IH-2526J - 17oz Duck Modified Type III - Brown

I agree that it looks like bleach fading. Were you wearing it while working with chemicals at all? If not, then something must have got splashed on it accidently along the way. Chlorine from swimming pools can have the same effect, depending on how much they put in.
I hope it hasn't tainted your view of Australia. I promise we don't go around bleaching tourist's clothing!

damn ron!…doesn´t look that nice at all, on the other hand though, i guess you have to live with it now! i´d throw it into the washer and wear the shit out of it after that!...

@Ronaldlsh, Fking Australia… That'd be right!
Perhaps something like lemon juice from eating fish & chips maybe?
Nothing like that showing on mine either.. -
Damn, maybe. It's the lemon juice from the fish and chips. Haha. Lots of seafood is what I had there, no chemicals or whatsoever nonsense that i can think of.
No worries, RnR, Australia is lovely place.
@FurattoHeddo, they start appearing when i was Australia, but wasn't obvious at all and didn't bother me at all. When I came back, I chucked them into the wardrobe after airing them out. And when i took them out a few days ago, the spots became very obvious. It's like bright orange…
Hope there is a way to remove these spots, but i doubt if there is any...
-
Is it on the left arm? If you're right handed, then the lemon juice theory sounds good. Squeeze a wedge of lemon, get a little spatter on your arm, and since lemon juice is mildly acidic, it bleaches out the color, but so slowly you don't notice until days later.
-
Ok, I got nothing, then.
Sorry, Ron.
-
But i even have it at the back of the jacket.
Table manners, young man… Splashing lemon juice all over the place is just not done...
-
Mr G, do u have any cut off of the duck to do a little experiment? Haha.
I'll have a look when I pop into the office later.
THE GREAT LEMON JUICE EXPERIMENT
Looking forward to this…..

Ordered the XL in brown yesterday
Not a sensible choice given the season but screw it. Couldn't resist all these pics. Great cut, interesting fabric and beautiful colour. It'll go great with my BB or any other jeans (don't like wearing denim jacket AND pants).Just a question on the fabric: does Duck wear in any interesting way over time? It'll be ultra cool if it does..
Cheers

Finally received the brown duck IH-2526J today! Within the package was also a bag of chocolate for the upcoming festive season. Top-notch and thoughtful customer service. Thanks Paula and crew!
Now on to the Jacket. What a beast this is! Out of the blue plastic bag, it felt as stiff as cardboard. Almost literally. Heavier still than I imagined. F*cking hardcore! The color is the main reason I parted with my cash and in real life it looks stunning. Classy, vintage and tough as nails all at the same time. It also had a wonderful 70's vibe that I particularly like.
Putting it on for the 1st few times takes some getting used to. Denim is soft as a baby's bottom in comparison. In it, I felt like getting in a bar fight then going out to pick up some chicks. Yeah!
The fit I think is excellent. I went for XL. I read somewhere that G is 6'2 and I'm the same height. Loved the way it looked on him so I took the plunge. Shoulders and arm length are perfect but the jacket feels a bit short. Wish it was 1 inch longer. Alternatively, I could have went for XXL. Not sure it would have been the right decision though. I've uploaded some fit pics (hope the show, t is the 1st time that I post pics on a forum). Your comments are appreciated!
