IH-526J-DD - Double Duck Type III Jacket

[Raisinoux]

More details shots of my DD jacket

1st hole soon around the wrist

Also i always have the same problem with my jackets no matter the brand, at the very bottom of the back inside the jacket the chainstitch never last very long, i have good fading action around that part of the jacket and the stitching just get cut sooner than later but only inside, from outside you couldn't tell it's damaged , 1st shot is my DD, 2nd shot is my leftie pretty well worn compared to the DD and as you can see the bottom of that jacket is a mess, i also have a Momotaro jacket worn for 3 years in the same state, anybody here facing the same issue ? It's rubbing against my belt or belt loops only, pretty sure about that.

I'm just seeing this jacket for the first time and holy crap. This is amazing. So sad there is no plan for a restock! I rarely consider buying new when there are second hand options available, but this would be an easy yes.

Shots on front of the purple wall. I have natural light beaming in from two large skylights and a glass door adjacent to this area. It really brings out the fades and how they look to the naked eye.

@Oaktavia really beautiful my friend, I would really like to find one … I love it

[Oaktavia]

@Luijim78 it just so happened that a widow in Germany was selling her late husband's double duck collection. I was able to score a pair of Loom Breakers, the DD Vest and this jacket. It was the only time I have seen a ANY of these items anywhere on resell websites. And I didn't find them, it was @tody. So few were made, maybe another unfortunate soul will pass before we see one again.

Couple pics of the feeble fades on my DD. 8 eight year old jacket…I blame it on two factors:

• hot weather unsuitable for 2nd layers;
• coupled with WAY TOO MANY jackets for a closet in such a climate.

It is still as stiff as when brand new. Every now and then it still threatens to draw blood at the wrist and neck areas.

@Raisinoux love it

[Raisinoux]

@denim-dawg That fabric is evolving sooo quickly, mine is still raw, i am struggling with myself to not wash it right now as i want to see it clean and well contrasted, but i know later is better ^^

[Oaktavia]

It does not get better than this duck I just love it so much!!!

A couple more fade-progress pics of this fantastic piece!

@motojobobo so awesome! Looking forward to wearing mine tomorrow.

1 full year of daily wear on my DD and finally soaked it for the first time yesterday, couldn’t be happier with the result, duck will rest in my closet for winter and come back early spring for one more year of heavy action
