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

@worn2fade I typically would have done a XXL but I wasn’t really wanting to layer under this time around.

@Davids_denim I think you made the right call especially for RR. I would assume the snugger the jacket fits the better the combs would be. It also gives you that great type 3 fit that people seek with these jackets. Love this jacket for you dawg.

Defloration in progress. No longer a virgin.
It stood upright like that for the whole day. But I broke the "seals" of even tougher such virgins

By the way, do you guys add some vinegar to the water when you soak the virgin denim for the first time?

Kind of hard to capture the color accurately on my iPhone 14 but this is after a hot soak I gave it last night, the first time I've washed or soaked it since I got it. This is from the previous run, so I've had it a couple years now, but haven't worn it too much. I've been wearing it a lot more often and it's starting to come alive.

@FlavourFade Like this 526L fit.

My coupla cents regarding sizing of this jacket. My other IH jacket is 21oz (IH-526PJ) is in size L. When I saw the size chart for this IH-526L I've got some doubts regarding choosing the same L size and ended up choosing M instead. So the first water treatment of it should become the Moment of Truth. As the jacket was totally unworn I opted not to torture it in washer and just soaked it in the lukewarm water, however for about 5-6 hrs. I consider that would be enough to reasonably take shrinkage out of it. The end result after the jacket dried up totally satisfies me - it sits quite the way I like it and pretty close to how my 21oz 526PJ fits me. I think that if I'd go for L it would still have some extra room after soak and I had no slightest desire to boil it in the water for hours and spin it in the washer @ 10K rpm to get it shrunk to my preferable fit. When I find a chance to take some fit shots on me your opinion on the sizing would be much appreciated.
