@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...

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

@worn2fade nailed it dude!! Looks money. How do you feel about it?
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.
-
@Mizmazzle For me to chuck it in the washer I have to go to my brother's house to use his machine lol. Ima consider it to just get it out of the way lol.
-
@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.
-
@worn2fade ah yeah. I hear ya now. Ours doesn’t have that spindle thing. That would make me nervous too.

@worn2fade I can easily wear an IH thermal under it and it's comfortable. I personally don't wear hoodies or thick sweaters under my trucker jackets. I like it as a mid layer. If it gets colder than light thermal weather I wear a parka over it. I also agree with you on the body. This model has a long one and would like it to be a bit shorter. I'm overall really stoked on the fit though.
-
@Mizmazzle Ima stop by my brothers later today when he’s home and do the wash. Why not see if the shoulder and length can come in a tad more, it’ll make me a little happier haha.
-
@worn2fade mine shrank a bit more on the second wash and a teeny bit more on the third.
