    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🤔

        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) ....

                      @Fades-for-future best of luck on the weight loss my friend and enjoy the jacket. It's the best T3 in the universe.

                          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.
