IHSH-189-BRN - 17oz Duck CPO Work Shirt - "The UnTucked" - Brown

[americanathreads]

Wore this guy on a long day at work and sweated it up pretty good. Not super visible in the photo but there are those salt residue rings around the pits now. It’s definitely not time for a wash yet… any solutions to spot treat these stains with this fabric?

@americanathreads no idea about salt stains, but I always try a brush on my clothes first and see if that does the trick with any stain or dirt

@americanathreads

Why not just wash it? It’s duck, and not even indigo duck. It doesn’t fade. Also, not washing fabric causes it to degrade more quickly, which we all just accept with denim because fades are cool, but I can’t think of a single reason not to wash duck. Is there something I’m missing?

If you’ve got salt stains from sweating, it’s time for a wash. Just soak first and you won’t get any marbling.

@Go-For-Chill The duck does fade, but not in the same way as denim. Also it can marble. I washed mine in the machine on low spin and it still marbled on me. I didn't think it would do that.

[Nobunaga]

@americanathreads Give it a hand wash. It can marble if you machine wash it. It happened to me. But definitely wash it if you are leaving sweat stains.

@americanathreads Do you wear undershirts? That can help out a lot.

[americanathreads]

I guess it’s time for a wash! Thanks for the opinions.

@jfox1980 I do - not sure what it was about the last time I wore it but it turned out to be a sweaty one.

I know that nothing is planned at this stage but do we think this one will ever be restocked? Or should I go for the western cut next week?

[Chibs]

@WithBongInHand it will most likely get restocked.. Eventually. In my opinion, if that’s the one you know you want, wait for it. The last time these western versions launched I was in exact the same boat and chose to wait. Now I’m Chibs “The Untucked”. It was worth waiting!

[WithBongInHand]

@Chibs ok this gives me the strength I need to wait. Thank you for that my friend.

[Chibs]

@WithBongInHand it’s become one of my favourites and I assure you it won’t disappoint. Eventually The Untucked will have its own review video.

There’s some IH pieces that are so iconic you just have to wait for the OG version to restock. This is definitely one of them.

Easily my most worn shirt since I got it. As a jacket, as a shirt, for business, for garden work, paired with black denim, or blue denim. Stays surprisingly cool on hot days. Keeps surprisingly warm on cold days. It just always works and gets better with every day.

[Rustygate37]

Totally worth the wait.

[1WayTrip]

@weftyarn totally agree. Love mine.

[CosmoSix5]

@weftyarn exactly. Even close to 80 today and it's just comfortable.
