IHSH-422-BRN - 17oz Cotton Duck CPO Shirt - Brown

[Sunnergren]

Got this in the mail today, great piece! More pliable and less stiff than I anticipated. Will be a layering piece for me, and that brings the question;
Have anyone waxed or oiled this? I have an older Filson waxed canvas that is great for moderate rainfall. Just a thought
Cheers!

@Sunnergren Oh snap! Yeah ... that would be something... someone must have tried, surely? (Oh, and congrats on your new shirt!!)

I did a quick search and couldn’t find a record of anyone doing it.

There are members who waxed their n1’s to mixed results.

I personally wouldn't wax mine since it's unlined. It seems relatively easy to get wax transfer to whatever's underneath if it's a base containing oil. Might be a bit better for a dry wax

I've always been curious about the results of someone waxing their IH duck

@ozai good point. It is risky so I won’t do it now when it’s new. Depending on how I use it maybe down the road.

@denim-dawg thank you! Saw yours on ig and that fit was fire.

@Sunnergren Cheers bud - it is an unreal shirt. So sweet!! Take care, bud!

@Bailey and here I was hoping someone in Japan was doing overtime in a basement fixing a certain batch of 6-button XXXL shirts

Evo pics on my 422. It doesn’t take much to fade brown duck evidently. Gonna keep this up.

[Boit]

@Oaktavia agree. it’s such a rewarding fabric to wear.

What do you guys think of the fit? This is an XL, thinking about exchanging for a L

[dirtyframer]

@evilhag definitely go smaller

[hajduk]

@evilhag Keep this size if you want to wear it as a jacket over another shirt, otherwise exchange it for a smaller size.

@evilhag

Since you asked, I’d exchange it for the smaller size. You could make this one work with layers, but I think it’s a little long on you as is.

The next size down should give you about a half inch less in length, and a layer underneath will help fill out the shoulders and should help with the length a little too by pulling it up some.

I ended up waxing mine with Greenland Wax from Fjällräven using o lot of time and a hairdryer. Didn’t really make a big difference in how it looked, maybe a hint darker in color and a bit stiffer compared to new.

Today I took it out in drizzle and left the umbrella at home. First picture after about 10 minutes in light drizzle, some pearls of water and not much going through.
Second and third picture after about 40 minutes and moderate drizzle. Wet through in the front an on top of the forearms. My hoodie was damp on the arms underneath.

Would not recommend more than 1 hour in moderate drizzle or rain in this, but perfect for running between dry places if a shower hits
