IH-2526J - 17oz Duck Modified Type III - Brown

[Friday]

Looks spot on imo… unless you're thinking of doing heavy layering.. if not.. XL perfecto!!!

[ronaldlsh]

Good look there finn.

I have some orange spots all over my duck, and I have no idea what the hell are they. Any body experienced such issues on theirs?

[Jordan23]

Yeah, Rafa this fits perfect!

[Giles]

Sounds like a mild bleaching agent of some kind…..

None here m8.. mine still going strong…

[Finn666]

thanks a lot y'all!
I really like the look and feel of the XL. the fit with just a t is perfect as heck and I'm also able to fit a thinner flannel under it! so perfect all around 

[ronaldlsh]

The duck has not touch water ever since I bought them. So I really have no freaking idea what got onto them. This only start happening after I come back from Australia.

I really love the duck, and now I'm really sad that this is happening.

[FurattoHeddo]

This appeared out of nowhere just like that?

I agree that it looks like bleach fading. Were you wearing it while working with chemicals at all? If not, then something must have got splashed on it accidently along the way. Chlorine from swimming pools can have the same effect, depending on how much they put in.

I hope it hasn't tainted your view of Australia. I promise we don't go around bleaching tourist's clothing!

[Finn666]

damn ron!…doesn´t look that nice at all, on the other hand though, i guess you have to live with it now! i´d throw it into the washer and wear the shit out of it after that!...

shit, just trying to picture that

@Ronaldlsh, Fking Australia… That'd be right!
Perhaps something like lemon juice from eating fish & chips maybe?
Nothing like that showing on mine either..

[ronaldlsh]

Damn, maybe. It's the lemon juice from the fish and chips. Haha. Lots of seafood is what I had there, no chemicals or whatsoever nonsense that i can think of.

No worries, RnR, Australia is lovely place.

@FurattoHeddo, they start appearing when i was Australia, but wasn't obvious at all and didn't bother me at all. When I came back, I chucked them into the wardrobe after airing them out. And when i took them out a few days ago, the spots became very obvious. It's like bright orange…

Hope there is a way to remove these spots, but i doubt if there is any...

[Chris]

Is it on the left arm?  If you're right handed, then the lemon juice theory sounds good.  Squeeze a wedge of lemon, get a little spatter on your arm, and since lemon juice is mildly acidic, it bleaches out the color, but so slowly you don't notice until days later.

[ronaldlsh]

But i even have it at the back of the jacket. Ahhh damn it….

Didnt know that lemon juice can be so bad for the duck!

Mr G, do u have any cut off of the duck to do a little experiment? Haha.

[Chris]

Ok, I got nothing, then.

Sorry, Ron.

[ronaldlsh]

Hope the spots would be less obvious after a wash, and more wears in the future… Really blaming myself for not washing them after i came back from australia. Damn it....

Table manners, young man… Splashing lemon juice all over the place is just not done...

I'll have a look when I pop into the office later.

THE GREAT LEMON JUICE EXPERIMENT

Looking forward to this…..

[Seul]

Make sure to expose it to the sun after you've JUICED it… That'll help with the bleaching process...

[ronaldlsh]

The Great Lemon Juice Experiment - sounds like a good idea, and something worthy of its own thread… Just to warn the other guys when they are out for seafood...
