      … it’s definitely happening.

      That's fantastic news…might be a good idea to grab an oversized one to layer.

            So I'm thinking about giving mine a wash, the armpits are starting to smell of b.o./deodarant.

            Will the 18oz fabric stretch back out? It has definitely out stretched over the past few months to fit me better, but I'm worried about shrinkage…advice? Is there a way to remove armpit smell without washing? I wouldn't mind keeping the darkness of the denim at bay to achieve higher contrast fades.

              Definitely cold water and air dry. I like using Woolite Dark for my IH gear. No reason to believe it won’t stretch back out again.

                  If it isn’t too late then while drying you should use all your might and stretch the seams And back vertically. I’m thinking arms, side seams, front placket (button it up first) and from the middle of the collar to the middle of the hem of the opening, at the back.

                    K will do also.

                      Still quite damp this morning. I pulled and tugged the jacket while standing on it. It has a lot of stretch, I could really feel the denim give when I tugged. I tried it on and was able to button it easily and the length is about where it was before. Now it's super clean and ready for tomorrow  😉

                          I'm not sure if the SRs are made of the same 18oz denim, but I guess they'll end up like this at some point…

                              I don’t think they are the same denim. Yours is the now defunct 18oz, which is the same denim as the IHSH-177 and IHSH-178 (and of course, the original IH-666S) are made from.  The IH-101J-SR is made from the newer 18oz vintage denim.

                              Bloody great looking jacket regardless.

                                            You see what I mean about a wash bringing the 18oz to life? Not all denim does that. I seriously regret not owning jeans in this denim… [emoji53]
