IH-526L - 19oz Left-Hand Twill Selvedge Denim Type III - Indigo

Not sure what it is about this jacket that makes us obsess with beating the hell out of it. Just got back from a backpacking trip. Lugged this fucker in my backpack along with my tent, food, 6 pack of beer, 750ml of whiskey, sleeping bag, etc. for 6 miles…just to get some more fades in the cold mountain air at night. Gathering wood and chugging booze by the fire does the trick!

@Mizmazzle
not enough beer for fast fades mate
next time 3 sixpacks for the win -
@Kasi Dude - you make this jacket look even sicker and more attractive than ever!! Loving it
-
@Jcaz6996 Epic! Cannot get enough of it
-
@Jcaz6996 very cool dude!
-
@Daniel-San good point!! More beer means better fades and massive sexy calf muscles. Good thing it’s only the start of backpacking season!!
-
@Mizmazzle wow
-
Just found a Brand new lefty, chest measurement looks weird but had to give it a go... Can't wait for the arrival
-
@Fades-for-future Congrats man!! Hope you love it!! what's the deal with the chest measurement?
-
@Fades-for-future envious in the most positive way! Enjoy this beauty!
-
@Mizmazzle Cheers man, seems quit small for a 42 but shoulders and lenght are nice, if it will shrink a lot it won't fit i guess. Might do just a luke warm water soak....
@Aetas thank you, really hope the jacket fits... Will post pics here when i got the beast to keep you guys updated -
Lefty arrived today, lenght and shoulder is perfect right out of the bag, bit tight on the body when closed but okay... How much shrinkage can i expect with a luke warm water soak? If it shrinks much i guess the jacket is to tight -
@Fades-for-future maybe stick to a cold soak?
-
I did a cold soak with no agitation other than putting it in the water and removing it and got almost an inch lost in the length dimensions. The widths shrunk a little bit it seems to have molded and stretched a little where it was put under tension back to pre soak dims. I documented numbers in here somewhere and the shrink test done by IH confirmed I likely got all the shrink out.
Personally, I'd keep that one you're wearing for a traditional snug fit, it looks like you could stand to lose some body length. The next size up would work too if you want to layer it. Fwiw, I still layer an IH hoodie under mine.
-
@Fades-for-future The fit looks good.
-
Thanks guys @Oaktavia @pechelman @twin , i might do only a cold water soak. Pretty happy with the fit, got some room in the shoulders, arms and arm lenght.... I think i will keep it, a size up would be to big for me as i tryd and i'm still on my way to loose some weight wich i already did (7kg) ....
-
@Fades-for-future that is what I would do, good buddy.
-
@Oaktavia cold soak or loosing weight?
-
@Fades-for-future lol my ADHD only allowed my brain to read the first part of your comment, the cold soak lol my bad
-
@Oaktavia haha all good buddy, will do both
