The Duckie Brown Fall/Winter 2012 collection takes an oversized approach to traditionally tailored menswear pieces.
The absorbed pieces within the line features extended hem lines and leg width restrictions by opening up seams to allow for a more fluid appearance. Many of the items within the collection are made of super soft flannel that accentuate the luxurious level of winter opulence that the design house is renowned for creating. There is an intended design distinction between many of the pieces including tightly tailored jackets that are contrasted with oversized pants and accessories. Menswear has been traditionally quite tailored in recent years, so this 2012 collection from Duckie Brown reintroduces larger cuts to help add a much-needed distinction amongst other more fitted items available on the market.
