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.
The Classic Fit Gold School Chino by Mallard Blueprint offers a timeless look with a classic fit, praised for its excellent quality and fabric.

Reviews
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."

"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 🙏"

Great company
"You all are great! I had an address issue and never got my pants. Thankfully I called and you all re-sent me my order. I truly appreciated it and have been solidified as a returning customer. I stain my pants yearly so I will definitely be ordering more pairs within the next 9-12 months. Love the brand and product. If you ever need an ambassador, let me know."

Purchasing Sedona Sage is a WISE move
"Love these pants. Color goes so well with navy, black, Tan and more. Very comfortable for all day wear and fabric does not look like it needs a refresh. I'll definitely purchase in other colors but will wear this pair in all seasons."
— Diane S. (5/5)
