@bluemantra yes friend the arm, especially the right one, will twist radically even more so in jeans, it's a feature that is listed in the description

I figured it was normal, but hadn’t seen it in the description for the 526L. I’m looking forward to trying the 666 in 19 oz lefty

no forgive me, I was talking about the description of the jeans, are you still interested in the 666 19oz

@bluemantra I’m gonna get some 634 lefties whenever they’re back. Once I got the jacket I was like “dammit dude — how the hell did you pass on the jeans?” Haha cant wait…

[Mizmazzle]

I’m leaning pretty heavy towards the lefty legs too…
But also am not sure if I can cope psychologically with the leg twist. That long out seam twisting about would drive my brain to the brink…maybe I’ll pass haha.

Learn to embrace the fuckery, life gets a lot more relaxed.....:-)

Aversion therapy, eh? My wife has some serious OCD...I've got her into some IH gear with the appreciation of the fades and wabi sabi...I'd say i've noticed some overall improvement of her hyper perfectionist tendencies....I'll be damned, though, if I'm driving her new car until SHE'S put the first scratch in it!!

This type III is on the top of my wantlist. Passed on a 38 a few weeks ago on Withered Fig as the measured sizing seemed too large for a medium. (I wear a size medium in Rogue Territory and their sizing is very slim). Kicking myself now though because it sounds like there won’t be a restock until 2025!!

I know. I like how stiff and crisp this jacket is and want it in the jeans as well.

[popvulture]

@bluemantra for sure. I love the crispness of it, and I really love the color. To my eyes at least, I feel like it's the darkest IH denim, and we all know from the pics how much those electric blues end up popping. Rad shit.

@Mizmazzle looking very nice dude!

[Jcaz6996]

@Mizmazzle yes bud loving it

Wanted to pull some guidance from the hive mind. Just picked up a 19oz lefty twill….query before wear: To Soak Hot/cold or let this bad boy break me physically/emotionally and just wear it straight out of the box?

Fits pretty good with out soak and the stiffness doesn’t seem to be unmanageable. Although this is a 36 hours observation.

Is there an option that is more conducive to better fades or longevity?

Hot soak.. wear it damp set the cease

[Mizmazzle]

@cmccrumm be ready for it to shrink when you get it wet. Even a cold soak and line dry will give you notable shrinkage.
If you like how it fits now, you may need to keep it dry. If you have a bit of room to tighten it up, cold water only. If you have a good amount of size to lose, warm-hot water.

I’ve been through shrinking two lefty’s and had to sell my first because it shrunk smaller than I wanted it to. My second one shrunk tons too but I knew that the second time around and got the exact fit I wanted.

[cmccrumm]

@Mizmazzle it definitely has room to shrink. So not concerned about the fit not working after a hot or cold soak. Other than the fit being more formed to the body after a soak, is there any primary reason to soak before hand?

Heard a lot of “set the creases” but not sure if this can be done just by wear, or is it a better to “set creases” super early on with a soak

[cmccrumm]

@Kasi is it better to “set creases” early on in the wear? Or can this be accomplished just by putting a lot of wear into the piece? Are the creases different soak vs non soak in the first 90 days?

[goosehd]

@cmccrumm The biggest issue with soaking a jacket after you have worn if for a long period of time is that when it does shrink, your creases will shift.
