IHJ-72 - 18oz Selvedge Denim Type ll Jacket - Indigo/Indigo

[jstark]

Hey long time voyeur here, thought I'd give a little back, it being Thanksgiving and all (here anyway)…
This was slightly box and a little longish on me. Took a 38 (which fits great in the LHT type 3). I'm 5'11", 165. Actually looking back, I think I'd have been just fine breaking it in without a soak. But decided to see if I couldn't get a little shrink out of it and set some creases. First cold soak didn't do much, so I gave it a hot soak and air dried, then wore it damp. An it's pretty perfect. Really super dig this jacket. Right in the wheelhouse of maintaining a classic type 2 vibe but without the boxiness on one hand and the complete redesign so many brands, i.e PBJ are doing.  The denim is fantastic. Here's some before soak and after. Yes at a gas station for the latter. Had about 40 gallons to kill.

@jstark great example of how a soak can nail the fit. The length of the body and arms post soak give a classic type II look.

The thing about Haraki-san and his versions of the classics is, he seems to nail the timeless aspect. They never stray too far from the OG design DNA, but they never come up hokey vintage either.

Also I dig your wallet.

The amount of shrink you got on this is perfect, especially in the sleeves and body length.

This makes me think the water I'm using to hot soak isn't hot enough. I gotta see about turning up the temp on our water heater

I love how this jacket is evolving. Though you can’t tell from photos just yet, there is some great fading happening pretty much everywhere. At one point I may wanna soak it again to get more shrinkage from the arms, which is my only area of “concern”. I usually keep the cuffs up but I’d like to do both.

Yep, totally agree. Thanks re: wallet. Check out The Blackacre on Instagram (this one done with/for Snake Oil Provisions).

Thanks, yeah I didn't get much out of a conservative cold soak. I didn't do too hot, but warm for about 90 min maybe?

Mine was soaked, but i forget to turn inside out, did it have different result or not ? 

Soaked with hot water, apply mink oil first on patch to prevent some crack on leather that cause from hot water

If you just soaked, then not being inside out is not a problem.

Man, the deep blue of that jacket is a wonder!

Based on the size chart, i think im between M and L. I know it's going to shrink after the first soak, but do they stretch out after wearing?

thank you
