      This is totally sound advice and well described. After doing exactly this with my jacket, it feels perfect for my body. It reminds me of action figures I had when I was a kid that had rubber/plastic jackets the fit the toy perfectly.

      It kind of sucks wearing a damp heavyweight jacket, but it is 100% worth it.

        “Damp” is subjective. As long as it’s not dry it’s “damp”. Me and @Oaktavia are hardcore. You get what you give as they say

          @adam313 gives good advice for achieving a personal fit. It won’t make the jacket much softer or easier to wear initially. But it will mould to your body quicker if you wear it while damp. Getting it soft and supple just requires wear. There are no short cuts.

                  I've warned my wife that some jacket weirdness will be happening, but she reminded me that the crazy train left the station years ago.

                    This will get worse, I promise. I've been at this for six years yet still found myself in a backroom of the house with a pair of soggy jeans and a car jack recently. I still don't remember how I got there….

                                OK hour or so soak and awkward damp wear plus half a day dry time. I think if someone body punches me in this, they'll have shredded and bloody knuckles.  😎
