      looking way professorial, @Oaktavia. plus wabby on wabby is so class.

      I have a version of this coat/jacket, but haven't gotten any wears in it yet. chore coats are the best.

        @nonikes thank you, I love to wear IH to work and this chore coat almost wears like a blazer. Which version do you have? Brass buttons?

          I have the 120 in indigo. I think the only differences between it and the 103 is that the 120 has snaps and a repositioned shoulder seam. I'm a sucker for wabash. the fades are sooooo good

            @Oaktavia I'm thinking about pulling the trigger but am concerned about shrinkage...im 46 chest and was gonna order 48. How much shrinkage did you actually have? In your opinion would the xxxl 48 be a safe bet for me? Thanks in advance!

              @themage I would go for 46. I am a 46 in jackets comfortably but these chore jackets run loose and baggy. I would have sized down had I known that but I am 6'3" 185lbs mostly lanky. The shrinking did help but not the same way an unsanforized/raw denim would.

                @Oaktavia I really appreciate the quick reply. So helpful to have someone who owns the jacket with first hand experience. Kind regards sir 🙏😊

                  @themage I just got mine yesterday - I sized down to M from my usual L. It's a good fit, but fairly snug in the chest. I'll wear it exclusively open, so it will work for me, but have a good look at that P2P - it's the outlier measurement with this one, and I think the reason it's been slow to move. I'd say my M is a typical L in every other dimension.

                  My first chore jacket, and I love it - as Oaktavia says, it wears more like a blazer or sport coat than our usual short denim jackets, so nice for a different look, and you know it'll fade nicely.

                        @Oaktavia It would already be on the way if it was up to me. The wife had to bring up this ridiculous point that I might have to many jackets?.?.?. Multiple Filsons, Barbour, Flint and Tinder, Iron and Resin etc.. I'm a bit of a fan of waxed cotton and wool. Im going through the appeal process with her now. I love clothes, other guys love cars or fancy vacations. I'm a cheap date comparatively speaking. I've been walking around randomly saying the word Wabash for no particular reason. Between exposure therapy and me annoying her, she might break soon.

                            haha...well hope it all works out for you. Perhaps you could consider selling one or two to appease her?

                              I read somewhere on one of the Wabash subs that 90C could result in maximum shrinkage. So here I am trying out a #Filthy technique to see of this chore coat will shrink some mo. From here it will go into the dryer. Experiments are fun and I'm stoked to see how this goes.

                                @themage subliminal messages like that can be very effective!! I got a lovely wedding watch from the Mrs. that way!! Maybe wabash and wedding watch alliterate enough that you’ll have the same great results!!

                                • experiment #2 for this thread. Perhaps listed as an outlier variable

                                  It shrunk quite a bit more and fits like a glove now. I had it the water at 190-210F lots of stirring and gradually letting the temperature down. 40 mins of that and then thrown into the dryer until dry. From there I wetted the honeycomb area to reset the creases and will wear to bed tonight and to work tomorrow.
