Our “Gold School Chino” is today’s version of what brand savvy college students “discovered” over 25 years ago. Not overthought or overstated, today’s Duck Head remains true to its humble roots by producing garments of enduring quality, functionality, and value without compromise. Made from 7.5 oz. cotton rich twill and equipped with deep drill cloth pockets and industrial grade brass zipper, our design philosophy grows from a belief that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.

Reviews
Fantastic Pants!
"Ordered these pants from the last call sale and they couldn't be better. They fit true to size. They look and feel great. I have had the classic five pocket pants but wanted to try the thicker material on the Weldon pants and was not disappointed."
— Coleman H. (5/5)

Great fit and quality
"Very happy with the Classic Fit Gold School Chino’s. I’m 5’11, 180lbs, average build. Size 33/32 fit perfectly. Aside for the fit, quality and feel which are all great, I appreciate the deep front pockets. No risk of things falling out. Likely to purchase in other colors when needs arise."

Great slacks
"These are my favorite pants! The fit is great, they are comfortable, and they wear so well. Very grateful for Cory Kay introducing me to Duck Head and these chinos."

Classic Indeed
"I didn't want fancy--I wanted classic. That's what I got. The style and cut are timeless and you don't need a model's body to look great in them. Just one thing: I would like the fabric to be a bit MORE classic. I'm not big on stretch fabrics. 100% cotton twill would make it 5 stars."
— Sam S. (4/5)
Cool Khaki Pants
"15 yr old grandson loved his new pants. Perfect size (I guessed). Sizing is true to size. He is happy so I guess I am too. These were popular y e a r s ago. Wow what a change in price!"

Awesome!
"These pants are super comfortable. I received several compliments on the color. They are true size and they make a great addition to my wardrobe."
— David T. (5/5)
"Clicked on Slim Navy thinking I'd receive Slim Navy, but received Classic Navy. Slim Navy doesn’t exist, but needs to be an option. I recall doing the same last year, but received Mallard Blue Slim instead. Customer Service was good and understanding, provided a return on a second attempt hoping it was a ine off glitch. Look at the Navy selection in attached photo. I selected Slim Fit, Selected Navy Blue button, then it somehow flips into Mallard Blue even though Mallard Blue is another distinct selection button. Just manufacture a Slim Navy, not washed, not off color, just good ole Navy Blue like your Classic Navy Blue. Please 🙏"

Q&A
What if I order on line and they do not fit? Do I have to pay return shipping? Sometimes it takes more than one try to figure out the correct size.
Hi Michael, Thanks for your question! We have free returns so if there is anything you need to return for a refund or an exchange you can generate a free FedEx label in our self-service returns portal at https://returns.duckhead.com/. We hope this helps but feel free to reach back out with any additional questions!
What’s the rise on the 34 waist?
Good afternoon Michael, great question! In the 34 W the Classic Fit Gold School will be 9 1/2" in the front, 14 1/4" in the back. Just so you know we measure the rise from the bottom of the waistband to the criss-cross in the crotch area. We hope this helps but feel free to reach out again for additional information!
I have been on the waitlist for the classic fit Gold School Chinos for months. Any chance they will be back in before Christmas, size 40/32?
Hi Susie, Thanks for your question. Do you know what color you need? We do make a 40x32 in most of the Gold School Chinos and they are on hand so I'm wondering if it's just a particular color that we are out of that you need. If you could reach out to customer service at customerservice@duckhead.com they would be happy to check for you. Thanks again for your question!
