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

[Mizmazzle]

Size large

[pechelman]

Depends what you want but the medium looks better to me.

Also, I took some measurements today and all the width measurements that shrunk that have seen tension are stretched right back to presoak numbers. The lengths are still shrunk as you'd maybe expect.

[goosehd]

In agreement and would go with a medium.

[Mizmazzle]

I def agree the medium looks best out of the bag. I’m going for a more roomy fit this time. Want to be able to button it up over a UHF and have good movement. Based on the IH shrink results and others’ shrink experience and my own on my other jacket…still think large with a good soaking. Tomorrow after work the denim lab is open!

It’s tough, I’d agree the medium looks to fit like a glove but I understand comfort takes priority sometimes. I’m sure the soak will do the Large good- it doesn’t look OVERLY big.

@Mizmazzle

Actually your size L looks quite the same as my size XL did before I hot soaked it (almost 50 degree Celsius) and I‘m really really happy how it fits now. Size M seems perfect on you, but if you‘re going to do a hot soak and if you‘re looking for layering, I would go with the L. I‘m pretty sure it will be spot on post soak!

@Mizmazzle you better be playing a movie for the kids today because your head is going to be in the denim lab allllll day. Looking forward to seeing how you make out

@flannel-slut, God knows I've done that more than once! Don't tell their mother.

This is the way...these jackets shrink enough to ensure a better fit with a hot soak with the large. Mine looked even bigger than your L does before my hot soak and it shrunk to look like your M. The medium would be perfect if you only planned on washing or soaking in super cold water.

@flannel-slut haha. I could barely sleep last night!! I was dreaming of bubbling beakers and indigo colored Einstein hair!! @Oaktavia I was comparing your before after pics to mine as well. I could bite everyone with the specific measurements of all the jackets I have on hand and shrink data. But size Large is the way.

@Mizmazzle looking forward to seeing photos my guy.

Size Large (40)
I just can’t imagine this fitting any better. Looks great with a tee and fits over a UHF with perfect mobility. Right in the sweet spot for me!!

Shrink was basically spot on with the IH shrink test. Lost an inch in length, 1.5 inches in the sleeve including creases, and 1/2 inch in the shoulders. Chest didn’t move. Bicep lost 1/2 inch as well.

Warm soak for 75min with some semi- aggressive hand agitation for a minute or two.
