Arthur Liberty described his ambition when founding the Liberty Company as being “determined not to follow existing fashion but to create new ones.” When he initially set up shop in 1875 on Regent Street in London, Liberty & Co. was a department store featuring rare goods from across the globe. Ultimately, it wouldn’t be these items that made his store famous, but Liberty’s own “Art Fabrics”. These were printed designs inspired by art movements and cultures from across history. With these fabrics, Liberty gave a new context to historically significant imagery never before associated with textiles.

After more than a century of producing these patterns, Liberty has amassed an extensive library; and for decades companies such as Nike, Hermes, and Yves Saint Laurent have teamed up with them to incorporate unforgettable patterning into their collections. As the range of items that utilize Liberty fabrics continues to diversify, the life and story of these patterns will continue to evolve.

The “Duck” in Duck Canvas stems from “deok,” a Dutch word for the linen canvas that sailors traditionally used for their trousers and outerwear. Duck Canvas was originally used in the production of boat sails as the fabric’s thick weave could withstand the elements at sea. The durability of Duck Canvas quickly crossed over into the production of work wear and pretty soon sailors were wearing clothes made from the same fabric as their sails. Today, Duck Canvas is produced in a range of weights, from a 7 oz. that’s used for lighter weight clothes all the way up to an 18 oz. that’s designed for hammocks and sandbags. Duck Canvas has a smooth texture that’s not only tough, but also incredibly comfortable, especially after a few wears. Our Duck Canvas Rivet Chinos are currently produced in a 10 oz. weight, with a 7 oz. summer weight coming soon, for more information on them, check out our site.
