      @jpvisual Thank you for the info, I already soaked it twice both times in hot 🔥 water. It shrank and fits ok I think if I went with a smaller size (large) it may be small. I just want to get all the shrinkage out of it before I start wearing it so the fades won't shift after washing it.Right now it fits good but it's a little roomy.

          I don't know how you're able to do that in Florida @worn2fade.
          Looks like you've got a second long sleeve collared shirt under the double denim?!!

            @pechelman hahaha I’ve gotten so used to it dude it’s not even funny. Yeah man I got a regular white western underneath all of it, we’re celebrating my girlfriends birthday with her friends today and she begged me to wear something that wasn’t just triple denim - this was the compromise.

              Does anyone know how much this will shrink with a cold wash? I'm trying to avoid shrinkage.

                Mine from a couple batches ago shrunk an inch in the lengths just by soaking without any agitation. Water was room temp.

                  So I did my third hot 🔥 soak (for 2hrs) and then washed my jacket inside out in the washing machine on normal cycle......waiting for it to dry hopefully that takes whatever shrinkage was left from the 1st two soaks out!!!

                      Has anyone had this weird point shoulder thing? Does it relax? For some reason one shoulder is pointy ones not, debating if i resoak hotter to shrink it a bit more or expect it to chill out a bit

                          @Ikeaparty I personally don't see anything that's worth your worries at all. Denim jacket unlike condom is not meant to follow your body's curves the way above mentioned should. The shoulder will settle with wear like all denim does and the fit will be ideal. If I was in your shoes I wouldn't torture the jacket and wear it as is.

                            @Ikeaparty. Just wear the hell out of it. When it softens it will relax and drape

                                    @Yoprst haha! I just wish I discovered this forum earlier. Can be intimidating at first if you’re not used to the forum life but after getting the hang of it.. shoot!

                                      @Ikeaparty your fit looks pretty similar to mine. I’m kind of on the same boat as you, I especially don’t like when I sit down and my shoulders pop up from my body but I’m just hoping with time it gets better. I’m a week and a half in and it has draped a bit with daily wear but I’m sure it’ll conform better with some heavy wear.
