      @Megatron1505:

      The reaction to the Royal Wedding in our house is varied.

      Wife - Up at 7, cleans the entire house, perched in front of the TV from 9 to watch the full days coverage.

      Me - When will this be over so I can watch the FA Cup final

      Tom - What wedding? What’s for breakfast? Can I have £20 to spend on Fortnight? What’s for lunch? Where’s my phone?

      Dog - Woof (sniffs his own genitals)

      Winner

      Maybe so. Maybe not

        Can I get shrinkage if I hot wash and dry the 17 ounce duck 189? It’s too big in a xxl.

        @neph93 @Appfaff

        @Giles ?

          @ Matty123 I once tried to shrink my black 17 oz duck Type III. I think there's a bit shrinkage possible with really hot washes, but still it wasn't a lot.

              I’ve found the drier to cause more shrinkage than the washer,if that helps.

                Ditto.

                  Du k definitely tightens up a bit, but the already tight weave and it being one washed already means it won’t shrink that much.

                    Yeah, you’ll get a little but not much. If you do wash it hard please do soak it first. Duck can get abrasion lines easily.

                    But how is it too big? As a shirt or overshirt?

                      That’s good to hear. Maybe I’ll just keep this and burn it in the dryer

                            Do it @Matty123 . Throw it over an IH shirt for comparison, your IHSH-193 or cookie monster UHF.

                              Some crappy pics. Best I could do. This is over my UHF. While it does for over the UHF very well
                              With room to spare… I don’t know if I like that style for it... I think Id rather wear  it normally as a shirt... so
                              I’m either gonna size down to an xl or exchange it for a 177... I’m all

                                The sleeves look a little long,but otherwise it looks like it fits you great. Sleeves on almost all my shirts are long,just have to get into sleeve stacks. Fucking love the brass snaps.

                                  @Jett129 thanks man!  Sleeves are def long. I love the shirt…. if I
                                  Size down it will be with snaps again.... the size down loses and inch in the sleeves and waist and PTP... I’ve got a decision to make...

                                    Maybe they have one in that size with slightly shorter sleeves.
