      I know it's only my 2 Cents, however I did lose almost half a Size on an 18Oz OD CPO Denim Shirt with a really hot Bath Soak (60° + with Woolite added and agitation).

      This Denim also was not meant to shrink with having been through the aggressive OD process but sizing definitely went down across the board.

      This was on an XL that was just a little loose. And final dimensions were almost right bang in the middle between L and XL averages which worked out to perfection.

      The Woolite heped ensure no real colour loss.

      Hope this helps.

      Mark.

        FWIW I think the XL looks fine, and will be more comfortable in all conditions. You’re just going to get more wear out of it, and be able to layer. No brainer for me to choose the larger one, here. The difference between it and the large is negligible enough that functionality wins for me every time.

          @sabergirl agree with this and I think if you plan to button it up at all I’d go with the XL

            The way the large bunches up on the back like that makes me think it’s too small.

                Fit looks perfect to me @Goz ! How’s your comfort level? How does it feel with a layer or two underneath?

                    I’d say it depends how you want to wear it! If you’re good with just a tee or something thin underneath, then the current fit is stellar. It looks like the right fit to me.

                            @Goz looks really good! If you bought it for the shoulder seasons as a priority can size up but I'd have a hard time returning that one!

                              Still looks doable to me, @Goz . But the real question will be, how does it feel? Comfort is the key. You gotta want to wear it all the time.

                                @sabergirl It doesn't feel bad just a little tight. Question.....will the jacket stretch?

                                  @Goz the terms I see IH use is "it will loosen up" "shoulders will relax". It's a tight weave so.. Had mine on tonight and had my buddies lab puppy "play" biting my forearm and not even puppy teeth were making it flinch 😉
                                  The one thing you know for sure is being OD it's as small as it's going to get.

                                    All denim will stretch a little when put under stress. With a jacket I wouldn’t expect much. Maybe a smidgen at the placket if it strains when buttoned, or the back when lifting or stretching your arms. Not so that you would notice, though.

                                      Still think you can get almost a half Size out the OD in a really hot 60° + bath soak with some Powder and agitation added.

                                            Joking aside.

                                            Previously 3 OD Items that I have bought in XL and I then aggressively soaked with the intention of achieving a little further shrinkage if possible, all tightened up to drop by over a ½ inch in the Chest and a ½ inch in length and sleeve.

                                            These items were:.

                                            • 12 Oz Western OD Shirt. SIize XL
                                            • 14 Oz Type 3 OD Jacket. Size XL
                                            • 18 Oz Vintage OD CPO Jacket. Size XL

                                            Other dimensions I did not measure as these 3 dimensions were the ones that I was hoping for a little further shrinkage in.
