@the246guy I have a tellason chore coat and I would say get this 100/100 times.

Neat to see that the vertical measurements seem to shrink more than the horizontal i.e. length of sleeve and body shrink more than p2p and shoulder, which p2p and shoulder are the ones that I waffle the most on, also the 600 RPM spin seems to confirm the shared knowledge from IH crew that agitation leads to more shrinkage than water and temp alone

I think it’s about time I grab this one.

[Oaktavia]

Do it!

[Mizmazzle]

@Davids_denim oh man is it ever time! You will love the ride this one takes you on. I think a lot of us will be keen to see what you do to one of these.

[Davids_denim]

@Oaktavia @Mizmazzle this is the motivation I need.

Were the previous iterations of this always totally unsanforized? I thought they were one washed.

[GTPowers]

@Davids_denim hate to miss this one again but maybe I’ll follow in your footsteps again a couple years down the road ‍

[Davids_denim]

@GTPowers one of us.. one of us.. one of us..

Just making sure, this jacket needs to be soaked before wearing? And the measuring chart is for pre-soak?

[Ikeaparty]

@MassiveThighs measurements are pre-soak, you dont need to soak it, some will some wont, the risk I guess is that if you dont and wear it for extended time and then you do, there is a chance the fades shift

[MassiveThighs]

Is this like the XHS where it’s optional to soak?

On IG they said you need to soak it for shrink to fit when they restock it tomorrow

[robinvonbatman]

@Alex thanks for the quick response! I did not saw the updated product informations and my questions was based on the description before it was edited/updated.

@Johnnyutah247 I don't think so but I'm pretty damn sure that this was written in the product description before it was updated for the upcoming restock.

@MassiveThighs. The 19L is unsanforized so there is some shrinkage left. Soaking is the recommended way to go about it.

[MassiveThighs]

Cool, don’t want to screw up with the sizing

[GTPowers]

@Davids_denim unfortunately spent the last of the denim budget on the SEXIH25 T3. I could make it happen but the family car just cracked a flex pipe.

[CosmoSix5]

I have this in the OD and a 526pj but the fomo is crawling all over me....

[FlavourFade]

It's hard but I will have to pass on this times restock. But looking forward to upcoming fit pics of y'all

For the questions regarding shrink and soaking before wearing here is my advice:

1. Size this jacket based on where it will end up after you wash it.
2. You’re going to want to wash it when you get it other wise it will fit horribly out of the bag. It shrinks down like 1.5-2 sizes so you’re not going to be happy with fit pre-wash.
3. Unless you plan to NEVER wash this jacket (and why would you ever want to do that?) getting the shrink out initially is really the only way to go about things when you get the jacket.
