They are an absolute IH classic. Enjoy.

The Ducks arrived today and they are a thing of beauty. I like the fit. I went for a 36 (which are 35.3). Just need to get them back down to Gosport for a Hem. Might go with the red cotton for the hem. Top marks to the boys & girls in Japan and Gosport.

Quack Quack!!

I need to give these a wash before I send them to Railcar.

Whats peoples recommendations for washing these?

I think I've read somewhere about wearing them in the shower prior to sticking them in the machine.

^ To avoid ugly and possibly permanent crease marks, I would soak them inside out with the shower head then wash @40C on an 800 spin cycle. After the first wash they soften enough that you don't have to do this.

[bryaneidins70]

Great stuff @neph93, Thank you.

@bryaneidins I wash mine inside out on "quick-wash" cold, medium spin, pull them out right away, smooth out the wrinkles and air dry - same as my denim.

[bryaneidins70]

Thanks @Bluegrass. Thats exactly what I did but on a 30 wash.

I soaked mine twice before they saw a machine. Even still I wash gentle, no spin.

[Bluegrass]

and you also wear yours like they owe you money!!    looks fantastic.

[jdl1279]

Ha thanks! They're just a great pair of pants that beg to be worn hard

[jdl1279]

Quick pics while they dry

[jdl1279]

Dry and ready to go

[neph93]

How's the crotch holding up in those?

[jdl1279]

I'm gonna have a blowout, but not likely soon. Some broken threads on and around the seam

[neph93]

Nice. All my jeans that have that amount of wear have had the crotch repaired at least once. First thing to go, always. Fat ass problems 

[jdl1279]

Yeah crotch blowout isn't a huge issue for me. I burn up the thighs and pockets first

Looking great. Trashing a pair of ducks is an underrated experience imho.
