      @dert There are options but the amount of length you can take away has limits. In your case, some of your options are hot wash and air dry, hot wash and machine dry (perish the thought), or the most immediate and minimal solution being to spray the entire sleeve with water until undeniably wet (normally this could be done after a quick soak or wash, but since this is a quilted jacket maybe start easy) and then button the sleeve and push them up as far as possible up your arm and then bend your elbows and all that stuff…the idea being set a full range of movement within the memory of the fabric while wet. After that, you might assume the creases have done most all of what they can for the length shortening, but then it's your jacket. Normally there are creases at the pits, at the elbows, at the wrist and slightly up the forearm. My proposal is just to get all those creases set right now (they are inevitable with wear) and see how the sleeves feel...

        In your case, from the pics, there will be creases all the way up, but those can be awesome and unique to your frame. Denim drapes differently on everyone and it's a signature pattern

          Thanks Adam, I agree with all you just said, and I'm mulling it over. I think I may throw in the towel, I'm getting some long diagonal folds on the upper arms (visible on my left bicep region) that I just don't want to live with.

          @The_Bourbon_Denim_Guy looks great in this jacket

            @dert I'm not gonna lie. I bought a pair of 32 uhr just to save for later. When I tried them on after a hot soak I got those same diagonal folds in the thighs. I can wear 28-31, but 32" was a bridge too far.

                I sorely wish I’d purchased a large. Feels too big/too long all around compared to my 526pj. And several sizes larger than my black 101j. Can’t figure it out. If there’s somebody who bought a large and wants to upsize to an xl I’m all ears for a trade. It’s such a beautiful jacket. Sleeve diameter is spot on. Otherwise it’s going back. I’m 5’11”  210lbs

                  Love the jacket. Kind of wish I had a 3xl, but the extra room I want is in the bicep and shoulder, so prob wouldn't help. Can get an UHF under it though. Didn't get a good fit pics today, tomorrow.

                      I have played and prodded and poked mine for awhile now.  Tried it on with different layering combos.  I also measured everything myself based on the Iron Heart “How to measure video”.  Most of the measurements are close to the website measurements, except shoulders and waist.

                      I finally decided that if all measurements were just a bit smaller, it would fit me better (it already fits me good).  Plus, I figured maybe others could maybe benefit from my data, so here you go!

                      So, I machine washed in hot water, medium spin, and machine dried on medium heat.  Inside out for all of it, buttoned.  Took out of dryer, turned right side out.  Inside is dry, outside still a little damp.  I measured again,  all measurements below.  I am currently  wearing it, while still a little damp, under a fan full blast, to set my creases.  All measurements are in Inches.

                      Web - Actual - Post Wash/Dry

                      Shoulder: 18.6 - 19.25 - 18.6
                      Length: 26.8 - 26.75 - 26.25
                      Chest(P2P): 23.3 - 23.5 - 22.5
                      Waist: 22 - 21 - 20.5
                      Opening: 21.2 - 21.5 - 21
                      Sleeve: 28.1 - 28.25 - 27.25
                      Sleeve Opening: 4.7 - 5 - 4.9

                      I really expected the length to shrink more than it did, glad it didn't. I am happy with the final fit, it is now somewhere between an XL and a L, which is perfect. Hopefully someone out there will find this data helpful if they are thinking of doing the same. 
                      Disclaimer These were my results, there are far too many variables to guarentee someone else would have the same outcome, plus it is now unreturnable.

                        I think also your fit is good. If I compare with your buttoned up black 101 I would say almost the same fit.
                        I compared especially sleeves and shoulders.
                        Moreover it is a fall/winter jacket maybe should have bit room for layering.

                          It just feels one size too large overall. I'm also inclined to believe this denim is a bit more prone to stretch than my others, which would exacerbate the sizing woes.  I'm heartbroken b/c I have waited for this to drop for  what seems like forever. I'm praying that somebody returns a large. I know it's a long shot.  I'm thankful for the IH return policy and the staff. As usual, Adam has been very helpful. I hate to return things but at this price, for me anyway, it has to be perfect.

                                  Comfort is paramount, for me, and a huge part of that is how a piece feels. You did the right thing if it was going to bug you, @ton312.

                                  Good news on the re-run. I’ve a feeling this will be added to the “ones that got away”.

                                    I second this. It looks good to me, and could be a useful layer piece. It does boil down to your personal preference though.

                                      I’m certain I could layer under a large as well. But wouldn’t have nearly the excess material without a layer underneath. I’ll just keep refreshing the page with hopes a L has been returned. LOL. It could happen!

                                          Using my fav UHF to break in the jacket for a little more room, like I did for my OD. The only parts that fit snug are the stitching around my armpits(but only when both arms are far forward) and my fat guy. I plan on losing my gut eventually, till I lose some, won't be buttoning it up ha.
