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

[AtariHunter]

Guys, I'm starting to worry that I also screwed up with sizing. According to the size chart an XL should fit (that’s what I ordered) and an L should be too small, especially around the chest. But reading your experiences makes me doubt… Anyway, will know more next week

IH Crew - Any chance there are any more smalls in Japan? @3141592654 is looking for one and when I search the IH Japan website, I don’t see any. I also have checked with Withered Fig and am awaiting a reply from them.

@AdamC @AdamJ Any chance you guys were able to find one in Japan?

[AdamC]

@goosehd They do not stock it in Japan I am afraid so we cannot get any more. @3141592654 you will need to sign up to the restock notification to be emailed if we have one returned.

[goosehd]

@AdamC Thank you and hope you have a great weekend!

[3141592654]

[goosehd]

@3141592654 Best of luck in the search and fingers crossed for a return!

Remember if it is a little big, hot soak the crap out of it. Mine was huge when I first got it and I put the jacket in a tub with full blast hot water. See my crappy before an after photos.

well that doesnt make it any easier for me @Oaktavia but thanks for sharing that...maybe the large is the right one for me afterall? It looks like yours shrunk a ton, maybe more than an inch in length?

The medium's already on its way. At this point, probably worth the 35$ return fee to be 100% sure.

If I were you I would return the medium and hot soak the crap out of the large. Sorry I hadn't seen your post until just now after scrolling to find what you were referring to. Did you already return the L? If so, $35 you'll forget about once you make your decision on the L or M. Shrinking the L I would guess would ultimately be a better more customized fit. But you might be able to just get the M wet with cold water and wear it damp till dry to get a similar effect. That's my two cents. I'll keep up with this thread to see what you end up doing and if I am understanding your situation correctly.

@Oaktavia thanks for the reply.
I still and only have the size large on hand. The medium might already be on its way? I panicked yesterday and saw there were 2 mediums left in stock so snagged one.

The shrinkage is pretty extreme in your photo to me that your before looks about the same as mine.

[Oaktavia]

@pechelman yup mine shrunk a good amount and I agree it looks the same as your L presoak.

[Mizmazzle]

@Oaktavia you bring up a great point. One that I’ve been wondering about myself.
If the fit is close and you cold soak and wear wet to get a form fit, thats an option if one is looking to set creases and get a molded fit? I think this will be the position I am it once my jacket arrives.

But also, what if it’s just a touch too big? A luke warm soak May get that touch of shrink?

If it’s a bit on the “massive” side a super hot soak could do the trick.

Guess my wondering is, a molded, shaped wet wear can still be achieved based on the initial fit and what temp of water to use…?

[Oaktavia]

@Mizmazzle yes that all sounds correct

[AtariHunter]

@Oaktavia

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.
