How do you like them, Clint? I've been eyeing them since their drop.

[elclintor]

They're really great IMO.. The cut is perfect. Not too slim, not too straight, Just right..

Construction is flawless as expected.

I'm really glad I did not hesitate like I usually do….. (should've snagged the ducks)

They're definitely keepers.

Yeah…the ducks are presently my favourite pair of pants. If I sell something in the next couple of days–while my size is still available--I'll hopefully grab one.

[elclintor]

If you've got the cash, grab em. or you'll live in regret like I am with the ducks…

They look good.

Those look really good

[Finn666]

sized to perfection El…well done!

shoreman - so the "too thin" feeling you had at first is gone by now?...need a pair of duck in my life so i'm thorn between these (if my size's still available!) or between the ones from IH.

[Guest]

Absolutely. I've come to realize the lower rise is far more favourable to my body type than a higher one. (More comfortable when rocking a belt.)

IMO, the present IH model is not a very flattering cut. I'd follow Clint's sentiments with respect to Duck and Black 'N Blue.

[Finn666]

great info's mate…thanks!

the Iron Heart Ducks are head & shoulders above the Roy Ducks in construction & material (imho).  The problem some will have is the Roy Ducks are a more contemporary cut while the Iron Heart Ducks are you know real double knee loggers.

just my 2 cents

That goes without saying. It's a more practical pant in terms of work purposes.

Honestly I did, but the pic he posted looked so different from what I saw on SE that I did not think it was the same pants! And I did not read his post carefully. My bad…

[elclintor]

They are not black, very very dark indigo.

The leather tag, stitching, and pocketing are black.

Thus the name, "black n blue"

[madmonday]

Ducks in an indigo sauce?  they do look good on you el.

to the duck topic, i got a pair of the ducks cause you know i wanted a pair of ducks (that weren't doubleknee & they don't do anything for me really. i might appreciate them more as the weather warms up a bit. when ever i get around to wearing i'll post a flick.)

[eyeq8402]

Feel like an idiot for missing out missing out on the black and blues. Anyone with a size 34 that wants to part with a pair pm me. Thank you.

Currently sitting in my office in my Black-n-Blues, which I ordered on the day they became available because I loved the SE-Ducks that I had picked up previously.  Both of these pants are beautifully made and should age nicely.  I would classify them both as light-to-medium weight casual pants as opposed to real heavy work pants.  The Ducks are slim fitting, with a low rise and the BNBs are more of a slim straight design with a slightly higher rise.  Both show off Roy's incredible sewing skills.  The BNBs are probably my favorite non-denim pants, but be aware that they do bleed a lot (more like hemorrhage).
