I think it’ll stop being as much of an issue as it breaks in over time, and also that a soak would be beneficial!
-
@Buckeye Sweeeet thanks for the reply, ill look into how I wanna go about that.
-
@Gianny-Boy As @Buckeye says, once you begin to wear it in, I think the issues you're having will ease. You'll get combs in the arms which will reduce the sleeve length a touch and the shoulder 'bumps' you mention will set in.
I would wear it a little bit and try not to worry too much, then give it a soak once you're down the line. It can be tempting to do something radical at the start with washing but if you do it progressively, you're less likely to bugger it up
-
@AdamJ Yea you both are totally right, why rush the journey. I am going to show it some love and wear it about with out knee jerking to anything extreme. I appreciate all the insights you vets have to share.
-
I did try that, felt like for whatever reason the cuffs sat differently from one another. Will get a pic when I can.

Finally had a chance to snag some up close shots of the OD. Surprised no one is buzzing about the patch more, one of these coolest designs I've seen. Beside the 21oz jacket for fabric comparison. This jacket broke one of our hangers the first time it got hung up! Talk about heavy. Fall can't come soon enough.
-
@Gianny-Boy wearing will eliminate the problem.
In the meantime its gonna be like armor -
I appreciate you guys weighing in with your experiences @Jakederoche and @Luijim78. I can't wait until the weather is more favorable to get more regular wear out of this beauty!
-
@steelworker Yes sir its been settling in nicely. Cant wait to put some more wear into it and make it my own. Its got a little twist in one arm which i dont mind, character and all, plus it works out in my favor when im in the office.
update pics as we go!

@Gianny-Boy great to see the Indigo version up on the thread.... the OD is getting the attention it deserves, but the Indigo is right up there with it so thanks for sharing!!
-
@MSav32323 I agree. I think the OD is great and all, especially out of the box, but nothing beats the normal indigo fades to me personally. I'm stoked to see people put this regular indigo fabric through the ringer.

@Go-For-Chill said in SEXIH25-TIII - Self Edge x Iron Heart 19oz Denim Modified Type III Jacket:
I'm curious what to expect.
In terms of what?
-
If it’s a small or medium I’ll take it if it works.

@Go-For-Chill I haven't soaked first hand but you shouldn't get any shrinkage with it being overdyed. Intense dying process removes shrinkage.
