[Scottystyles]

I'm jealous!!

[zatenm]

Thanks mate! 
I have to say I wouldn't have been even mildly interested, had you not shared that link. Much appreciated

[Scottystyles]

No worries mate! Glad I could help

you might want to size down to a Medium, no?
looks a tad too big imo…

[zatenm]

Thanks for the comment Finn666. I agree it does look 1 size too big. Possibly caused by the duck still being too "fresh". I tried the 531 wabby in both L and M and ended buying the L which was clearly the better fit. Measurement are supposely the same on the 532. I'll measure both tonight and a hopefully post better pics. I'll be looking forward to your valuable opinion!

It does look a tad bigger?? How does it feel? Maybe because the colour it looks bigger??
Looks killer though. Ride em horsey!! Yeeha!!

[Finn666]

size down to a MEDIUM and role with the wabash as Jeff already suggested!…

[Scottystyles]

I think if the beige was a medium it would look mad. The Wabby is a given for a killer choice though.

[tatmantall]

definitely a vote to size down one from me. the duck looks a tad dumpy, sorry mate.

I'm not one to tell people how they should wear their shit, but you are swimming in that jacket

[mvb]

I Am concurring with the fellas here

[zatenm]

Thanks guys, really appreciate the helpful feedback. Sadly I have to agree…I'm returning the duck. Not happy to let it go, such a killer fabric.. I'm keeping the wabash though but not sizing down. The chest was too tight on the M. Besides I'm not 100% sure but I think a classic chore jacket should feel like you're "swimming" a bit in it, at least visibly roomier than a normal jacket? The arms look especially wide as if designed to be worn over other jackets. I like it

Would really recommended that duck to anyone on the borderline. It made me willing to suddenly invest in 2 chore jackets at the same time!

A hot ass wash and dry could shrink and evo that bitch in any case

[ohighyo]

That was my problem also, the medium measurements were too tight for my chest, and the large I felt would have been too big for my liking. You will def get some shrinkage with the wabash though.

[zatenm]

Absolutely. Cheers mclaincausey!

[zatenm]

Maybe I'll do just that by end of season to give it some wear. My 1st wabby, should be interesting Thanks again or the great idea mclaincausey and ohighyo

@mclaincausey:

Yeah mate, fully agree there. The canvas will loose a bit. I also lost a tad on my Wabby doing exactly that. I'm pretty much between sizes in these bad boys.

I believe your also right on the chore coat theory. They are worn a tad bigger. So you can work in them. Get your swerve on ;). But not swimming.
