IH-526L - 19oz Left-Hand Twill Selvedge Denim Type III - Indigo
-
Were the previous iterations of this always totally unsanforized? I thought they were one washed.
-
@Davids_denim hate to miss this one again but maybe I’ll follow in your footsteps again a couple years down the road

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

@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.

I have this in the OD and a 526pj but the fomo is crawling all over me....
-
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:
- Size this jacket based on where it will end up after you wash it.
- 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.
- 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.
In the easy chair with my boots on, melted whiskey in my hand. Could'na been asleep for more than three hours...time to go to work again...

@GTPowers totally understand, do what you gotta do. Excited to see the damage you do to the SEXIH25

I’m very confused about the sizing and washing on these. I bought mine in January of 2022 direct from IHUK, I do not remember any mention of shrink to fit or being unwashed. I looked online, Self Edge and Weathered Fig still describe these as one washed but unsanfordized. Are these new ones different than previous batches?
-
@nrtphotos. The 19L was always one washed and unsanforized. That hasn't changed. And because is no sanforized there is some shrinkage left and all depends how you will wash it. A cold soak will yield a small amount of shrinkage amd a really hot soak or wash will make it shrink a bit more.

This was my exact question. I have this jacket from a couple years ago and I thought it was sold as one washed. Perhaps this re stock they aren't doing the one wash? Mine has been washed once and tightened up but hasn't shrunk as much as others here. Maybe over subsequent washes it will shrink more.

@ShopatIronHeart Need some clarification here, please.
-
I could see the guys leaving a general store 150 years ago. "So are you gonna do a warm soak or what?"
-
The 19L fabric is once washed and unsanforized with no sewing usually done by sanforizarion. That is the reason why the pants of the same fabric get leg twist or skew. So yes there is some shrinkage left and it depends on how hot you are planning to wash it.
