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.

[Jett129]

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

[Palmer]

@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.

[Jett129]

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.

[Giles]

They should have done and they will

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

The XXXXL measurements have now been added to the first post @Palmer

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.

[Palmer]

Well, I was really unsure about getting a 3XL or a 4XL but I ordered a 4XL. The shoulders feel pretty big… What do you guys think? Should I exchange for a 3XL or do a super hot soak?

[organisys]

Hot soak or wear layers under like a hoody? Or UHF?

Size down

[Palmer]

I would most likely only be wearing a t shirt and flannel or western shirt under this because I live in Arizona. I haven't soaked it yet because I'm not sure if I should try a 3XL.

[spitfiredealer]

size down

[neph93]

Hot soak won’t take out enough. It’ll still be long in the body and arms even after it loses a cm or two.

[Palmer]

Thanks fellas, I agree. I'm going to try the next size down. I can't believe how rugged this fabric is. Looking forward to the right fit!
