I'll have to put it in the dryer or gain 15lbs+. Did your sleeves shrink noticeably?

@CosmoSix5 Yeah, I would be careful as the sleeve length looks good for you as it is. I wish I had taken measurements and before photos ... I'd guess the sleeve length shrunk almost 1 inch? Mostly, the sleeves seemed way too baggy before the hot wash (and a bit of dryer). The jacket was just too big all around, but I'm satisfied after the wash/dry. I also really didn't like the general sheen of it and rather lifeless look of it as was mentioned. I was pretty unhappy when I took it out of the bag as well, but it's a keeper for me now ... not up to IH specs, but that's a very high bar. If you machine wash it, also be prepared for the "Sashiko" cloth patch to fray ... it's not coming off yet, but the edges are quite ragged and frayed up to the stitches. Just like the leather patch, not something I really care about, but if you do ...

@CosmoSix5 Without taking any before or after measurements, I’d say the sleeves shortened about 1-1.25 inches. The thing that was most noticeable for me was how the arms, shoulders, and chest tightened up a bit. The jacket went from loose and flowy to more fitted, which I prefer. Also, I hot soaked and hang dried mine vs. putting it in the washer and dryer.

What's sexier than wet black denim? Also seeing that 34 waist always makes me laugh. 36.5" waist. I'll take that sweet 34 though

Little love for RGT sashiko

Getting back to jackets in the end of the summer…the RGT sashiko jacket looks awesome.
