IH-531 - Wabash Chore Jacket

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

Absolutely. Cheers mclaincausey!

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 -

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.

Also, after I did the wash it didn't seem to effect it's new look at all. Not majorly noticeable anyway. If you decide your keeping it, you could do the wash first to tighten her up IMO.

What's everybody's thoughts on the duck? I was thinking it would react the same???

Great fit!

Yeah, that fit is spot on.

Cool thanks guys. Yeah feeling worse today Wade. Shithouse Father's Day! Beautiful day outside and I'm flat on my back inside.. Bummer!
The sky and the palm of the hand are the same..

Scottystyles looking boss despite the cold mate! That fit is badass on you!
Finally gave in to your advice and did a super hot wash.. How's this?:
Pardon the serious look -
Yes! Sweet mate! Looks spot on.
You still shaking the beige? Or doing the same on a hot wash? I was thinking a good hot soak it would lose a bit too. But I haven't tried it yet.

Thanks! Really happy with the results
This jacket is awesome..
Returned the duck yesterday unfortunately.. Felt a bit too risky to keep both. That was before the wabby wash though. Still, I wasn't sure the duck was going to respond same way and it could have been very expensive to find out. I decided to hold out for that Award jacket in beige duck instead -
Good fit bud.
-
Duck being a completely different weave then denim, you probably made the safe choice in terms of risk. That thing couldn't fit better now, and hopefully you have the beginnings of some evo as well now.
Did you wash inside-out?

So, to chime in with Zats, I bought the beige and brown as well (yes I love chore coats!!). Sad news is they really are sized larger than the 531 (as myself and Zats have both found out). So i got my tape out and made comparison with the 531, and the 532 has an extra .5" to 1.5" on all measurements posted on the IH site for the same size XXL in the 531. Both beige and Brown measure the same.
To be honest if it shrank like raw denim it would be sweet, but I don't think this is the case with duck.
I fucking love both bigtime but I'm going to have to hassle the big G for a size exchange. As I want them still but in proper size.
I'm posting pics, but I found it hard to express the oversize doing a selfie (Zats I don't know how you pulled it off. Plus can't say Ive ever been into selfies). You can see in the sleeves but perhaps harder to see in the shoulders and chest. Length is also 1.5" larger.
Oh, the joys of Internet purchasing…
