Hmm, do these stretch at all in the thighs? I just measured a pair of slim ducks I have, and it is 12.5-12.7 in the thighs and really a bit tight, I guess 13.3  (size 38 ) could work if it just stretches like half an inch?

[Seul]

They stretch. I can't be scientific about it and all that, as I didn't measure 'm when I got 'm, but they stretch…

Duck definitely stretch less than a denim, they use it as a sail because its less stretchy( from G words) ..what size you have Lucifer, i have 38 but its tad too big with me which i guess i should be fine with 36. Mine were Shortened to 34 anyway..

I'm either a 38 or a 40. I use a 38 in the superblacks, which is a tad bit too roomy, and I have a pair of ducks that are post-stretch about 12.5-12.7" in the thigh, the DevilDuck in 38 is about 13.5" i guess?
PM me if you want to sell!

IMO, the IH 17oz cotton duck is one of my favorite all time fabrics. It's simple, tough and fadez nicely. After wearing my 666D for about 3 weeks (on and off), the duck has turned so soft and sheen. It's settled nicely. I think the overlocked outside seam and the slimmer cut helped break in the duck quickly. I had the 801 and they were barely broken in after 3 months!!

4.5 inches off the cuff, and re-chain-stitched.

The ducks have gone from being great to amazing now they're the right length. The weight feels strong/sturdy, the texture as you've said Mike, softens with wear, but still retains it's canvas-y element. Ironheart perfection.

Looking good snowy, nice combo with red tee.

Hi nerkg, the ducks develop in their own way, fabric gets filthier/shinier and whiskers and combs show up after some good wear and subsequent soaks/washes over time. Check out Seul's or LN's pair for example. Cheers

I'm between these in a 38 or 801s in a 36…  Any word on a restock for the big boys any time soon?
