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

Not sure what it is about this jacket that makes us obsess with beating the hell out of it. Just got back from a backpacking trip. Lugged this fucker in my backpack along with my tent, food, 6 pack of beer, 750ml of whiskey, sleeping bag, etc. for 6 miles…just to get some more fades in the cold mountain air at night. Gathering wood and chugging booze by the fire does the trick!
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...

@Kasi Dude - you make this jacket look even sicker and more attractive than ever!! Loving it
-
@Jcaz6996 Epic!
Cannot get enough of it 
-
@Jcaz6996 very cool dude!
-
@Daniel-San good point!! More beer means better fades and massive sexy calf muscles. Good thing it’s only the start of backpacking season!!
-
@Mizmazzle wow
-
Just found a Brand new lefty, chest measurement looks weird but had to give it a go... Can't wait for the arrival
-
@Fades-for-future Congrats man!! Hope you love it!! what's the deal with the chest measurement?
-
@Fades-for-future envious in the most positive way! Enjoy this beauty!
-
@Mizmazzle Cheers man, seems quit small for a 42 but shoulders and lenght are nice, if it will shrink a lot it won't fit i guess. Might do just a luke warm water soak....
@Aetas thank you, really hope the jacket fits... Will post pics here when i got the beast to keep you guys updated
-
Lefty arrived today, lenght and shoulder is perfect right out of the bag, bit tight on the body when closed but okay... How much shrinkage can i expect with a luke warm water soak? If it shrinks much i guess the jacket is to tight
-
@Fades-for-future maybe stick to a cold soak?
-
I did a cold soak with no agitation other than putting it in the water and removing it and got almost an inch lost in the length dimensions. The widths shrunk a little bit it seems to have molded and stretched a little where it was put under tension back to pre soak dims. I documented numbers in here somewhere and the shrink test done by IH confirmed I likely got all the shrink out.
Personally, I'd keep that one you're wearing for a traditional snug fit, it looks like you could stand to lose some body length. The next size up would work too if you want to layer it. Fwiw, I still layer an IH hoodie under mine.
-
@Fades-for-future The fit looks good.
-
Thanks guys @Oaktavia @pechelman @twin , i might do only a cold water soak. Pretty happy with the fit, got some room in the shoulders, arms and arm lenght.... I think i will keep it, a size up would be to big for me as i tryd and i'm still on my way to loose some weight wich i already did (7kg) ....
-
@Fades-for-future that is what I would do, good buddy.

@Fades-for-future lol my ADHD only allowed my brain to read the first part of your comment, the cold soak lol my bad
