      It'll be a tad uncomfortable for a few months at the very least. Mine is still pretty stiff but it can tell it is softening up finally.

        I showed him pics of yours and he said "ok, I get it now!"

        Looking forward to getting there.

          Haha good deal…Mine is still under the one year mark so evo happens quickly with continued wear. I've found that wearing it as much as possible on "wear days" certainly helps. Wearing indoors and outdoors. It feels silly wearing such a stiff-as-cardboard jacket while lounging on the couch but eventually it pays off.

            I saw a couple weeks back you asked about washing it. Have you done so yet? and if so, what where the results?

              I saw a couple weeks back you asked about washing it. Have you done so yet? and if so, what where the results?

              My jacket was pretty dirty…literally from dirt and rummaging around an old garage caked in dirt on the forearms. It just seemed like it was time as the whole jacket looked a bit dusty. I took a risk and threw it in my washing machine on a delicate cycle instead of hand washing it. I just felt like a hand wash would not have cleaned it the way a machine does...

              Once it was finished hang drying, it actually yielded nice results. The fades all throughout are are lighter and cleaner looking, especially in the honeycombs and front button area. Some parts are clean white and the contrast is stronger. The darker areas are still super dark and did not change much, aside from looking more like a dark indigo as opposed to a brown-indigo color.

              I chose a cold wash but forgot to take it out before the spin cycle. No negative results found from that though. It did not shrink any more than the initial hot soak, but I blasted it with hot water when I first got it to ensure maximum shrink.

              The folds and creases set back to where they were beforehand and everything is peachy. I'll post photos of the post wash this weekend.

                        Thanks…I enjoy sharing denim photos and talking denim as many folks on here do. Glad you like 'em. You'll see evo happen rather quickly in certain areas if you wear it all the time.

                                      Definitely glad I went with the soak and wear damn trick. Feels fairly well moulded already opposed to the cardboard box I put on initially
