      @Vickt I agree, I also think this is the only type III I'll need until it falls apart. I've had mine about a year and it's had 2 washes. Fades are starting, denim softened a little, and indigo still quite dark with contrast lighter blue fades. Beautiful jacket. Super cute little one too!

        Your fit is spot on.  I'm surprised the length on the sleeve isn't overly long on you because i's pretty long on mine.  I've been trying my best to tame this jacket, but it's one tough SOB

                        Does anyone on here have a XXXXL? I'm thinking that would be good because the XXXL would be a little too tight after .5 in of shrink. Unless I'm blind I haven't seen measurements for that size posted.

                          You’re not blind,but there are XXXXL measurements for the Overdyed version of this jacket,which may or may not help you.

                            @Jett129 That is helpful. Thanks! I don't know if I would be able to get that much shrinkage out of this because I don't wash my denim unless it stinks to high heaven.

                              So just wash it and dry it when you first get it and then you’ll be good to go.

                                There is very little shrinkage (if any) to be had in this denim. Whatever there is will be removed in the OD version because of the overdying process.

                                  I remember the V1 edition of it had a considerable amount of shrinkage left in it and judging by the OD measurements you can squeeze quite a lot out of the new one as well with a harsh wash. Though, I doubt one can reach the same results with domestic washing methods. The product page estimates half an inch shrinkage which seems about right.
                                  BTW I think the Crew simply didn't have the time to upload the 4XL measurements yet and they will follow ASAP.

                                      My 666’s in the V2 haven’t shrunk. Only been machine washed on 40C though so a hot wash may do something more.

                                          Not even in length? That's good to know as I intend to snag a 19L pair in the future (although there's always other stuff that's more important on my wishlist). This denim is very intriguing, though.

                                            ^^^^^ This.  I did 2 initial hot soaks and there was small amount of shrinkage.  I'd say like half a size.
