Crotch-Friendly Denim

Crouch Without Constriction in the 'Ballroom' Jeans

For guys who want pants that can keep up with their active lifestyle, the Duluth 'Ballroom' jeans are the perfect pair to keep you moving. The jeans feature a modified seam in the crotch to ensure that otherwise constricting movements won't have you feeling like your bottoms are a size too small.

Marketed with a touch of humor, the 'Ballroom' jeans call attention to the issue of pants being too tight when guys crouch or move quickly. The seam of the jeans is split open with an extra piece of denim added to ensure that there is no constriction during elaborate movement. Duluth has marketed the pants with the slogan 'Room to Crouch Without Singing Soprano' to express that the pants won't be too tight down there when you're moving about.
