IH-526L - 19oz Left-Hand Twill Selvedge Denim Type III - Indigo
-
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.
-
Skewing!!! I meant to say. My apoligies
-
@yannis I’m sorry but you are incorrect here. The info page for the jacket literally says “ we don't one-wash this model”. That’s the reason for my question, I’m assuming something has changed with this run. I’m hoping one of the guys can clarify this and put it to bed.
-
It could be the case. I am surprised that the jeans of the same fabric get washed once but the jacket is not. I have 2 634's one 888 and both the Od and regular indigo jacket.

@robinvonbatman these are not washed, check out the product link below full full details
I mean, isn't this the definitive answer?
-
@anodyne. Yes it is
-
-
@CosmoSix5 Yes it is clear. The question is regarding pervious runs I think.

This is(screenshot) from the current, sold out jackets page. It's pretty clear?
Yes it is clear. The question is regarding pervious runs I think.

Kinda happy it’s sold out, cuz was thinking I had to get it lol. For the best, No extra denim money rn and working on the lefty OD , as well as few other CPOs, and have the 14oz Type 3 in rotation. Like everyone else too many fade projects. Maybe next run or if one pops up in buy/sell near future.

@meatmarketdenim1 Costing arms and legs and I can't spare them! I need more
-
Can we please stop the discussion regarding shrinking until @ShopatIronHeart chimes in. Thank you.
-
what more is there to say about shrinkage beyond the amazing test they did on this run? This is just incredible and way above and beyond for any company to do.

I think people here are not understanding the question… It’s simply if this run is the first run that isn’t washed - all signs are pointing to this but the boys will be able to give a definitive answer.

@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.
Am I missing something here? One washed means it has been soaked so most of the shrinkage is gone, but there is still some shrinkage to be had.
Unsanforized means it has never been soaked.
Am I wrong? How can it be one washed and unsanforized at the same time?
-
@MassiveThighs sanforizing is not soaking, it's a different process

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.
The newest shrink test shows that the size goes down ~one size if the full shrink potential is reached. I would not recommend to go with 2 sizes bigger.
