Taper Fatigue (Navy Ripstop)

This is a silhouette that Earl developed in the 80s initially drawn up as a bellows fatigue style for the Japanese market.It's based loosely on the OG painter pants but with a marginally shorter rise and slightly curved hip vs the OG painter pants. The taper leg kicks in just above the knee and runs to the ankle.

It's a real all-rounder and that is why it's so popular, works well with any footwear, sandals, deck shoes, vintage athletic styles, heavy work boots or modern sneakers.

The leg is loose in the top with a generous rise, the waistband sits just above the hip, not quite as high as the OG Painter Pants. The taper starts just above the knee and narrows to a 16" opening at the chain-stitched hem. All seams are double chain-stitched and side seams are flat-felled. It has the classic four pocket combination of two patch pockets on the front and 2 button-down pockets on the rear.
