Does the hairline duck evolve and fade such as "regular" duck fabric?

@Oaktavia , this fabric evolves, fades and is getting softer with time. But I find it hard to capture…

My son who should wear L, modelling this XL shirt.

@Aetas That is a gorgeous shirt!

@Aetas nice work with the photos. When I got mine I had a hard time capturing the details also. Looks like yours has softened in color compared to mine. So I’d say it is indeed looked faded…and quite incredible.

@Aetas thank you for taking the time to post those photos. Such a neat fabric. Does hairline duck remind anyone of a "brown duck Wabash" or is it comparatively/fundamentally different?

[pechelman]

They're all a little different @Oaktavia

The hairline is the lightest/thinnest of the bunch. It's hand feel isn't as smooth as the Wabash but it's much smoother than the duck. To me the duck breathes the best of them and the 92 the worst as it feels the most tightly woven of the fabrics. My 92 has gotten pretty soft feeling but even still has a bit of crispness left in it where you can hear/feel the fabric moving around. I really need to wear it more. Not sure if these photos help you at all.

Fundamentally different. A Wabash has the spots painted or bleached onto the fabric, this fabric has the dots woven into it.

This is what I was wondering without knowing how to word it. Thanks G.

@pechelman thanks for the photos that helps a lot!!

Seriously time to bring back the indigo version of this (and maybe do an olive version)!

@Giles this is also I think plain woven where wabash is usually a twill right? At least in IH history.

[Giles]

Yeah, good point. Our Wabash is rope-dyed warp and weft woven as a twill and the hairline is a plain weave.....

This just in from @mpukas. Thanks man! Shirt is awesome, as expected! Great texture and weight. Took it for a moto ride around some backroads and it’s a great light-midweight.

pics please @WhiskeySandwich

[Aetas]

Yes, pics please!

[Oaktavia]

That's awesome you found one!

[WhiskeySandwich]

Yup she’s a keeper! Quick wash and hang dry overnight and this thing is noice. Feels soft yet durable with its tight weave.

[Aetas]

Looks beautiful!
Wear it in good health @WhiskeySandwich

[WhiskeySandwich]

@Aetas thank you very much! Take care!

@Oaktavia yeah he posted it at the perfect time, I’m surprised it was listed so long actually. Just couldn’t pass it up for that price and it’s in perfect condition. It’s a great addition, and a nice piece for year round wear
