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

@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.

Ok thank you @Max Power

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

Ditto.

Even if only for 10-15mins

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?

Thank you @Jett129 and @UnTucked

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

[UnTucked]

There will be some shrinkage… So at very least, the "Roping Fairy" will visit you!!!

[Matty123]

Ok, I’ll post pics for opinions later.

Thanks @neph93

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

[Matty123]

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
Jammed up.

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.

[Matty123]

@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...

[Jett129]

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

I vote for the paracord for trail shoes and boots. I actually did a swap on mine and my wife's boots.
