      Did a warm soak on my 526J-DD the other day to get rid of all the shrinkage.

      Shoulders: 20'' -> 19.8''
      Length: 26.75'' -> 26.25''
      P2P: 22.7'' -> 22''
      Waist: 20.5'' -> 20.3''
      Opening: 21.2'' -> 21''
      Sleeve: 27.6'' -> 27''

      Good to know the DD shrinks, quite a bit if need be. Nearly a whole size in some areas. I might just follow the UHR instructions by hot soaking and washing it. Which would be the Filthy Method as he was usually interested in removing all shrink to avoid the dreaded fade shift. I can hear him saying in my head (you're gonna want to get all that shrink out).

          It makes me wonder how many other long lost, unworn grail items are out there folded in someone's dresser drawer or hanging in a closet. I have found a few older pieces but not unworn ones, so I feel quite fortunate. I will wear it in the name of Mike.

                        @SourPower haha...hoping it gets here tomorrow. I will hot soak it to remove any shrink. I am nervous about putting it through a hot washing machine like I would with UHR. This DD fabric is prone to marbling. @Alex you were ablet to get a fair amount of shrink from just a hot soak, correct? I plan to agitate the water as much as I can. I'll take measurements before and after to test it.

                          Is the fabric the same as the one used on the 634's DD?. I washed mine without knowing anything about marbling in the washing machine and it did not marble. Now I washed it cold and nonsense cycle. Not sure if that matters.

                            No spin cycle I meant!

                                  I've been wearing/abusing this a lot since it arrived.  Washed once or twice.  Looks all sorts of crazy right now, will even out and keep getting better with time.  I included some additional pics from my time in the Catskills while wearing this beast.

                                  I just don't want my jacket coming out of the washing looking like this. No offense to the owner of this one. I just don't want any of that. Not sure if this one was soaked beforehand but it makes me nervous to try mine in the machine no less.

                                    just avoid the machine mate , give them a soapy soak if necessary.

                                        Also not sure if that matters but I didn't realize they were raw so I wore them for about 3 months before the 1st wash. Nothing shifted a bit of shrinkage but every pair I own gets a bit tighter after a wash, maybe lost 1 inch in inseam but no drama .

                                          Shifting fades due to shrinkage it basically not a thing with anything we make, the amount of shrinkage is so small (as a percentage) that it makes TSROFA difference. I see people obsessing about it, but it really is not a thing.....What contributes more to shifting fades, is not having the creases and fold lines imprinted into the memory of the denim before you wash (especially the first time)......Vintage fades lack contrast in part, because the whiskers and honeycombs move every time the jeans are washed.
