Wouldnt that make it smaller?
Im now scared of soaking any thick denim, at least as a jacket they should be sold as one wash
It would if I let it dry off figure. But yeah this is one washed so shrinkage would be almost null. I’d just like to push the arms a bit wider.

Nice! Mines broken-in a bit, but that HH is pretty thick. Also looks like the top pocket chain pulls on mine either broke off by accident or on purpose.

I just machine-washed the 23oz jeans that I have to no effect whatsoever (other than the fact that they're actually clean now). They're stiffer but didn't get any smaller. Even the creases remained. But I washed 'em at no heat.

here we go again.. maybe like leather not all raw denim built equally, because mine (sanforized 24oz) really lost 5cm in length and at least 2cm around waist, and hip, and throughout the leg the fit turns into more slim fitting from straight fit, even the pockets shrank, but not twisting like unsanforized ones.

it does feel denser but not stiffer since it was not stiff from the start, dare say the color looks darker because the shiny surface is mostly gone and turned matte.
