      @Mizmazzle no, I don’t think so. I didn’t measure but I imagine it was closer to the size charts.

      I just pulled my jacket out of the wash after a hot soak and a hot wash with plenty of agitation, and I landed on 25.5”, so I’m stoked!

        @seawolf oh sweet dude!! Might even tighten up a bit more as it dries! Look forward to seeing how it looks post wash!!

        Edit: just looked at my presoak measurements. Mine was at 26.75…so I lost exactly an inch to land at 25.75. If yours was near the posted measurements that would be 27.3 down to 25.5. That’s about 1.75” of shrink in the length. Now I’m really scared hahah. Maybe I’ll just never wash mine like @twin

        In the easy chair with my boots on, melted whiskey in my hand. Could'na been asleep for more than three hours...time to go to work again...

          I genuinely think cold wash will be the way to go and won’t cause any further shrinkage. If you wash it in hot by accident, that’s a different story.

            I think you’re right man. Besides, this thing is already getting a little stale. Gonna need a wash at some point.

                          I was inspired by @seawolf and the slight funkiness coming from my jacket…so gave it a cold hand wash. Got a bit more shrink in sleeves and length.

                          Not a ton of noticeable difference in the photos. But to the eye in person, the denim has a lot more character now.

                              Mine definitely has less wear than you guys, but I spent the winter working in it in my print shop so it was due for a wash. Tossed it in the washer on gentle/cold with spin cycle and air dryed outside. I also feel like it shrunk a bit in the arms but the body feels the same thankfully. It's definitely nice and crispy again. Don't feel like I lost much indigo besides the electric blues lightening up.

                                @october-rust nice man! Love how a wash unlocks a bit of depth to the texture of the denim. Bit lighter blue too.

                                  @Mizmazzle even if I don’t wear it as much as I’d like it is my favorite denim jacket I’ve ever owned by far! It’s a shame I’ll have to tuck it away for the summer soon.
