    for anyone who missed out, there may or may not be a freshly returned Large from me on the website right now :).

    Would rather someone here snag it if possible.

          Thanks for doing that @Graham !

          Gives me some good confidence that most or all of the shrink in my jacket is probably gone after its soak.

                @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 Spinning clothes in the washing machine can lead to some very serious streaks and marbling on denim...

                  Top two things when washing are to pre soak and pull the denim out before the spin cycle if you can't turn it off.

                    @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.

                        What Alex said💯 right.

                        I have only soak twice.

                        If I do wash it I will soak it, for 1 hour then wash it with no spin

                          Last wash I threw mine in the dryer 😱 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.

                            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!!

                              @Alex said in IH-526L - 19oz Left-Hand Twill Selvedge Denim Type III - Indigo:

                              Sage advice and a few things to add:

                              1. Denim and care are a personal thing and many tend to do things differently. Sometimes there are successes and sometimes there are failures.
                              2. Can you deal with the failures that may occur when the recommended care guidelines are not followed? Premature wear, holes, streaking, marbling, etc.
                              3. Can you afford to write the item off or get a new one if the item is damaged?
                              4. 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.

                                @goosehd definitely the best and to the point manner in which to deliver these care guidelines.

                                  Well early days going back to year 2013

                                  I done many ways of trying and seeing what happens.
                                  My own experiment 🧪
                                  You get it right in the end.
                                  That’s only way to learn maybe.

                                  What I learn don’t use the tumble dryer, or spin.

                                  Always soak 🛁 before washing.

                                  I know many says I have use the tumble dryer, use at your own risk ⚠️ nothing happens, I did but didn’t like the way the cotton changed or looks. First time and last time. Sold them off.

                                  You own it. Do what you like.

                                  The guidelines are there for a reason.
                                  Follow it or don’t.

                                    Mine is currently drying. Did a hot soak followed by a 60C wash, no spin. I'll add some measurements when it's dry (which could take a while).

                                      Very happy with how it turned out after the hot soak and 60C wash. Fit is on point and I'm at least warming to the concept of these modified, slightly longer denim jackets (now that it's shortened 😁).

                                      Length: 27,9 - 26,9
                                      Sleeve: 27,5 - 26,5
                                      Shoulders: 19,9 - 19,3
                                      P2P: 23,2 - 22,5

                                      This is an XL/42, and post wash measurements seem to be quite close the OD version.

                                      What a great jacket. And this denim is so good. Tight and crispy. The only two problems are that now I want to try some jeans in this denim, and the OD version of the jacket is looking very tempting.
