      @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.

            @yannis I like nonsense cycle. Let’s stick with that

                @Jestre said in IHxVS-T1-DD - Iron Heart/Vater & Sohn 16.5oz Indigo/Indigo Duck Type I Jacket:

                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.

                          Yeah, it's something that Mike wrote a little about on here. I'm more fixated on a hot soak to help shrink the fabric down close to a 42 with the 44 I have on the way. I have more 44s in my closet than the former, but oftentimes I find myself in between sizes on the charts. Either way, I'm stoked to get this jacket in my hands (hopefully) today.

                            The DD has landed! Sleeves are a bit long and I could lose a little bit all over. It's hot soaking now in my tub. I'll hang it dry and wear it damp to work tomorrow.

                            This jacket is insanely awesome. Just what I had imagined it to be. It's damn perfect. I'll be wearing this for the foreseeable future.

                                  @Oaktavia amazing my man. The sleeves could come up and in a bit but overall a great fit. I love the contrast stitching and the flat indigo color. There’s no one better to fade this grail beauty

                                      Hell yeah dudes. Here it is after dripping for a bit. Still super wet and can still stand up. I have it inside now next to a heater.
