So I did my third hot soak (for 2hrs) and then washed my jacket inside out in the washing machine on normal cycle......waiting for it to dry hopefully that takes whatever shrinkage was left from the 1st two soaks out!!!

@jpvisual Thank you for the info, I already soaked it twice both times in hot water. It shrank and fits ok I think if I went with a smaller size (large) it may be small. I just want to get all the shrinkage out of it before I start wearing it so the fades won't shift after washing it.Right now it fits good but it's a little roomy.

@worn2fade ok thanks going to wash mine over the weekend hopefully I'll get the remaining shrinkage out

@worn2fade Hey thanks for the info I guess I'll have to wash it to get the rest of the shrinkage out. Did you wash your jacket in hot water?

@seawolf OK thank you the water was as hot as the tap could get and the patch still looks decent.

@goosehd Ok I did a little agitation the second time I soaked it. The water was very hot !! I just want to remove as much shrinkage as possible so I don't have to worry about it in the future.

Question.......will soaking my jacket twice in hot water take all the shrinkage out of the it??

@j6550 I feel your pain I'm still second guessing my choice, but I will say this if your other Type 3 is a XL I'd go with size Large with the OD you can use the other jacket when u want to wear a hoodie or thick flannel under it and the OD with t-shirts

@sabergirl Thank you I appreciate your advice. The bigger size feels a bit more comfortable especially when layering. Your right I definitely would wear it more. Its funny how just a inch difference in measurements btwn the 2 jackets can change the appearance on how it fits and looks on a person.

@goosehd Thank you I definitely appreciate and respect your opinion. You have great style and lnow how clothes should fit properly.

@pechelman which size did you choose?

@goosehd Lol thats true I will definitely be buying another jacket again. In your opinion which one fits me best?

@pechelman Thanks I truly understand your dilemma, I can't make up my mind. When I put on the larger size it looks kind of big to me but it is more comfortable.

@T4920 Thank you!

@jerkules Thank you!

@denim-dawg Thank you!

Iron Heart crew ts me again I need your advice the 2nd jacket came today and its 1 size bigger how does it fit compared to the 1st jacket can't keep them both unfortunately your advice is truly appreciated.

@sabergirl It doesn't feel bad just a little tight. Question.....will the jacket stretch?
