      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.

        @Matty123:

        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

          Maybe so. Maybe not

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

                  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.

                                I think they look pretty cool @mikebarhoot.

                                Lets see some wearing pics with a pair of jeans.

                                  I vote for the paracord for trail shoes and boots. I actually did a swap on mine and my wife's boots.

                                  <break>"mine and my wife's"
                                  or
                                  "My wife's and my"

                                  😞 😞 :(</break>

                                    @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]
