1302-01W - W-Knee Dungaree 10oz Denim - Indigo Worn Wash

The W in W-knee is Japanese shorthand for double, and that is the whole point of the #1302. It was the second pant Post O'Alls ever made and the first one they put a double knee on, drawn off the painter pants of the 1930s and introduced in the mid-nineties as their fullest take on the idea. A painter spent the day on the floor, so the knee is where the pant died first, and the answer the old makers landed on was a second layer of cloth laid over the whole panel. This reissue carries the 1993-style green printed label.

One thing to know about the cloth. The name says hickory, which is what almost every striped work fabric gets called, but this is express stripe, a different pattern out of the same era that shows up on vintage pieces through the 1930s and rarely since. It comes finished with a deeply worn wash, so the indigo arrives with the depth and the softness that normally take years to earn.

Fit Notes: As with most Post O'Alls fits, these have a more modern, boxy cut. Tommy is wearing a medium in the w-knee dungaree, which is normal Post O'alls size. These fit roomy throughout even to the ankle. So getting the waist right is the most important part. We would recommend sticking with your true size on these. Tommy is 5'9," 160bs with a 33-34" waist.
