      That mirrors my Saturday to a tee with the exception of the number of kids asking me for money…

          As an American I had no clue about any of this…couldn't even name whoever is getting married and don't care who they are.

          I’m skeptical of this. Unless of course you don’t watch any need at all. In that case I get it. Or stand in line at a checkout counter that has magazines. But you do live in Arizona and claim to never be outside… i guess I believe you  😃

          All I know is Megan's getting married to 1 of them. Wouldn't have a freaking clue which one. No TV, No radio, no newspapers. It happens 🙂

              Any suggestions for a reproofing wax? I was looking for Halley Stevenson's reproofing wax but can't find an online retailer

              Just ordered this thing for the fall

                The reaction to the Royal Wedding in our house is varied.

                Wife - Up at 7, cleans the entire house, perched in front of the TV from 9 to watch the full days coverage.

                Me - When will this be over so I can watch the FA Cup final

                Tom - What wedding? What’s for breakfast? Can I have £20 to spend on Fortnight? What’s for lunch? Where’s my phone?

                Dog - Woof (sniffs his own genitals)

                Winner

                Maybe so. Maybe not

                  Can I get shrinkage if I hot wash and dry the 17 ounce duck 189? It’s too big in a xxl.

                    @ Matty123 I once tried to shrink my black 17 oz duck Type III. I think there's a bit shrinkage possible with really hot washes, but still it wasn't a lot.

                        I’ve found the drier to cause more shrinkage than the washer,if that helps.

                            Du k definitely tightens up a bit, but the already tight weave and it being one washed already means it won’t shrink that much.

                              Yeah, you’ll get a little but not much. If you do wash it hard please do soak it first. Duck can get abrasion lines easily.

                              But how is it too big? As a shirt or overshirt?

                                That’s good to hear. Maybe I’ll just keep this and burn it in the dryer

                                Maybe so. Maybe not

                                  There will be some shrinkage… So at very least, the "Roping Fairy" will visit you!!!

                                      Do it @Matty123 . Throw it over an IH shirt for comparison, your IHSH-193 or cookie monster UHF.

                                        Some crappy pics. Best I could do. This is over my UHF. While it does for over the UHF very well
                                        With room to spare… I don’t know if I like that style for it... I think Id rather wear  it normally as a shirt... so
                                        I’m either gonna size down to an xl or exchange it for a 177... I’m all

                                          The sleeves look a little long,but otherwise it looks like it fits you great. Sleeves on almost all my shirts are long,just have to get into sleeve stacks. Fucking love the brass snaps.

                                            Size down it will be with snaps again.... the size down loses and inch in the sleeves and waist and PTP... I’ve got a decision to make...
