in this (denim) world it's not about things you "need" @Graeme
if we all just would buy things we really "need", Giles would be a poor man ^^

How many good fitting Type Is with a patch that awesome in a fabric that special do you know? See.

The fabric bleeds a bit.

[Finn666]

are you able to provide pre and post soak measurements? @Max Power

[Giles]

Edit.  @Axel  just reminded me that I wore an XL in the pics….

[Max Power]

@Finn666

Just did a quick measurement in my Office (have no real measuring tape, though) : Shoulders 47,5 cm, Sleeve 66 cm, Length 63 cm. So it didn't shrink much (it's been hot soaked for 40 minutes).

I thought that L would be tight on you Giles, so that explains it.

[Giles]

Yeah, I was almost convinced I was wrong as I typed it.  But I'm 6 hours ahead of UK and @Axel was not up to double check…..

[VaterundSohn]

Yep, that is a damn fine jacket….

So far we haven't seen any single one who doesn't look great in that very special Type I.

And yes, definitely, it's one of many collaborations to come!
Huge thanks again to the crew!

Only on weekends!

For completeness' sake - here's it after the soak. It is so stiff, that every move makes a sound. Can't wait to beat it into submission.

[Dion]

It fits (even) much better after the soak.

[Finn666]

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand ordered!

[Max Power]

^XL? Great choice, you won't regret it.

[theorocks]

@Max Power perfect fit!

yessir…XL it is! let's just hope it'll fit in the end ^^

[Max Power]

If you're still my size - it will. It's crazy how fast the fabric fades, I feel like I can watch it wear off. My white wall also has some indigo stains just from hanging it. I say that with a small concern - I'm not sure wether too extreme contrast is what I'm after on a Type I. But I'm set on finding out.

Nice jacket. I may have too buy one.
