      mined a few pre/post fit shots. Maybe this can help? Ultimately though, these are from different batches, so take that into account.

      This comment below is not directed at anyone in particular, but just a general statement on sizing jackets; it really boils down to how you feel in the jacket and how you intend to wear it. What looks good to someone may not feel good to you. What looks less good to someone here on an ultra niche nerdy denim forum probably will look just fine or amazing to anyone random, but who cares what they think anyway. You do you.

            @Nostradamion thanks man. In November it will be two years I’ve had it. Wore it every day for the first 10 months or so. Then kind of sporadically since then.

            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...

                Here’s the update.

                I did a soak that lasted about 80 minutes total agitating the denim (total of 4 times) with the hottest water imaginable coming out of tap.

                Pre-Soak Measurements:
                Chest - 24”
                Shoulder - 20.7”
                Back Length - 28.75
                Sleeve - 27.6”
                Waist - 21.8”
                Opening - 21.3”
                Sleeve opening - 4.85”

                Post-Soak Measurements:
                Chest - 23.5
                Shoulder - 20”
                Back length - 27.75
                Sleeve - 26.5”
                Waist - 21.3”
                Opening - 21.3”
                Sleeve opening - 4.85”

                Pics are following:

                        hahaha no joke! With a T-Shirt it honestly doesn’t look all that different but I could definitely feel a little extra space.

                            With all these presoak photos I realized I should have posted mine.

                              It will shrink up a bit more too with a washing machine wash.

                                @Mizmazzle I feel good with it. I wish the length was a tad shorter if I’m being honest but I think the only reason I feel that way is because when I sit it doesn’t lay flat against me, it’s so stiff still that I feel like it’s jumping off my body. Once it softens up I’m certain it’ll be just fine.

                                I think I’m going to avoid throwing it in the washer honestly. I’m still debating on that.

                                  @worn2fade chuck it in the washer now. Ain’t gonna hurt it none. I bet that length will come in another 1/2”

                                    @jpvisual yours definitely looks like a true to size kind of fit. I’m assuming you can’t squeeze a thick layer under that correct?

                                    Looks spot on, I love it.

                                        @worn2fade I think you mentioned having a top loader? That’s what I have. Wash mine in that with no issues. Just be sure to give it a good soak in the tub first to get it fully saturated. Good 30-45 minutes soak.

                                          @Mizmazzle but does your top loader have the long agitator in the middle? Some don’t which are the better ones to use, but mine has an agitator that sticks out in the middle that you don’t have the option of turning off so essentially the denim will be twisted up during the wash.

                                          My brother also has a top loader but with no agitator in the middle so it’s a ‘better safe than sorry’ kind of situation.
