      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

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

        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.

              Talking about. Indigo bleeds

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

                  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.

                            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.

                              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.

                                  Appreciate the wisdom @goosehd. I guess that's why I've been soliciting shrink numbers from folks. Seeing such crazy amounts on some jackets has made me slightly concerned that even if I try to avoid shrinkage I'll still get a good amount. Maybe that's not right with the 19L fabric?

                                  Also, this thing makes a broken in 14oz type 3 feel like a t-shirt.

                                    Haha right!? I've been wearing a broken in 15oz type 1 by studio d'artisan and it feels like nothing compared to this thing.

                                      If you cold wash ( 30 degrees) you won’t get much shrink, if at all.

                                        @pechelman I think the Medium looks good too dude. Like the other guys said in here, if you don't want to shrink it, keep the water cold. The M isn't nearly as small as I expected in your fit pics.
