IH-526L - 19oz Unsanforised Left Hand Twill Trucker. The Lefty Trucker

I'd wear it for a month or so to stretch/loosen it up a bit then soak it in cold water. Seems it can take it @TrickHell

I'd shrink the arms at least, they look a little voluminous

Looking good on ya, the pre-soak-fit is already spot on!

[spitfiredealer]

Yeah a cold soak would be good. Mine got it's only soak in the pouring rain. Shouldn't be too hard to get the same in Ireland [emoji6]

@TrickHell:

To soak or not to soak?

Mine fit a lot like yours did and after a few wears I decided I wanted to shrink it a wee bit.  I put mine in hot water for about an hour and it shrunk nicely to how I like it.

Curious: will soaking this jacket eliminate any of the stiffness?

[spitfiredealer]

I can't see anything other than years of wear getting rid of the stiffness in this thing. I am actually struggling with it to be honest. Maybe once it is colder and I can wear a shirt or Henley under it will be better.

Nope. Just keep on wearing it.

Hi guys! I currently have this http://www.selfedge.com/jackets-vests?product_id=536 jacket from Self Edge NY and am interested in the 526L jacket because now that I've gone heavyweight Iron Heart denim nothing else will do. I'm worried about the fit though; my current jacket fits me perfectly while it seems that this one has a lot of extra length in the arms. What do you guys think? I guess since IH has a pretty gracious return policy I might as well buy and try.

[twin]

Just love this jacket.

Finally back in the UK where I can wear this fine jacket again:

Enjoy, Looks like your jacket loosening up ….Yesterday LA temperature also dropped, so all good!!!

[zatenm]

Thanks @rohitsingh [emoji4]
It is loosening up indeed, which seems to improve the fit. Looking forward to when it is finally all soft and drapy.
Good to hear about low temps in LA. In London it's still like springtime weather - hoping for some UHF weather soon [emoji111]
