Debut outing in the 634 duck!Absolutely love this cut in this fabric - much prefer to my 888 duck.
I ordered my usual 634 Tag (21 and 25oz sizing) and then the size up as well, and glad I did - ended up sizing up in these and extremely pleased with the fit.
Perfect fabric as the weather is warming up!

@long_john86 Is there any particular reason you needed to size up on these? I'm normally 33 tag (also in 21 and 25 oz).
-
@natefreezy there isn’t as much stretch in the duck (personally I don’t find them as forgiving, so to speak), which resulted in the thigh and top block being a little problematic for me.
I could have gone with usual tag, but it was on the edge, and I prefer a comfortable fit with full ability to move around/squat down/do a mid-air splits

@ natefreezy. If you own a 21oz pair measure it after it has been worn and stretched and use those measurements to get a duck fabric because you will not get the strech from them as you usually do with the 21oz denim and the 25oz. That has worked for me very well on duck.

Thanks guys - yeah my 21 oz worn in measure at 34.25" waist, which is right between the 33 and 34 tag. Maybe I can request something in that range from the actual inventory.

@natefreezy I wear a pair of 666D as comfortably as 21 oz denim in 36 degC weather. I have high tolerance to heat & humidity so a comparison between fabrics may be more useful for your purposes.
-
@natefreezy I think they are great for the warmer months - exactly why I prioritised buying them when I did. For me a great spring/summer alternative if I am feeling a little too hot/overwhelmed to wear the 25oz

I picked up a size 32 of this beautiful duck jeans at Black & Blue in Nijmegen, Netherlands. Due to hot weather I haven't worn them much but so far I like them a lot!

I've cut back on buying lately but received a small inheritance from my grandma and decided that having a pair of these would be a great way to remember her. Luckily Mildblend had a 38 still in stock somehow. I normally buy 36 but measured the waist of my worn-in 21 oz and they are right at 38 so I'm thinking sizing up will be the way to go. Can't wait to get them. Did not have them hemmed, planning to rock the cuff.
-
Damn I love these. Glad I sized up.

@68degreesorless they won’t stretch much at all I’ve found. Size up is good if they are good now. Enjoy

Gotta say, these make great travel pants. They pack nicely, taking up less space and weighing less in the suitcase than their heavy denim brethren. They shed stains almost magically. Maybe even better than denim. Most can just be scraped or rubbed off with your hand. For stubborn ones, a napkin and some water goes a long way. They don't pick up smells too much. And they work better than you would expect on both hot (b/c of the stiffness of the fabric they don't cling) and cold (b/c of the strong wind resistance) days. Shed a bit of rain too without issue.
