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.

@Matty123:

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

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

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.

Too much?

[manufc10]

IMO, yes.

I think they look pretty cool @mikebarhoot.

Lets see some wearing pics with a pair of jeans.

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

@mikebarhoot - paracord all day long. Your Scarpas are inspired by climbing shoes and the paracord reminds me of a climbing rope. A great combination IMO

Yeah it works as a jacket but I can see it would be huge as a shirt. Size down one and you should have a perfect fit. What’s the deal on exchanging when you’ve had it pimped? [emoji51]

Another vote for the paracord.
