@Richard Yeah haha! I wear a back pack sometimes and I hope it will show some day. The straps definitely touch the chest pockets.

Anyone tried shrink this jacket ?
Considering washing it in 60 °C to shorten the arms.

@Hohba01 With the blanket lining, I don’t think that would be advisable.

…and to add from the product description:

• Post construction, we wash the completed garment in an aggressive industrial washing machine. This process removes virtually all potential shrinkage.
• No further shrinkage is expected when washed according to our care guidelines

@Hohba01 I'd strongly advise against trying to shrink this one with a hot wash, with the lining and mix of different materials throughout the results are likely to be unpredictable at best

[Hohba01]

I skip the hot wash was thinking the same about different materials and shrinking.

@Hohba01 I just remembered Forum Legend @Filthy2123ozjunkie Mike shrank a blanket-lined CPO some years ago. See here and scroll for a little bit more: https://forum.ironheart.co.uk//post/640828

Makes for some fascinating reading. Important to note that he did it to an 8 oz blanket-lined denim. This one's a lot heavier.

The arms aren’t blanket lined though, so not sure what shrinkage you’ll get in the arms. I wouldn’t do it and I can live with the sleeve length.

[Hohba01]

I think the arms will fold up better with use, would be worse with too short arms on a jacket for colder weather I think.
