      Thought of sharing an update 4 days in:

      Took it to Beirut with me last weekend and wore it 4 days straight (indoor and outdoor). The weather was cool (17 Co) and a partially cloudy. It was also hunting season apparently. All in all a great time to wear duck.
      Happy to find out that with size XL, I could wear a heavy sweater underneath without compromising the fit or comfort. I’ve tightened the 2 waistband side buttons to avoid backward flaring and keep the back straight. That made a great improvement on the fit. Also, I’m really starting to dig the short length. It gives the jacket a bad ass attitude 🙂
      With every day of wear the jacket lost its initial ultra-stiffness and felt more broken in and much better fitting. I particularly like the elbow creases. You can already feel that this garment will age very nicely. Not expecting any dramatic evolution, just  a slower aging that will give the jacket more personality.
      It’s not a very discreet piece.  Kept getting compliments and I think it was mainly the colour. An old-school shade of brown that seems to have somehow vanished from the modern-day wardrobe. The Type III cut is also fantastic and works especially well with the fabric. The combination of the duck’s weight and color and the classic Type III design gives it a unique vintage vibe! I read somewhere these were initially supposed to be over-dyed. So glad they weren’t.

      All in all, a unique piece with a very big personality that is quickly becoming my favourite light jacket. Best looking Type III out there if you ask me. Highly recommended!

      Note: I noticed that my leather patch is different from the ones shown in the thread. It is the 666 design with “the Devil Duck 17 oz” added to it. Seems more fitting 

        …My sentiments exactly.  Thanks, Zatenm.

            We have a mix of patches, the last run we used the new Devil's Duck patches…

              Thanks t7acos and davito! It's a real pleasure to rant about such an awesome jacket. It hits all the sweet spots for me and makes me think that one day my unborn son (if I have get married and have 1 that is) will wear it with pride. Til then I'm gonna wear the crap out of it  🙂

                            Amazing Jacket! Unfortunately, kinda heartbreaking for me. Bought it and worn it 1 size too large. Anyone interested in trading their L for my XL? Or buying it for a very attractive price:

                            You'll be doing me a solid, I need to get this in L. Cheers & Happy New Year!
