I can confirm some arm-twisting going on at the RH side...

@Setanta brohem!!! That right there is exactly how a type 3 should fit!!
Thank you kindly! I wasn't sure at first... but thanks to Josh at IH for sorting me out correctly! Next time I will have to include my dog in the pic, which looks a lot like yours!

@Mizmazzle yeh mon almost two years old
and just to keep this Lefty-related..

@Graham good to know!
Just a thought though, I feel like a shrink test using a regular spin cycle is more likely to yield results more in line with what the average consumer will experience when washing this jacket.
I consider myself seriously into this stuff, but still groan at the idea of washing a jacket with no spin and waiting 2ish days for it to fully drip dry...

@T4920 I understand your point, but I would be groaning way more if I ruined my jacket by washing it too aggressively. We use some logic when determining how to shrink-test things, and that is how we would recommend washing it to a customer. In this case, I would not be recommending spinning the jacket. It's one of the crunchiest denim we make, in my opinion, which makes it one of the more prone to damage. I also don't think that we should start ruining clothes in the name of science by trying to maximise shrinkage with higher temps or faster spins.

Washed mine with program for sensitive clothing and max. 400 rpm spin. No problem at all.
Wash all my denim this way , works fine.
The MOST important thing is to soak before!! -

Sage advice and a few things to add:
- Denim and care are a personal thing and many tend to do things differently. Sometimes there are successes and sometimes there are failures.
- Can you deal with the failures that may occur when the recommended care guidelines are not followed? Premature wear, holes, streaking, marbling, etc.
- Can you afford to write the item off or get a new one if the item is damaged?
- Is the item available to repurchase?
I have seen on more than one occasion where members are deeply disappointed in their denim after a wash, and almost every time was due to care guidelines not being followed. @AdamJ can give you an example of his jeans that marbled after a wash. He stated that the reason behind the marbling was not following the recommended care.
Others may chime in, but my point is: The recommended guidelines have been followed by many and some of the greatest examples of fades have been by the ones who have followed them. Just my $.02.
right.
but it was fine and only because I have already broken it tf in. Would not recommend for a new jacket or really recommended at all. I took a risk and got lucky.
