      Looks spot on to me now, I think these can look a shade too long but that's just right.

        Thanks for the comments, guys.  Regarding the temp and length of the soak, I've always tried to get all/most of the shrinkage out of the picture from the start.  If an item doesn't fit, I'd rather find out about it from the get go, rather than a few months/years down the line as it gradually shrinks down from cold soaks/washes.  The way I look at it is we're talking about denim, not a cashmere sweater.  I don't want to have to worry about getting caught in a rainstorm, or sweating, or getting dirt on it that needs to be cleaned off.

        I agree that the fit looks much better post soak.  Arm length is always an issue for me, so others in the market for this jacket shouldn't be discouraged on that point.

        gsg - not much indigo loss.  Hard to tell in this pic since it's a blue tub, but hopefully gives you an idea:

        superfuzz, thanks for sharing your experience re: repeated washes!

        Jordan23, thanks!  Those are Samurai S0110XJ.  Unbelievably soft at this point. 🙂

          I know the pockets are a source of contention, but add me to the list of people who love them.  My favorite part is how they're stitched to also form an internal pocket - I don't think this fact gets enough love.  Non-contrast stitching has been suggested as an option to appease both sides, and I think that'd be a good idea for future releases.

          Also, I hate that we're nearing summer and it's too warm to wear this jacket.  Summer is surely the worst of the seasons.

          @Giles - any chance we'll see longer sleeve/body type IIIs in other fabrics?  Perhaps an OD/black or a duck?

              I'm actually wondering if I should have gone with XXL.

              This looks perfect!!! Excellent post!!! Was this stiffer after hot soak? Thanks

                Thanks!  A bit stiffer after the soak.  Overall, not as stiff (or difficult to button) as I was expecting based on the comments in this thread.  Although the second button from the bottom was a bit of a challenge, and in fairness, my g/f took one look at it and the first thing she said was "that jacket cannot be comfortable".

                I do have the IHSH-08SBG, a pair of the SRAW, and some Samurai 24 oz 510s, so maybe I'm just getting used to the ultra heavy/stiff/hard to button stuff. 🙂

                  Thanks, last year I bought XXL and to make it softer soaked and dried in dryer, later when I measured it was almost like L 😞 now waiting for second run, probably go with XXXL and do exactly what you did here to make it XXL!!!
                  Is that ok if I ask you your height, just trying to understand the length of this jacket!! Thanks again!!!

                                      I had not left instructions for which of the jackets were ours and which were for retailers.  Matt erred on the side of caution when updating our online stock.  I think we will be adding some more shortly.

                                        This is exactly what I have been hoping for, a little bit longer and heavier than most of the denim jackets

                                        Just wrong timing..
                                        ...Maybe if I eat cereals rest of the month....hmmm
