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

[El Fanatico]

@Oaktavia @Kasi Thanks so much to you guys and others here for sharing your journeys with this piece. I was on the fence when my orders first arrived. The M fit similarly to my previous IH jackets with similar dimensions (except I've never gotten tiny bruises from bending my elbows before... whatever... should mellow out after a cold soak) but I am swimming in the L pre-soak (similar to Octavia's pre-soak photo). I feel a bit more confident starting the hot soak process this weekend. Thanks guys!

@El-Fanatico cheers, bud. Hit soak the crap outta it.

Decided to cold soak it (no need for shrink) and put it on later when damp.

[PJ]

Decided to soak as well. Hot water for an hour. Just tried it on while damp. Definitely got some shrinkage out of it. Love this beast already

[Oaktavia]

Awesome fellas. They look so good when new!

[Mizmazzle]

@Twistlock sweet!! This is the route I’ll be taking. Curious to see how things go once you put it on wet!!

[Twistlock]

Took me 20 minutes and the help of some pliers to button up this fecker. Now letting it dry on my body.

[Twistlock]

Reflecting on my Lefty...

[Mizmazzle]

@Twistlock yes!!!

[Twistlock]

The struggle is real @Mizmazzle

[pechelman]

Anyone from the latest batch who has hot soaked with the intent to shrink able to take p2p, length, and sleeve measurements? At least that way we can compare to the measurement charts.

[Mizmazzle]

@Twistlock yooo!!! Is it strange that I can’t wait until I get to damage my thumb too!!?

Did you try sticking a knife sharpening tool or screwdriver in the button hole and twisting and stretching first? I did that with my XHS and never had a problem buttoning them up from the start.

[Twistlock]

@Mizmazzle, yeah used a needle-nose plier to widen the holes. not much damage to the finger but a lot of indigo transfer.

After a hot soak.
Wearing only a t shirt underneath. Even managed to button it

I did a hot soak but also washed mine in 60°C @ 400rmp. Shrank quite a bit about an inch on sleeve length and length.
I bought a XL and thought it might shrink a bit so it fits better after washing.

Shoulders: 20.2" (51.3cm) -> 49.5cm
Length: 27.9" (70.9cm) -> 68.2cm
Chest: 23.5" (59.7cm) -> 58cm
Waist: 21.2" (53.8cm) -> 53cm
Opening: 21.3" (54.1cm) -> 53cm
Sleeve Length: 27.7" (70.4cm) -> 67.5cm
Sleeve Opening: 4.8" (12.2cm) -> 12cm

[Twistlock]

@PJ looks spot on!

[Twistlock]

Indigo bleed from wearing the damp lefty.
