@Mizmazzle yes that all sounds correct
-
Wow, that‘s a huge difference! Thanks for the pics. So, did you soak it with super hot water? Or more like shower temperature?

I blasted it with all the way hot water, hot as my tap went...110-120F is hottest the tap can get.

Good to know, thank you! Now let‘s see how the jacket will fit and take it from there.

Just to add fuel to the sizing fire, the XL of this one measures slightly larger in most categories than my XXXL Duck Type III.
Probably the closest to standard American sizing I’ve seen on an IH jacket!

Filthy would even go as far as boiling his denim to achieve an even larger amount of shrinkage. He has it documented well on here but I couldn't tell you which threads.

Thanks for the hint! However, I hope it won‘t be that big that I have to boil it

@Oaktavia time to open that hot water heater panel and turn it up lol. Make her 160 and burn germs off your skin when showering.

@Oaktavia @Kasi Thanks so much to you guys and others here for sharing your journeys with this piece. I was on the fence when my orders first arrived. The M fit similarly to my previous IH jackets with similar dimensions (except I've never gotten tiny bruises from bending my elbows before... whatever... should mellow out after a cold soak) but I am swimming in the L pre-soak (similar to Octavia's pre-soak photo). I feel a bit more confident starting the hot soak process this weekend. Thanks guys!

@El-Fanatico cheers, bud. Hit soak the crap outta it.

Decided to soak as well. Hot water for an hour. Just tried it on while damp. Definitely got some shrinkage out of it. Love this beast already
-
@Twistlock sweet!! This is the route I’ll be taking. Curious to see how things go once you put it on wet!!
-
@Twistlock yes!!!

The struggle is real @Mizmazzle
