Self Edge x Iron Heart Type III = SEXIH22TYPEIII

I can't remember where I saw it, but it helps to put a coin in the button holes as you soak.  It stretches it out a bit and doesn't allow shrinkage.  Don't get me wrong.  It's still brutal buttoning up the first dozen times, but it helps.

My fav method: metal tweezers, put them in closed and open to widen / soften the hole (reverse tweezer action). Also rotate the jacket's (tin?) buttons with your thumb until their denim base soften up, they'll become much more malleable then

@private eyes RAZOR BLADE??? please say it isn't so. There are so many other methods without defacing a $500 piece of denim.

Seriously! Mine were really difficult at first but definitely loosened up since then. I haven't worn it a ton but I make sure to button it up at least once each wear to break them in more.

It's great. I really like the raw unwashed jackets.

I haven't worn this baby too often because Washington, DC weather isn't very Jean Jacket friendly but today was perfect and I also had a day 1 wear on my new DWCxUHR pants so I had to get a photo.

edit: Don't mind the face. I thought it looked funny so I posted it!

@cadence great fit! We will have to meet up and walk out dogs and talk about denim as I live in Frederick!

Also with the button holes, needle nose pliers while damp!
