IH-526L - 19oz Left-Hand Twill Selvedge Denim Type III - Indigo
-
@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.
-
2 weeks!
I hate how my collar is lol, one shooting to the side and the other laid down right.
-
@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.
-
One of the benefits of left hand twill, hence the leg twist in the 19L jeans. I love it!
-
16 days in and I feel like this jacket is starting to finally settle. I wish the fit was a tad bit more snug, I can’t lie - but I still appreciate having the room to layer if need be.
Maybe the XL would’ve been the way to go but I’d rather deal with this than pay the return shipping back to Iron Heart lol
-
@sabergirl Oh I didn’t mean return it now haha, I know that’s definitely not an option. Before soaking it even the first time I was considering an exchange but I decided not to mainly because I didn’t want to pay return shipping.
Should’ve clarified that lol, & thanks!
-
@worn2fade Look at it this way: you can have another fitted jacket in the future while still having this one for layering.
-
@FlavourFade yeah and that’s why I appreciate the extra space! But truth be told it’s not very common to even need to layer here in Florida lol. But to have the option is still nice, I’m appreciative the jacket doesn’t look massive on me wearing it normal.
-
@worn2fade honestly I am always wondering how you wear all that heavy denim in Florida

Get hired somewhere in the Walmart's meat section

@FlavourFade I’ve gotten so used to it man haha. But at least the cooler season is approaching now!
-
@Yoprst I work from home so that definitely helps!

@Yoprst I work in retail with aircon but have to wear the company shirts unfortunately

I myself work in the company coverall, I just wear my denim under it

@worn2fade are the shoulders starting to soften. It seems like it. I just got mine and it feels very boxy in the shoulders. Like SpongeBob. I did a cold soak, as I don't want to shrink too much. Still seems boxy.
-
@timmyboy yes it did indeed start to soften. You notice it a little more around the 2 week mark (of daily wear,) but as Stevie said - this jacket takes a minute to break in!
