IH-526L - 19oz Left-Hand Twill Selvedge Denim Type III - Indigo

Fwiw it would be pretty cool if the OD lefty continues to proceed the indigo drop so that folks know the max amount and proportions of shrink possible in each batch.

@AdamJ thanks for the clarification and the update! Really good news and I'm looking forward to the restock.

@goosehd I stupidly hit play on that klaxon video and I had a visceral reaction to it. I guess I suffered a little PTSD from my submarine days. Whoops!

[ashigaru]

@pechelman This is actually a really good call. Scoping out OD sizing as we speak.

[pechelman]

Keep in mind you won't get the full amount of shrink per the measurements of the same tag, but it will tell you if won't shrink more than that.

Great news! Any idea if the measurements will be more or less the same like it is already advertised from the previous runs? I'm more attracted to this jacket just because of the fact that these run a bit longer on the arms and body compared to other jackets, hence asking this question.

@the246guy once the guys remeasure, they will announce it here

Sizing chart can now be found in the first post.
Please be aware you may not be able to view the product’s website page leading up to launch, as it will be briefly offline whilst we prepare for the release at 1600 BST on Friday 11th July

@the246guy

We are also conducting a new shrink test which will be posted before launch.

Super stoked for this one, first foray into a denim jacket for me, will be waiting with trigger finger ready on friday think I may have to get two sizes and then send one back, unsure about the shoulders on the XXL

Excited to see the results of the new shrink test! Comparing the new Lod to this, it looks like the XL stayed almost identical in size, and the XXL only shows minor differences too. hopefully good news for those of us hovering between XL and XXL.

[pechelman]

comparing the charts for L and XL they seem to be similar to previous runs where the lengths (body and sleeve) each reduce by more than an inch and the chest/body widths shrink by about .25 to .5". If anything, I seem to recall that the lengths on prior runs didnt shrink as much as this one, but it could be bad memory. Seeing a change in the XL body from 28 to 26.5" is roughly ~5%. Usually i thought this number is closer to 3%.

@Ikeaparty that's a smart move with this jacket as your first! Very slim and long, and it shrinks!

[the246guy]

It is going to be.a hard choice for me between this and the Tellason coverall jacket. Super stoked to lay my hands on one of these.

Updated Shrink Test Results as of July 2025

[V-P]

I had ChatGPT convert the difference to percent.

[V-P]

Here’s the measurements converted to cm for those that prefer that.

[V-P]

Here are estimated measurements for size M, assuming the same delta % in cm and inches

@Bailey @Alex thank you guys for the fast shrink test and posting the results. Can you explain why there is still shrink potential in the fabric even tough it's one washed? As I read it in various product descriptions there are aggressive industrial washing machines in use for the washing process that should eliminate all potential shrinkage. Really looking forward to your answer.
