@Heavy_blue simply gorgeous mate

. Congratulations

@Luijim78 thanks mate! I’m so happy to have then both!
-
@Mizmazzle Looking great! Have you washed it yet?
-
@Mizmazzle No, sure haven't. I've contemplating giving it a wash, but it's just starting to get soft and I don't want to make it like cardboard again if I can help it. I'm also a little nervous about it getting marbling in the wash, but it is what it is. I'm starting to get some nice fading here and there, but I'm a little bit behind you (I'll post a pic soon).

@seawolf true for sure! I’ll soaked mine a while back and it was surely roughed up again.. not as much as new tho.. but in the end some washing etc is good for the cotton fibers

Loving all these updates from everyone!!
@seawolf what I’m a bit nervous about come wash time is the length shrinking. I very warm soaked it with solid hand agitation when new. The length is a perfect 25.75” right now. Length is one of those things I’m hyper picky about. 25” is too short for my preference. Hoping a straight cold wash won’t have any effect when the time comes.
-
@Mizmazzle Omg. Mine is too long. Want to trade?!
I did a hot soak at first, so I think I have some shrinkage to look forward to when I finally wash it with agitation. What size is yours that enabled you to get it down to 25.75"?
-
I just measured. I'm also a tag size 40, and my hot soak got me down to 26-3/4", so in the hot wash it goes! I don't think you'll get any more shrinking, especially if you stick with cold washes. I love a short Type III, so the length is really the only thing that's ever bothered me about this jacket. I sold my buttery soft unmodified 21oz 526od because it didn't have pockets, and I don't love OD denim, and opted for the Lefty instead. But that old jacket was such an amazing length for me!
