@Mizmazzle, yeah used a needle-nose plier to widen the holes. not much damage to the finger but a lot of indigo transfer.

After a hot soak.
Wearing only a t shirt underneath. Even managed to button it

Anyone from the latest batch who has hot soaked with the intent to shrink able to take p2p, length, and sleeve measurements? At least that way we can compare to the measurement charts.

I did a hot soak but also washed mine in 60°C @ 400rmp. Shrank quite a bit about an inch on sleeve length and length.
I bought a XL and thought it might shrink a bit so it fits better after washing.

Shoulders: 20.2" (51.3cm) -> 49.5cm
Length: 27.9" (70.9cm) -> 68.2cm
Chest: 23.5" (59.7cm) -> 58cm
Waist: 21.2" (53.8cm) -> 53cm
Opening: 21.3" (54.1cm) -> 53cm
Sleeve Length: 27.7" (70.4cm) -> 67.5cm
Sleeve Opening: 4.8" (12.2cm) -> 12cm

@PJ looks spot on!

Indigo bleed from wearing the damp lefty.

That‘s very helpful thank you! And it assures me that I ordered the right size.

@AtariHunter
I think it will shrink less, but i can't confirm, in a 30-40°C wash since 60°C is above recommendations. Always nice to have options, i usually buy slightly to big and wash in 60°C.

Good to know, thanks for the heads up! I‘ll start with a hot soak if it needs to shrink and will wash it at 60°C if it‘s still too big.

Threw it on again to get the break in going.

[Kasi]

Talking about. Indigo bleeds

Will keep bleeding until then you gotta deal it with wear with dark colours.

[Daniel San]

Size M arrived, fits like I wanted
special thanks to awesome Mr @Graham
now I will do a warm soak and initial wash with 30 degrees .

[pechelman]

That looks great @Daniel-San! Another medium should be showing up for me today too.

Would be very thankful if you could do before/after soak measurements on the length, sleeve, and p2p for yours.

[Daniel San]

@pechelman
I can , but I will do it later. maybe next weekend. super busy at the moment and it’s my autumn winter jacket so no need to hurry

[iammortalcombat]

Just got the size down. Will have to do some movement tests when I’m off work but pretty excited

[Kasi]

You guys killing the wave yep

Gonna be a fly gang…

She arrived yesterday. Impressive how quick it mades it way down to New Zealand.

Did an initial soak at 35deg and got it on damp. Sizing feels perfect!

First proper day of wearing it today and honestly im not sure who is wearing who at this stage haha. Definitely going to take some breaking in but i'm excited.

[pechelman]

Medium landed and repeated the same terrible fit shots.
Ostensibly, this is the right size now, but will it be too small if/when it shrinks? I can button it over a tee and hoodie, semi comfortable through the chest and pretty snug in the torso and hips. Length of the sleeves seems about right to me now for when creases set.

Any last parting thoughts before I request a return shipping label on one?

@pechelman I own the 526 in the 21oz black, indigo, the 22oz od, and in corduroy.

Most of them I have owned for 3-7 years and may have only washed them once or twice. When I do wash them, they are washed in cold water, removed before the spin cycle, and hung to dry. They have not shrank because I have taken efforts to avoid it.

I would rather buy a jacket that fits, wear it, and not worry about if I can get it to shrink to fit.

Just my $.02.
