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.
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!!!

-
@Twistlock yooo!!! Is it strange that I can’t wait until I get to damage my thumb too!!?
Did you try sticking a knife sharpening tool or screwdriver in the button hole and twisting and stretching first? I did that with my XHS and never had a problem buttoning them up from the start.

@Mizmazzle, yeah used a needle-nose plier to widen the holes. not much damage to the finger but a lot of indigo transfer.

After a hot soak.
Wearing only a t shirt underneath. Even managed to button it

Anyone from the latest batch who has hot soaked with the intent to shrink able to take p2p, length, and sleeve measurements? At least that way we can compare to the measurement charts.
I did a hot soak but also washed mine in 60°C @ 400rmp. Shrank quite a bit about an inch on sleeve length and length.
I bought a XL and thought it might shrink a bit so it fits better after washing.Shoulders: 20.2" (51.3cm) -> 49.5cm
Length: 27.9" (70.9cm) -> 68.2cm
Chest: 23.5" (59.7cm) -> 58cm
Waist: 21.2" (53.8cm) -> 53cm
Opening: 21.3" (54.1cm) -> 53cm
Sleeve Length: 27.7" (70.4cm) -> 67.5cm
Sleeve Opening: 4.8" (12.2cm) -> 12cm
