Hello, I ordered my frirst ever Denim Jacket - any honestly I'm super happy with this decision.
I ordered in the first min after the restock, based on the new messurments chart, I had to go with XXXL, but I sent an email to the team to find me a one with shorter sleeves and less width in shoulders. and here we go, 2 days after the order... Knock, knock...

After the test fit, I soak it in hot water for an hour, agitating it every 15 minutes to ensure the shrinkage is completely out. Before it got completely dry with the drip dry, I wore it 50% wet for a day and a half. Then I repeated the soak again. Here's how it looks now.

I don't know how does it look along with the IH 142ib - happy to hear from you.

I can't wait to see how it will fade.. and not sure how I will be able to able to wear this jacket in the hot/warm weather here in Dubai !!

Those lucky ones who had the chance to enjoy this wonderful jacket earlier, from your experience, how does this jacket shirnks?
Just trying to anticipate what size I should go with.

I'm 182 cm, 105 Kg and I wear from IH - a XXL 12oz shirt and this is how it looks on me:

I've read and heard that this denim is tough and requires a real commitment to break-in. today I received it and tried to put it on. dudes! this took me a good 10 mins just to button it.
I ordered size 40, at a first glance it's a bit roomy, not snug as I wish, maybe a size 38 will fit me better.
my favorate Empario Armani denim size 40 and its dims are:

## My question is: as it a bit roomy and bigger than I want, if I soak it for a couple of hours and give it a warm wash, does it shrink a bit and fit me better?

OK, so I decided to put this monster in action and wear it day and night straight, as long as possible.
I took some measurements, and here's how it looks:

I soaked it in 30-degree water and kept it for 15 mins only, as I was in a hurry. dip-dried it.
I'll keep posting from time to time some fade evolution. But here's how it looks before the soak:

Now, I'll continue to wear them for some time, and then I may give them a proper - by book - soak to soften them a bit, guys those ones are reallly tough!
Can't wait to receive the 25oz Indigo/Black !

Can't wait to put my hands on XHSib in 777 cut...
