IH-526L - 19oz Left-Hand Twill Selvedge Denim Type III - Indigo

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

[Goz]

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!!!

10 days down, who knows how many more to go!

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 looks great to me, just wear it more.

@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

[Ikeaparty]

Thanks folks! Will roll with it, was the first day cool enough to wear it in Vancouver (@Yoprst looks like your DP is from Vancouver actually) today that I have been around for, putting in the first of many wears!

@worn2fade Yer rapidly becoming IH forum star. Keep it up, keep us posted!

[Yoprst]

@Ikeaparty Yer right I live in Vancouver BC. Nice to learn that I'm not the only one IH addict out there in Van

[worn2fade]

@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!

[worn2fade]

@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.

[worn2fade]

2 weeks!

I hate how my collar is lol, one shooting to the side and the other laid down right.

[ARNC]

@worn2fade I’m sure you could even it up if you dampen the collar points and apply a bit of traction.

@worn2fade all of my denim jacket collars are wonky like that. Totally normal...embrace the asymmetry.
