      @FlavourFade if you wait to soak now but soak/wash it later (when it needs it/gets dirty/stinks), you risk the dreaded fade shift. This means your fades will likely not line up in the same places before you soaked it due to the denim shrinking with water. And you will still get that shrinkage in length too. Basically, if you don't soak or wash it now, don't soak it ever...but that is not a sustainable gameplan IMO.

        @Oaktavia the master has spoken 🙏 makes total sense. I will soak it once I am back home and can't wait for the results.

          @FlavourFade my RB fit very similar to yours pre soak. Below are pictures of mine post soak to give you an idea where yours may end up.

              @flannel-slut this one shrunk nicely and is nice and form fitting. @FlavourFade your torso has some room to shrink to become a nice fit like Mr. Slut's. I was worried mine would shrink too much before I soaked mine. I think you will be pleased with your results. It will just take some getting used to, length-wise. The only IH jacket I have that is comparable to the RB length is the non-modified 22OD T3.

                Soaked 30 min cold and put on damp to set the creases. It has become smaller but like you said @Oaktavia @flannel-slut it is now fitting better! The length is definetely something to get used to and the sleeves are now a tad shorter than I'd love but anyway. Funny thing is that due to the slim waist I can't button up my 3XL IH type 3 but I can with the ranch blouse in 42. I think this is a result of the boxy fit.

                Please excuse the outfit, came straight out of the gym 🤣

                  @FlavourFade looks great man. It’s definitely a short cut but think it makes for a great spring summer fit with a tucked in tee.

                    Killer with some high rise 888s too to offset the short length… tho you may be onto something with your current fit 😎

                      @flannel-slut thanks man !! I think the 1955s will work great with them but even 555 with a fairly high rise as well are spot on

                        Maybe this is helpful - I think the body didn't shrink as much as the arms - I like the jacket to sit properly on the waist and def. prefer the post vs. the pre soak fit.

                          Agreed for sure, I did this all of last spring. It'll fade like crazy and you will likely notice evo each time you wear it. And now that the shrink is out, you can wash it whenever you need to. Wearing a jacket in warm weather usually requires more washing. Mine got pretty grimey!

                                Yeah I will have to see how long I can wear it once it gets really warm but up to 20 degrees c/68f I will use it for sure. Looking forward to the evo 😎

                                            @Oaktavia I wore it in the house and for a walk with the dog and it's definetely a weird feeling how short it is. Especially with the rigidness because I feel it pinching in my lower back all the time, but it's soooooo cool. A random dude who was sitting on a park bench said "cool jacket" and I think this is one of the very few moments I got compliments for a denim piece 😂
