      From memory I don't think the 21oz does shrink @Johnny Bravvo

        I think a hot soak and tumble dry will shrink it. Maybe just do a hot soak and hang dry to be safe. You'll still get your fades locked in once you start wearing it.

          21oz doesn't shrink. You can boil it and it wouldn't shrink (although you'd fekk up the patch).

            I remember shrinking it slightly with a very hot soak but it stretches back (and beyond) pretty easily.

              ^that is more correct, yes. It'll tighten some, but it lasts one wear only.

                Hmmm. I thought all denim, even rinsed, shrinks a little on the first hot wash. Would combining that with a hot dryer session work? No big deal as I can just layer to fill out either way.

                  When we wash, we don't rinse.  We wash in massive industrial machines, we give the garments super heat, severe stress and a proper seeing too…...

                    All good. Thanks for the expertise, friends. I feel like the biggest glutton for punishment wearing IH gear here in the Texas heat. Really looking forward to cooler weather. With that said, this jacket is modern armor. I'll post some Texas-style fit pics soon. Keep up the good work, mates.

                      The great thing about the 21oz jackets is the way the hefty construction means they keep their shape even though the denim gets so very, very soft after breaking in. Enjoy!

                              Still hoping for a -526J in XXXXL, like 22 in shoulders, 25 in PTP.

                              Sigh, maybe someday…

                                          Finally have sold enough junk around the house to have a PayPal balance to front the bill for this jacket and…of course the PayPal portal doesn't give me the option to use my balance, only a card.

                                          Crud. Anyone know what I'm talking about?

                                            There should be an option to use your balance somewhere. If not, then just remove your card and it will default to your paypal balance.
