IH-526PJ - 21oz Selvedge Denim Modified Type III Jacket - Indigo

[Mac0607]

Picked one of these up during the last drop, never owned an Iron Heart jacket or any selvedge denim jacket period. Should I have soaked it before starting the breaking in process? I’ve been wearing it pretty heavily for about a week and it’s really starting to mould to my body, just wondering if maybe I should
toss it in the tub for a few minutes.

@Mac0607 No reason to soak and you will be fine as you are. Enjoy the jacket!

[seawolf]

@Mac0607 I always wash my clothes when they’re new to get the initial creases out from being folded up and to get some of the newness out, but @goosehd is absolutely right, it’s not necessary at all. I just do it for me.

Went down a tag size due to weight loss. Was a bit scary making the call, but I’m glad I did. Here I am at 6ft and 190lbs, wearing an XL. Being a Canadian, I must say this tuxedo is looking good.

The man in brown dropped this off today.

Wearing this comfortable beast every morning on our walks because It’s cooler here in the AM.

The Arms still have creases from being folded while shipped.

Quick question: Is it okay to use a little portable steamer I have to get the creases out?

[sabergirl]

Don’t see why not! Or just iron the sucker with some steam

[seawolf]

@Chibs Steamers are amazing. I used mine for the exact same thing. Worked like a charm.

@seawolf @sabergirl
Thank you both! Going to go steam em now.

Edit okay so I did it. Took a while but it mostly worked.

Tomorrow I’m gonna stream my Sexpood. Sounds wrong, Steamy Sexpood!

[seawolf]

@Chibs it might even help to steam out the creases inside out. Get ‘em down deep!

[goosehd]

@seawolf Fully agree!! Flip it inside out and steam it again.

@seawolf this reminds me of the movie dodgeball

[seawolf]

@68degreesorless Ha!

Does the sleeve length shorten with wear on this jacket due to creases? if so, did anybody care to measure it? Thank you!

[goosehd]

@Biecher The amount a sleeve will shorten due to creases will be different based upon each wearer. There will be no standard amount of shortening.

[Biecher]

@goosehd yes, sure depends heavily on the arm circumference I guess. But talking about the fabric, does it hold the creases or is it too soft?
Ideally my sleeves could be 2cm shorter to my taste, but it’s very similar to many pictures here in the thread. Almost 1/3 of my hands are covered. Size L would fit perfect on the sleeve (new, but maybe with creases too short), but it’s tight on the chest. Open it would work, with a t shirt only it would also work, but the shop recommended me a XL to layer something and have some room for future cake.
