Here’s mine. It’s fire.
Pre wash:
During wash (40 degrees C soak + 30 degree gentle wash, no spin):
Post wash (with 19L 777’s):
Measurements pre/post wash size M (cm):
Shoulders 47.4/45.5
Length 66.5/63.5
Chest 56/55
Waist 50.4/49
Opening 51/48.5
Sleeve 66.7/63.5
Sleeve opening 13.5/11.5
Measurements pre/post wash size M (inches):
Shoulders: 18.7 / 17.9
Length: 26.2 / 25.0
Chest: 22.0 / 21.7
Waist: 19.8 / 19.3
Opening: 20.1 / 19.1
Sleeve: 26.3 / 25.0
Sleeve opening: 5.3 / 4.5
Here’s mine. It feels great, a little stiffer than the 295-BB like others have said.
Here’s the measurements converted to cm for those that prefer that.
Here are estimated measurements for size M, assuming the same delta % in cm and inches
My b/b shrunk quite noticeably after a 40 degree C wash. I’m curious about the shrinking potential of the i/b too.
Here are measurements pre/post a (very) hot soak and some fairly violent agitation.
In centimeters
Shoulders: 46 / 45.7 cm
Chest: 57 / 56 cm
Waist: 53.5 / 52.5 cm
Opening: 54.5 / 53 cm
Length: 76 / 75.5 cm
Sleeve: 66 / 65 cm
In inches
Shoulders: 18.1 / 18.0 in
Chest: 22.4 / 22.0 in
Waist: 21.1 / 20.7 in
Opening: 21.5 / 20.9 in
Length: 29.9 / 29.7 in
Sleeve: 26.0 / 25.6 in
So marginal but still noticeable, it feels even better now. Super stiff after drying.
In anticipation of the 19L jacket, here are some photos of my 19L 777’s. About 180 wears doing all kinds of stuff. This fabric is incredible. I’m having a hard time understanding why these aren’t more popular.
I converted the difference to percent.
777 isn’t really very tapered at all. Compared to other tapered models from other brands, they are really wide in the hem. 777’s are basically 555’s with a slightly lower rise.
@aimes Sounds good! I would go for it, doing gradually hotter soaks is a good idea. I prefer a tighter fit on type 3’s personally
@aimes Yes, but it looks like it might end up a little tight. What are you wearing underneath? How do want to wear it? Open with a t-shirt? Closed with a shirt/hoodie? You can estimate the amount of expected shrinkage, see my previous posts from around the most recent restock.
I would say too big. The waist will stretch back out again after shrinking.
@VegaS10 I wouldn’t wanna gamble, it’s easy enough to do. Better safe than sorry. Unless you like marbling of course.
Also, soaking for a while before washing will prevent marbling.
I really like the fit of these with the slimmer silhouette. Does anybody happen to have a measurements table still?
@worn2fade No problem! Going by these pictures I would size down at least one size, maybe even two depending on desired fit.
Edit: Two sizes down may be too much on a second thought. Did you post measurements of this jacket?
@worn2fade Don’t go by your shirt measurements when choosing a jacket, they are completely different. My type 3’s are all much smaller in the chest, waist and opening than my westerns or work shirts but it is still no problem to wear the jackets over my shirts. If you match your jacket measurements to your shirt measurements, you will probably get a very loose fitting jacket.
Also, this latest batch seemed to run a little big. I sized down from my usual L to a M.
These are estimates for shrinkage in percent, I think it’s fairly accurate.
