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

          Ditto.

          Even if only for 10-15mins

            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.

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

              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?

                Thank you @Jett129 and @UnTucked

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

                      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.

                            @Jett129 thanks man!  Sleeves are def long. I love the shirt…. if I
                            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...

                              Maybe they have one in that size with slightly shorter sleeves.

                                          @mikebarhoot - paracord all day long. Your Scarpas are inspired by climbing shoes and the paracord reminds me of a climbing rope. A great combination IMO

                                            Yeah it works as a jacket but I can see it would be huge as a shirt. Size down one and you should have a perfect fit. What’s the deal on exchanging when you’ve had it pimped? [emoji51]
