@Daniel-San good point!! More beer means better fades and massive sexy calf muscles. Good thing it’s only the start of backpacking season!!

Just found a Brand new lefty, chest measurement looks weird but had to give it a go... Can't wait for the arrival

[Mizmazzle]

@Fades-for-future Congrats man!! Hope you love it!! what's the deal with the chest measurement?

[Aetas]

@Fades-for-future envious in the most positive way! Enjoy this beauty!

[Fades for future]

@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

[Fades for future]

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

[Oaktavia]

@Fades-for-future maybe stick to a cold soak?

[pechelman]

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.

[Fades for future]

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) ....

[Oaktavia]

@Fades-for-future that is what I would do, good buddy.

[Fades for future]

@Oaktavia cold soak or loosing weight?

[Oaktavia]

@Fades-for-future lol my ADHD only allowed my brain to read the first part of your comment, the cold soak lol my bad

[Fades for future]

@Oaktavia haha all good buddy, will do both

[Oaktavia]

@Fades-for-future best of luck on the weight loss my friend and enjoy the jacket. It's the best T3 in the universe.

[Fades for future]

@Oaktavia thanks man, much appreciated yeah this jacket is awesome

[Fades for future]

Soak done with around 30 degree water, light creases set and now ready to fully dry... Man, this jacket is no joke
