      @crollee I aim for a 24 inch chest with my shirts and I’m usually XXL but do have a few XXXL as well. This serge windbreaker fits me perfect in an XL with room for a tee and a UHF. Pretty sure there’s a few pics of me wearing it with a shirt further back in this thread.

        @DeeDee85 thanks! Still on the fence sizing-wise haha. I realize hot soak and dry is a dangerous game, but is it possible to shrink this fabric in the chest by .5" if the XXL is too big?

          @crollee I think shrinking the serge fabric is possible as I’ve seen it mentioned in the 13oz shirt threads but I’m not too sure with this 21oz fabric

            @crollee The product description states: 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

            I really don’t think you can shrink it unless you are really aggressive in your approach.

              I’ve been wearing this as much as possible since the weather has cooled down some. It’s not showing as much fading as in the pics but it’s coming along. It’s so soft and heavy. I’m honestly surprised I haven’t been jumped for my jacket in public yet.

                  @jordanscollected pretty cool progress! I wear my black one everyday but mostly for commuting so there is nothing visible yet but I don't mind it keeping its color for a while. Still looking forward to some more updates of your jacket!!

                    @jordanscollected Looks good my man! After seeing these pictures I kinda feel like I missed the boat on this one. Only one body and so many choices …

                      @Denman-John very well put with the one body, so many choices. I struggled to wear my N1 deck vest and had a hard time letting it go. But I turned it into this jacket and feel like I made a great decision.

                      Hearing that IH has no plans to make anything else out of this fabric (not sure that includes a restock of this and the pants), I am so happy I picked this up.

                        @jordanscollected it's really a bummer that we might never see other heavy serge pieces but it's great to have the 142 and I have to say it's one of the few jackets I got a compliment from my girlfriend for who is not nearly a denim/ clothing nerd like me
