@Oaktavia

Thanks Steve.
All I did soak it from start like you did.
Put the elbow grease into you gets result.
Even then they’re complaining they can’t handle the 25oz jeans.

Try this then talk.

25oz jeans are comfortable compared to these man for sure. But I like the scratchiness of the Lefty, call me crazy or even masochistic...but I like the raw rugged nature of the denim. Makes me feel geared up to the max.

@AtariHunter

Excellent choice

What size did you guys pick compared to western UHFs? I almost always go with the same size as Graham. So this would be an L for me. But if I compare the size guide I‘m not sure if the chest sizing would be to tight on an L (compared to my UHFs, my slubby type II, my vintage 18oz CPO or my 6oz wabash work shirt for instance). On the other hand the shoulder sizing seems just right on an L. What do you guys think?

[Kasi]

Am a size XL

all my shirt are large

Then again check with Graham

[Daniel San]

my advice, size up.
you can’t wear this jacket like a shirt !
this is serious denim armor

[Kasi]

Exactly. What I did size up and soak it in hot water

[AtariHunter]

Thanks guys! I wear an XL on all my UHFs and on my slubby type II but an L on my N1 deck Jacket, my Hickory western shirt and my 18oz vintage CPO. So maybe an XL on the lefty? I‘ll also check with Graham.

Finally got mine last week and I've been wearing it as much as possible (I'll get some images ASAP). I love the 25oz denim so I was thinking it can't be that robust, right? I 'get it' now. It's a beast of a garment, a for-life piece if ever there was one. Did a hot soak and followed the advice some of you gave me. I think this jacket demands commitment but something about the quality of it, you can tell if you stay the course the rewards will be great and that's evident by some of the images above.

I'm an XL is all IH denim western shirts and usually ask the boys for one of the smaller P2P measurements on an XXL UHF. I went XXL for this jacket and found it hit the sweet spot to wear just with a shirt or layer with a hoodie. I'm a taller guy and love the length of the sleeves on it.
