What role does the tuck detail on the knee part of the pants play?
After seeing in the product description that tuck details were added to the knees, the customer wonders whether this is merely decorative or a functional structure that actually helps when wearing and moving in them.
The three-dimensional extra room created by folding the fabric relieves the tension pulling on the legs when bending the knees or taking large strides, enhancing mobility[1].
A tuck refers to a sewing technique where a certain portion of the fabric is folded and stitched to create thick pleats along with three-dimensional extra room. While flat-cut pants easily pull taut across the front knee fabric when bending the legs or climbing stairs, having pleats set at the knee area allows the folded fabric to unfold naturally when bending the joints.
GOYOWEAR added two tucks at the knees of the wide corduroy pants to reduce the resistance that occurs when moving the legs[2]. With the three-dimensional extra room at the knees added to the roomy wide silhouette, you can move comfortably without any catching feeling, not only during outdoor activities like hiking in autumn and winter but also when walking around in daily life[3][4].
A separate ironing care method to maintain the three-dimensional look of the knee tuck pleats after washing has not yet been confirmed.
