Bryce-Alls Double Knee is a pant for hard-wear and to be worn hard.
