    @pechelman yup mine shrunk a good amount and I agree it looks the same as your L presoak.

      @Oaktavia you bring up a great point. One that I’ve been wondering about myself.
      If the fit is close and you cold soak and wear wet to get a form fit, thats an option if one is looking to set creases and get a molded fit? I think this will be the position I am it once my jacket arrives.

      But also, what if it’s just a touch too big? A luke warm soak May get that touch of shrink?

      If it’s a bit on the “massive” side a super hot soak could do the trick.

      Guess my wondering is, a molded, shaped wet wear can still be achieved based on the initial fit and what temp of water to use…?

      In the easy chair with my boots on, melted whiskey in my hand. Could'na been asleep for more than three hours...time to go to work again...

          Wow, that‘s a huge difference! Thanks for the pics. So, did you soak it with super hot water? Or more like shower temperature?

            I blasted it with all the way hot water, hot as my tap went...110-120F is hottest the tap can get.

              Good to know, thank you! Now let‘s see how the jacket will fit and take it from there.

                Just to add fuel to the sizing fire, the XL of this one measures slightly larger in most categories than my XXXL Duck Type III.

                Probably the closest to standard American sizing I’ve seen on an IH jacket!

                  Filthy would even go as far as boiling his denim to achieve an even larger amount of shrinkage. He has it documented well on here but I couldn't tell you which threads.

                        @Oaktavia time to open that hot water heater panel and turn it up lol. Make her 160 and burn germs off your skin when showering.

                          @Oaktavia @Kasi Thanks so much to you guys and others here for sharing your journeys with this piece. I was on the fence when my orders first arrived. The M fit similarly to my previous IH jackets with similar dimensions (except I've never gotten tiny bruises from bending my elbows before... whatever... should mellow out after a cold soak) but I am swimming in the L pre-soak (similar to Octavia's pre-soak photo). I feel a bit more confident starting the hot soak process this weekend. Thanks guys!

                                Decided to cold soak it (no need for shrink) and put it on later when damp.

                                  Decided to soak as well. Hot water for an hour. Just tried it on while damp. Definitely got some shrinkage out of it. Love this beast already 🤙
