@aimes Yes, but it looks like it might end up a little tight. What are you wearing underneath? How do want to wear it? Open with a t-shirt? Closed with a shirt/hoodie? You can estimate the amount of expected shrinkage, see my previous posts from around the most recent restock.

Fit check before wet soak please. Do I have some room for shrinkage?
IMHO you surely do. From my point of view you have no choice but to shrink it a bit, cause it looks quite not your best fit right now (sleeves & shoulders). Simply soak/wash it in a lukewarm water, without fanaticism though and I'm pretty sure it'll fit you like a glove

@Yoprst
Def Agree with ya, think the fit will be spot on once soaked. Perfect with just t shirt and prob can layer -
@meatmarketdenim1 honestly do not understand people who try to wear jean jacket as a coat, with hundreds layers underneath. Jean jacket is a jean jacket and should be worn as such. All above imho of course
-
Thanks all, looks like it will be a keeper with a warm soak. I'll keep soaking it hotter if I want more shrinkage.

Ideally, a flannel.

@Yoprst I'll throw a denim jacket when working around sharp objects at work to prevent threads from coming loose from a flannel or sashiko for example. I've found the denim to be able to withstand thread pulls better. However I can also see the appeal of wearing only a t underneath in a casual setting.

@catdad1 @ work I wear all my denim (jeans/jackets/shirts) underneath coverall to prevent/avoid critical damage, as shipbuilding industry has quite tough working inviroment - metall all around, paint, welding etc.

BTW fellas, how do you wash your jean jackets in the washing machine - buttoned or unbuttoned?

@spitfiredealer why would you sell this beauty?? What a masterpiece.
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...

@Mizmazzle bit too snug
-
@aimes Sounds good! I would go for it, doing gradually hotter soaks is a good idea. I prefer a tighter fit on type 3’s personally
-
This jacket says not to run in the dryer (with all raw denim) but I feel like that would soften up this insanely tough denim if ran for a short time.

@aimes looks good. That's how mine looked. I soaked it 1hr 30c and then a cold wash, no spin. Fits perfect. That way It'll shrink about 1 inch in the sleeves and body. Everything else pretty minimal.
