      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.

              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) ....

                            Soak done with around 30 degree water, light creases set and now ready to fully dry... Man, this jacket is no joke🙈

                              This is the way.

                              With the creases set like that, I found it to wear pretty comfortably almost immediately. It's like denim with articulated joints.

                                @pechelman can't wait start wearing and becoming it a bit more softer... In my opinion the jacket feels more heavy to wear than my 25oz. jeans, maybe cause it's on my upper body and not on my legs🤔

                                  The rigidity is impressive. Enjoy the journey, softer will take a while 😃

                                    I agree that it feels heavier than the 25oz, just because of that extreme crunchiness. My jacket has softened up a LITTLE bit at around 50 wears.

                                    I just got a pair of the 634s in it and can't wait to see how this denim works as jeans. Viva la crunch.

                                      @popvulture I know it's the same fabric and maybe it's just my impression, but in the jeans (I own a 634 ver.2 and a 666 latest version) I didn't find the same rigidity and "plasticity" as the jacket. I love them both but I was expecting armor but instead they are very comfortable and light, any XHS is much more rigid in my opinion

                                          My experience was different. I was expecting the 25oz 634 to be difficult to wear in the beginning and alot of forum members were having a hard time button them up. Never for me. They felt pretty comfy by day 2. My 634 leftie v2 still gives me hard time to button the top button after 2 years of wear. Its interesting how we all have our own personal experiences.

                                            @Luijim78 I've heard other people the same thing about the jeans vs the jacket, no idea why that is! I'm psyched to try it for myself.

                                            I always find 25oz to be pretty gnarly at first, but I feel like it softens up pretty quickly.
