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
-
@Twistlock sweet!! This is the route I’ll be taking. Curious to see how things go once you put it on wet!!
-
@Twistlock yes!!!
-
The struggle is real @Mizmazzle
-
@Twistlock yooo!!! Is it strange that I can’t wait until I get to damage my thumb too!!?
Did you try sticking a knife sharpening tool or screwdriver in the button hole and twisting and stretching first? I did that with my XHS and never had a problem buttoning them up from the start.

@Mizmazzle, yeah used a needle-nose plier to widen the holes. not much damage to the finger but a lot of indigo transfer.

After a hot soak.
Wearing only a t shirt underneath. Even managed to button it

Anyone from the latest batch who has hot soaked with the intent to shrink able to take p2p, length, and sleeve measurements? At least that way we can compare to the measurement charts.
I did a hot soak but also washed mine in 60°C @ 400rmp. Shrank quite a bit about an inch on sleeve length and length.
I bought a XL and thought it might shrink a bit so it fits better after washing.Shoulders: 20.2" (51.3cm) -> 49.5cm
Length: 27.9" (70.9cm) -> 68.2cm
Chest: 23.5" (59.7cm) -> 58cm
Waist: 21.2" (53.8cm) -> 53cm
Opening: 21.3" (54.1cm) -> 53cm
Sleeve Length: 27.7" (70.4cm) -> 67.5cm
Sleeve Opening: 4.8" (12.2cm) -> 12cm -

@AtariHunter
I think it will shrink less, but i can't confirm, in a 30-40°C wash since 60°C is above recommendations. Always nice to have options, i usually buy slightly to big and wash in 60°C. -

Always nice to have options, i usually buy slightly to big and wash in 60°C.Good to know, thanks for the heads up! I‘ll start with a hot soak if it needs to shrink and will wash it at 60°C if it‘s still too big.
