    washed mine for the first time last night, it softened up quite a bit.

    the grey version i haver keeps getting nicer, softer, and thicker (it seems) after every wash, well i've only washed it 3x so far, that one has a much smaller neck and it's one size bigger, so i hope the neck has shrunk a bit on this indigo dyed version - i'll check later today.

    i went with a L in the indigo and an XL in the grey version, both fit great, honestly the indigo if a bit shorter which i like, it's the perfect sweat to wear under a leather coat.

      Really love looking at these, just doesn't fit my personal style. Nice work to those who rock this well! 😘

          Could someone please post some more fit pics?  I like McClain's posts here, but would really love to see some more examples.  Seems like a great piece not getting much love.  Anyone?

            i have a large that's a bit short on me - anyone have an xl which is a big bit on them and care to swap - i've worn mine a handful of times and washed once i believe - was fine in length before the wash, then it shrank up a slight bit. thanks!

              no experience per say, but indigo dipped / overdyed garments usually don't have any shrinkage left in them. on the product page there is usually language along the lines of:

              •Dyeing process has removed all shrinkage

              but will see if anyone else chimes in to correct me or cosign my information.

              best of luck

                @Jesselirola:

                U might be correct about a bit of shrinkage. I think @derivative666  has one I'll ask him.

                    trickhell you might want to sell it and get a smaller size.  sweats pretty much always stretch out, and this has been dyed in indigo so it's probably had all effective shrinkage out.

                    sure someone might claim that after boiling it to hell and back they got 1/8" shrinkage, but it's going to snap right back and then some.

                      Thanks 4 da input @derivative666 .

                      I agree with Ben sweats always stretch out & the dye process usually gets rid of all shrinkage . . . but 2 guys with the item says it shrunk so if u lookin 4 just a hair smaller u might be good.

                      Give us a fit flick.  Way 2 much text about a fit I haven't even seen

                      Hahahaha

                        @grandmasterben you are wrong the sweatshirt will definitely shrink up if it is washed in a machine.

                          Unfortunately,  I don't have your answer. Maybe cold wash air dry but, I am not certain. I would start by hand washing with some agitation.

                            i dont have any ih loopwheeled sweatshirts, but… my regular strike gold shrunk a bunch in the length and nothing really at all in the width and a little in the sleeves.  My indigo dyed one did not shrink at all even after a hot wash and a bout in the dryer.  ymmv
