Duck 908 Nimes Pants

A denim-inspired yoke adds just a hint of structure, while darts at the hips create a softly rounded silhouette. The relaxed tapered leg is finished with a drawstring at the hem, allowing you to adjust the shape as you like. This piece was inspired by the workwear worn by laborers in the Nîmes region of France.

The rugged appeal of duck fabric, long cherished by workers, lies in its toughness. Densely woven for durability, it surprises with a soft, worn-in feel once you try it on—a contrast that speaks to true craftsmanship.

With its characteristic fading, abrasions, and patina, duck fabric only gets better with age. Each wash brings out more character, and the more you wear it, the more it feels like yours. Before you know it, it becomes an indispensable companion. This is 45R’s take on timeless Japanese workwear, where functionality meets quiet beauty.
