          Thanks guys, really appreciate the helpful feedback. Sadly I have to agree…I'm returning the duck. Not happy to let it go, such a killer fabric.. I'm keeping the wabash though 🙂 but not sizing down. The chest was too tight on the M. Besides I'm not 100% sure but I think a classic chore jacket should feel like you're "swimming" a bit in it, at least visibly roomier than a normal jacket? The arms look especially wide as if designed to be worn over other jackets. I like it 🙂

          Would really recommended that duck to anyone on the borderline. It made me willing to suddenly invest in 2 chore jackets at the same time!

            A hot ass wash and dry could shrink and evo that bitch in any case 🙂

              That was my problem also, the medium measurements were too tight for my chest, and the large I felt would have been too big for my liking. You will def get some shrinkage with the wabash though.

                  Maybe I'll do just that by end of season to give it some wear. My 1st wabby, should be interesting 🙂 Thanks again or the great idea mclaincausey and ohighyo

                    Yeah mate, fully agree there. The canvas will loose a bit. I also lost a tad on my Wabby doing exactly that. I'm pretty much between sizes in these bad boys.

                    I believe your also right on the chore coat theory. They are worn a tad bigger. So you can work in them. Get your swerve on ;). But not swimming.

                      Also, after I did the wash it didn't seem to effect it's new look at all. Not majorly noticeable anyway.  If you decide your keeping it, you could do the wash first to tighten her up IMO.

                            Fit looks on point. You look a little sick for sure! Feel better soon, and hopefully enjoy tomorrow.

                                        Yes! Sweet mate! Looks spot on.

                                        You still shaking the beige? Or doing the same on a hot wash? I was thinking a good hot soak it would lose a bit too. But I haven't tried it yet.

                                          Returned the duck yesterday unfortunately.. Felt a bit too risky to keep both. That was before the wabby wash though. Still, I wasn't sure the duck was going to respond same way and it could have been very expensive to find out. I decided to hold out for that Award jacket in beige duck instead 🙂
