@worn2fade jacket looks perfect. Well done buddy. Let the fading begin!

@worn2fade nice work man! The denim science experiment is one of my favorite parts of this hobby. I’ve got notebooks with almost all my shrink data. A dedicated Notes folder in my phone (thx @SKT ) to document all my pants, jackets, shirts etc with fade progress, start dates, washes etc.

@Kasi one of the lefty king pins right here!

@Mizmazzle Thanks much!! Even though I own the OD version of this model (which I love), I ended up springing for the 526L from this batch, as I found one for a pretty good deal and couldn't resist. Hopefully it will work out; if not, I figure I can always sell it!!

First time taking the jacket outside.

@worn2fade you two look wonderful. Jacket too!

[worn2fade]

Question.......will soaking my jacket twice in hot water take all the shrinkage out of the it??

[goosehd]

@Goz It may but also you need to agitate it for maximum shrinkage. Hot water by itself will not work on its own.

[Goz]

@goosehd Ok I did a little agitation the second time I soaked it. The water was very hot !! I just want to remove as much shrinkage as possible so I don't have to worry about it in the future.

@worn2fade Watching your video makes me think I need this 526L even though I picked up a 526LOD at the last release and it's been too hot here to wear it.

[seawolf]

@Goz Hot water and agitation is about all you can do. Just don't go too hot or you risk damaging the leather patch!

[Goz]

@seawolf OK thank you the water was as hot as the tap could get and the patch still looks decent.

[worn2fade]

@j6550 I appreciate that man, glad you liked the video! I’m sure it ain’t going to be any easier to wear though haha.
