IH-526L - 19oz Left-Hand Twill Selvedge Denim Type III - Indigo

[AtariHunter]

I will get my Lefty next week. As I probably will have to give it a hot soak, I was just wondering: How hot should a hot soak be if you‘re looking for shrinkage? The hottest you can get out of the bathtub? Or just 30-40 degrees Celius?

[Kasi]

Lukewarm water that what I did.
One hour should be ok

@pechelman
no I didn’t. Tried on and I’am sure it’s too big.
never get that much shrinkage to make it fit like I want it .

[pechelman]

Still not sure on this thing, took some "better" photos buttoned and unbuttoned over a tee. Fits good across the hips maybe ok on the shoulders and just big everywhere else. Not too worried about the sleeve length but they feel she look very wide to me. Got a little nervous and placed an order for a size down since there were only 2 remaining but waiting to hear back from the guys at IH as well. Maybe this new batch isn't for me somehow?

[Kasi]

Size down, your good to go

I too purchased one of these today. You guys are doing a great job of selling us with the progress pics.

Pretty excited to get it in even if it's the dead of summer. I have the 18oz vintage Type II(IHJ-72?) but ultimately feel like I don't wear it much because of the lack of side pockets.

I go XL in IH hoodies, XXL in workshirts- went XL on this.

Thanks for the advice!

What about the other guys already rocking a Lefty? Did you hot soak it with lukewarm or with hotter water?

[PJ]

Arrived yesterday. I sized one down from my other type 3’s. I think this Large fits perfectly! I had my concern about the length of the sleeves but it seems okay
Would you guys still advice to soak it or just plugnplay ?
Thx In advance
Cheers

[Kasi]

Looks good

I would soak it, what make you happy it your choice

[Daniel San]

@PJ
awesome jacket Peter
think you could even rock size M
I will definitely soak mine before, will make things a little easier I guess.

[AtariHunter]

@PJ

Perfect fit, looks nice!

[PJ]

Appreciate your inputs.
Thx guys

[iammortalcombat]

Seems this batch got a few of us on sizing that’s for sure. Good luck to everyone on their deliveries

[pechelman]

Definitely got me on sizing and also have that medium on it's way. Still not sure exactly how I messed up so bad Hopefully it works and there will be a size large back in stock in a week or so.

Seeing all this excitement on this thread got me to dust off mine and take photos. To all those who just got your own, congrats! It's the best denim jacket in the universe. This will be my third fall season coming up to look forward to wearing mine.

Guys, I'm starting to worry that I also screwed up with sizing. According to the size chart an XL should fit (that’s what I ordered) and an L should be too small, especially around the chest. But reading your experiences makes me doubt… Anyway, will know more next week
