IH-2526J - 17oz Duck Modified Type III - Brown
-
Ordered the XL in brown yesterday
Not a sensible choice given the season but screw it. Couldn't resist all these pics. Great cut, interesting fabric and beautiful colour. It'll go great with my BB or any other jeans (don't like wearing denim jacket AND pants).Just a question on the fabric: does Duck wear in any interesting way over time? It'll be ultra cool if it does..
Cheers

Thanks for the prompt answer Finn666. Any details on how it evolves? Pics would be great if anyone have some for some relatively advance stages of wear.

Finally received the brown duck IH-2526J today! Within the package was also a bag of chocolate for the upcoming festive season. Top-notch and thoughtful customer service. Thanks Paula and crew!
Now on to the Jacket. What a beast this is! Out of the blue plastic bag, it felt as stiff as cardboard. Almost literally. Heavier still than I imagined. F*cking hardcore! The color is the main reason I parted with my cash and in real life it looks stunning. Classy, vintage and tough as nails all at the same time. It also had a wonderful 70's vibe that I particularly like.
Putting it on for the 1st few times takes some getting used to. Denim is soft as a baby's bottom in comparison. In it, I felt like getting in a bar fight then going out to pick up some chicks. Yeah!
The fit I think is excellent. I went for XL. I read somewhere that G is 6'2 and I'm the same height. Loved the way it looked on him so I took the plunge. Shoulders and arm length are perfect but the jacket feels a bit short. Wish it was 1 inch longer. Alternatively, I could have went for XXL. Not sure it would have been the right decision though. I've uploaded some fit pics (hope the show, t is the 1st time that I post pics on a forum). Your comments are appreciated!

Not sure why the pics turned out upside down.. Sorry about that. I hope you can still make out the fit.

Sleeves and shoulders look perfect to me. How does it feel buttoned? If you have enough room in the chest and the waist, you're fine. I am 5'10" and got the XL as well (mostly for the shoulder measurement), so it is longer than yours. I'm sure there are photos of mine somewhere in this thread you could check. The evolution is nice on the duck as well. Congratulations, it's a great jacket.

That's reassuring, thanks guys. Love this jacket. Gonna wear the crap out of it

XXL

I think the fit is perfect as is, A Type III is meant to be short. If it covers your belt - which it does - you're good to go….G
Short jackets rule. Easy access to gear on your belt and look way better IMO. Thanks again for having these made, G.
