@J-IV nice.
Trust me… You will NOT be disappointed
Giving my sleeves a boil before I iron and starch them on the inside.
-
looking for what you get out of that, @Filthy
-
Yes, I will let you know tomorrow after it dries. The cuffs were exactly 5 inches and the length was 26. I am purposely not soaking near the armpit area. I want that area as wide as possible.
-
@Filthy:
as wide as possible
..so as to accommodate the guns.
P.S. I love your mad scientist shrinkage experiments
-
-
@steelworker I got just under and inch of shrink from 26 to 25.3 and the cuff shrink ¾ of an inch..
-
I was thinking since they did shrink. It'd be prudent to soak 'em again. Some I reboiled the water from last night and am soaking them again.
-
More than I thought you'd get. Thank you, Mike!

-
I definitely got some shrinkage and some nice combs going on this jacket
-
Great look there @dinobarnesberlin .

Great look there @dinobarnesberlin .
Thanks @ROman –- these jackets are perfect for spring weather.
@Filthy –jacket came out really good.-The combs look pretty set now.
Glad the boil job worked out for you, and really good to know in case I want to try it down the road at some point. -
Thanks

Can anyone comment on the comparative weight/warmth/breathability of this versus one of the 14oz denim varietals?
-
@Chain$titch IHJ-69 (same corduroy fabric as the 82) vs. IH-526J-142 (14 oz denim), both in XL: corduroy 765g, denim 1115g; the corduroy being more breathable, the denim with its denser weave a little warmer, at least here where we have a lot of wind. Both wonderful jackets.

That's really interesting, thanks for sharing, @endo
Based on your measurements, if the jackets have the same construction, buttons, etc, then the corduroy is likely between 9 and 10 oz.
