Own a piece of American manufacturing history with the LC King Olive Duck 5-Pocket Jean. Built in the same Bristol, TN factory since 1913, these are not just pants, they are tools designed to withstand a lifetime of use.
Crafted from a heavyweight 12oz 100% Cotton Duck, these jeans feature a subdued olive shade that sits perfectly between evergreen and granite, making them an incredibly versatile neutral. The "Bristol" silhouette offers a mid-rise waist and a straight leg cut that prioritizes both comfort and a clean profile. Engineered with LC King’s signature triple-needle felled seams and finished with a classic Union Special bulldog chain stitch, these pants define the "Buy It For Life" ethos.
Condition
Pre-Owned – Good Condition.
Status: Gently worn and structurally sound with plenty of life remaining.
Noted Flaw: There is a visible sign of wear near one of the belt loops (specifically highlighted in the photos). This is a common point of stress in authentic workwear and does not impact the overall integrity of the garment.
Integrity: The duck canvas has begun to break in beautifully, offering a softer hand-feel than a rigid pair while maintaining its heavy-duty character.
Care: Laundered according to factory instructions to preserve the depth of the olive dye.
