IH-2526J - 17oz Duck Modified Type III - Brown
-
Sleeves and shoulders look perfect to me. How does it feel buttoned? If you have enough room in the chest and the waist, you're fine. I am 5'10" and got the XL as well (mostly for the shoulder measurement), so it is longer than yours. I'm sure there are photos of mine somewhere in this thread you could check. The evolution is nice on the duck as well. Congratulations, it's a great jacket.

I think the fit is perfect as is, A Type III is meant to be short. If it covers your belt - which it does - you're good to go….G
Short jackets rule. Easy access to gear on your belt and look way better IMO. Thanks again for having these made, G.

Thought of sharing an update 4 days in:
Took it to Beirut with me last weekend and wore it 4 days straight (indoor and outdoor). The weather was cool (17 Co) and a partially cloudy. It was also hunting season apparently. All in all a great time to wear duck.
Happy to find out that with size XL, I could wear a heavy sweater underneath without compromising the fit or comfort. I’ve tightened the 2 waistband side buttons to avoid backward flaring and keep the back straight. That made a great improvement on the fit. Also, I’m really starting to dig the short length. It gives the jacket a bad ass attitude
With every day of wear the jacket lost its initial ultra-stiffness and felt more broken in and much better fitting. I particularly like the elbow creases. You can already feel that this garment will age very nicely. Not expecting any dramatic evolution, just a slower aging that will give the jacket more personality.
It’s not a very discreet piece. Kept getting compliments and I think it was mainly the colour. An old-school shade of brown that seems to have somehow vanished from the modern-day wardrobe. The Type III cut is also fantastic and works especially well with the fabric. The combination of the duck’s weight and color and the classic Type III design gives it a unique vintage vibe! I read somewhere these were initially supposed to be over-dyed. So glad they weren’t.All in all, a unique piece with a very big personality that is quickly becoming my favourite light jacket. Best looking Type III out there if you ask me. Highly recommended!
Note: I noticed that my leather patch is different from the ones shown in the thread. It is the 666 design with “the Devil Duck 17 oz” added to it. Seems more fitting

…My sentiments exactly. Thanks, Zatenm.
