IH-526L - 19oz Left-Hand Twill Selvedge Denim Type III - Indigo
-
Been wanting a 526L for a while missed out on the last restock ,found James Dant online has them in stock bit concerned about custom charges
also is there any need for a initial soak ? Description little to No shrinkage .
Do I need to size up? Measurements for size M look spot on and match 526-PJ & 526-SL size L -

Do I need to size up? Measurements for size M look spot on and match 526-PJ & 526-SL size LI would say despite the stupid custom charges, it would be worth it. But that is for you to determine.
When I first got my jacket, I discussed with other members on this thread about soaking or not soaking. I ended up sizing up one after talking with folks here. It was huge on me when I first tried it on. Stiff as cardboard. I hot soaked it as hot as my bath tub would go for about an hour. What really worked out well for me was letting it dry partly overnight and wearing it damp to work the next day. I got shrinkage and it fit like a glove after it dried. It is my best fitting jacket as a result and the fade creases were perfectly molded to my torso and arms. Others on here have shared similar experiences and I highly recommend this route.

@adam313:
Hot wash, but the key is gonna be wearing it buttoned at the bottom before it dries. Time the wash so that a few hours later, you can walk around in daylight and do things in it while it’s slightly damp. If it shrinks in the wash, hopefully the stretch from the post wash wear will stretch it back where it needs to be.

Yeh it is @Daniel San having second thoughts about it now I’ll just wait for a restock I think.. hopefully it’s not to far off.
Don’t know why I love a competition so much
, got a few new Westerns hanging up in my wardrobe I could wear that are New if I decide to enter it.
Probably just stick to beating up this 295-BB and give the Redline Rally a miss.
You thinking the same @Oaktavia ? -
