DOUBLE DUCK 634 WORLD TOUR
-
@spitfiredealer and @GingerMagician….........
Is it a mandatory requirement that the 634DD's are washed before posting onwards on the tour?
The reason I ask is that there is no way I can get into a post wash 32" waist.
If it isn't mandatory can I ask GingerMagician to hold off washing them at the end of his leg of the tour?
If they must be washed then I'll give them a try, upon my return, as I am away for Jan in a very hot climate.Cheers, Barcley

Have to say, I'd feel more comfortable washing them. I know you'll be the one wearing them without the wash, Barcley, but I think it would play on my mind during January - I want to give them as much hell as I can, without worrying about feeling guilty when the time comes to pass them on to you. Maybe that's just my OCD talking… I'd also like to bust out a decent camera and get some good post-wear/post-wash shots before posting them.
Layton's call, though - he's running the show
-
@GingerMagician, I understand buddy.
Can I ask that you wash them only once, at a low temp and, if possible, avoid the tumble dryer?
Cheers, Barcley

I would say it's best if they are washed every time especially if it is going to effect how hard someone will go in them if they know they can't wash them.
That 32 waist will stretch out, of that I am certain. Plus as long as there is no drier action it won't get smaller.
-
I never tumble dry @den1mhead and always wash at 40c or lower (unless I'm trying to get a bit of shrinkage), so no worries on that front.
Do you want me to PM you with the waist measurement when they come out of the machine? Might allow me to give them a bit of a stretch before they dry.
-
@GingerMagician ; I wouldn't be able to answer any pm's until 3rd Feb 2016 so I'd be grateful if you would stretch the waist whilst they are drying. Great news that you don't tumble dry !!
Thanks in advance, Barcley -
@den1mhead - what waist measurement are you ideally looking for?
-
@GingerMagician Ducks are in the post. Enjoy them mate.

@GingerMagician, today it'd be 34W however after a month in the sun I'd say 33W

Looks like I missed the delivery first thing this morning @spitfiredealer - was at my girlfriend's place last night.
Will collect tomorrow morning and post up pics
-
Fit pics to follow, but they've arrived…
-
Nice glad they arrived safely
-
Quick 'at desk' shot (cross post from WAYWT).
Fit is good - pretty much perfect in the waist/top block and nice in the thigh. My first time in the 634 cut, so the general roominess will take a bit of getting used to.
Full fit pics to follow when I get a chance…

one of my favorite pair of IH x collabo boots & that shirt looks as it's getting some good wear & almost looks "brushed" now

I know what you mean about roominess but i soon got used to it and loved it by the end

I wash pretty assiduously @madmonday and my dark UHFs (87, 102, even my green 107) have tended to develop that wispy, brushed look from early on. I like it, but one or two on here would no doubt be horrified at the frequency with which they see water.
If there's a hint of odour about 'em, in the machine they go!
-
Belated pics that pretty much show the fit of these, taken yesterday while walking down at the South Bank.
-
Look a good fit mate. How you finding them?
-
Those things are awesome! I need some double ducks in my life!
By the way Layton you put some good wear on these!
