Fit check before wet soak please. Do I have some room for shrinkage?

@goosehd good tip!

This jacket says not to run in the dryer (with all raw denim) but I feel like that would soften up this insanely tough denim if ran for a short time.

Thanks all, looks like it will be a keeper with a warm soak. I'll keep soaking it hotter if I want more shrinkage.

@aimes Yes, but it looks like it might end up a little tight. What are you wearing underneath? How do want to wear it? Open with a t-shirt? Closed with a shirt/hoodie? You can estimate the amount of expected shrinkage, see my previous posts from around the most recent restock.

Ideally, a flannel.

Does anyone know how much this will shrink with a cold wash? I'm trying to avoid shrinkage.

@aimes hey mate! Great shirt on ya! If the cuff is too wide, I put in an extra snap. Cheap and it stacks the arms like they were made of rainbows. ️‍

Thanks! Do you remember the piece of kit you used to do it? I'm guessing I need some special tools?

@JunkPants Thats... a great idea.

@FlavourFade Hot water? How does that set creases?

What are my options here? The sleeve opening is a bit too wide for me, though the rest of the shirt fits great so I want to keep it. My local tailor said he would have to cut the cuff and there would be seam, not ideal.

This fit sounds awesome. When will they be released?

Hi all, I'll be traveling to Italy in a couple months and I'm curious if you have any recommendations for stores that carry Iron Heart and/or locally made Italian niceties.

Thanks in advance
