Canvas Work Trouser

The Canvas Work Trouser is made for days with a bit of wear in them: moving house, working in the garden, a weekend on a ladder. The canvas is stiff when new and breaks in over a few months, and the knees are doubled where trousers usually give out first.

Materials

• 100% organic cotton canvas, 12 oz
• Double knees in the same canvas, open at the bottom so you can add knee pads
• Thigh pocket on the right leg, bar-tacked at every stress point
• Sewn with a partner workshop in Poland

Fit

Relaxed through the seat and thigh with a straight leg, so you can kneel and crouch without the fabric pulling. Take your usual size. Size M fits a 32–34 inch waist and has a 32-inch inseam; the hem is cut long so you can cuff it once or have it shortened.

Care

Brush off dry mud before washing. Machine wash warm inside out and hang to dry; the canvas can shrink by up to 2% in the first wash, and the length allows for it. The olive fades slowly at the knees and pockets, and if a seam lifts or a pocket tears in the first two years, we repair it for free.
