Omg how did that emoji get so big? Horrific

That’s the IH universe talking!

A wet and dusty 149. It’s going in the wash later. An absolute legend of a jacket already for work; like a chore jacket and UHF all rolled into one.

@Mister_Brue need the post wash photos yesterday!!

[SKT]

@Mister_Brue I was going to post a pic of mine but it looks nearly identical to yours and I don’t want to be redundant

[Oaktavia]

@SKT nah let's see it!!!

[SKT]

@Oaktavia I seem to have misplaced it…you’ll just have to take my word

[Mister_Brue]

@SKT I actually hope you don’t have to work in these conditions. Anyway, once it’s washed it’ll probably look normal again.

[SKT]

@Mister_Brue truly can’t wait to see it post wash

[Mister_Brue]

@SKT Hopefully tomorrow, or the weekend, depending on when I can take pictures (if it ever stops raining).

@Mister_Brue That looks awesome ~ looking forward to the “after” shots!

[Mister_Brue]

@worn2fade @SKT @Denman-John This one takes a while to dry…..

[hjl360]

@Mister_Brue the suspense waiting for pics is killing me!

[Larkens]

@Mister_Brue can’t wait to see the result, tomorrow?

Hot damn that’s amazing

[Mister_Brue]

So it’s finally dry. I was a bit unsure about putting it on a 40 degree wash (as per the label), or even a normal 30 degree wash (as per the website) because of the 60% wool in the lining.

So I tentatively put it on a wool wash (30 degrees), with some spin, then dried it on the radiator, turning it often. In hindsight, it probably could have gone on a normal cycle, because there was still some dust which I brushed off once dry.

I’ll try and get some post wash photos in sunlight later, although I think it’s more interesting when covered in dust sometimes. Anyway, there is something happening, especially on the arms.

@Mister_Brue developing beautifully

[Oaktavia]

@Mister_Brue FWIW I have washed my blanket lined 534 twice on a normal setting and it was totally OK after. I even did a hot soak and warm wash the first time because the facking thing smelled of mildew from being in storage for years by the previous owner...wash cleared it right up though.

Anyway, yours looks great!!!

[Mister_Brue]

@Oaktavia Ah, good to know, thanks. This is looking like it’s going to have a vintage vibe to the fades, so I’m looking forward to that.

[SKT]

@Mister_Brue do you think it had any shrinkage at all with the wash?
