@Max:

But if you do, make sure to soak it first, turn it insideout and wash it gentle without too much spin.

@neph93:

That’s the marbling. A good trick to minimise that risk is to soak thoroughly first. Then wash.

Ahh okay, that explains the effect.
Thanks again neph93

Hello all.

I warm soaked the jacket yesterday, I think it has shrunk a little
but still stiff. and hopefully will soften out, after wear

Thank you Dion.

Well being short myself, I did look at the other IH denim jackets, and had to choose wisely in fit wise, and chose the best

That jacket looks awesome on you,wish the measurements had worked out for me,as I wore Lee jean jackets as a kid. You made a great choice.

@Indigohuntsman, great to see this thread getting revived with a new wearer.  The 101 is my favourite IH jacket and yours too should look like this after a year if you wear it a lot…

[Giles]

That is looking really great…..

Hello and thank you wdw.

Your 101J looks amazing, with the shirt you are wearing.
Especially against those turquoise blue buttons.
I'm sure I'll get there, slowly  but surely
