[rohitsingh]

@rohitsingh:

Just received my XXXL, here are measurements (Good variations for me, I am happy)
Shoulders 20
Length 28
P2P      23.5
Waist  21.5
Opening 22
Arm 27

Will soak this ….

Here are measurements after good two hours soak - its now perfect fit (XXXL) fits like somewhere between XL & XXL
Shoulders before 20 after 19
Length before 28 after 27
P2P      before 23.5 after 23
Waist  before 21.5 after 21
Opening before 22 after 21.5
Arm before 27 after 25.9

One more thing as this is my second time with this jacket, my last jacket when I soaked, it turned water into very dark blue from indigo dye bleeding & it was cold water soak, this time it was hot water soak and water turned just little bit blue, also in last jacket inside weft was white, this one has vintage brown touch and loosening fast too!!! May be this is all in my head!!! Overall I am just loving it!!!  I suggest everyone to size up!!!

Will add pictures soon!!!

Pre-soak fits
Sorry don't know how they ended sideways.
Really happy with this jacket.
Yes, that's my happy face.

Looks great and will most likely look even better after the soak.

@den213:

Which size did ya go for, Lefa?

I have not ordered yet, but I think I'm going to order XL

…I found one Indigofera flannel which I thought it was sold out.. so I need to wait a moment because of that purchase...

[twism_23]

@den213 @Cole @den1mhead @zatenm thanks! @rohitsingh it's XXL

[Dion]

Did you get as much shrinkage as rohitsingh did after the soak?

[twism_23]

I haven't soaked mine as of yet. I usually don't soak things here in our main family house here in Winnipeg. I will be at my other house in Regina next Monday so I plan on doing it there before I head up to training camp. I will let you know once I get it done.

Great, looking forward to the pics & measurements!

[rohitsingh]

Any one how long it stays in crisp papery (stiff) mode, does this ever gets soft or just gets less stiff from cardboard still, I am posting this here because we have all long time owners here , love to see some fade pictures too !!! Thanks in advance!!!

[twism_23]

Bored after walking the dogs decided to measure my XXL jacket before I soak it next week.

Shoulders - 20.125
Length - 27.25*
P2P - 23.625*
Waist - 21.25
Opening - 21.75
Arm - 27.25

• I asked them to ship me the shortest XXL with the widest P2P they had. Thanks Matt!

It looks great now! Let's see more pics after a soak.

I really love how the 526L trucker is longer than the 526J so much so that if someone has a 526L and thinks its too long for them then please let me know as would gladly trade my 526J for your 526L. With my long arms I think the 526L would work better for me. Here's my 526J…

Couldn't wait until I got to Regina. Jacket is drying now after 1.5 hour soak. Managed to clean the tub before my wife got home for lunch so all is good!  Will post measurements this evening.

I do love how it fits even more now though.
