    • I hate to say it, but it seems you’re wanting to control denim more than it can be controlled.   Wash it now, you may get shrink, things might bleed a little, which is unavoidable whenever you wash, and your jacket will be ever so slightly lighter to begin the fading. And eventually, when you wash it again at some point, it will probably shrink just a little bit more. It might not, but it might. And you just have to live with it. It may stretch out again some too. Or you could wash it again a second time right now on a hot cycle to try to avoid this, but you’d lose more indigo, and you still might not avoid it completely. Denim is best thought of as a little bit of a living entity.  If you like the fit now I would just get on with wearing it. That’s the best way to sort out the stiffness. 
    • I think you are in danger of overthinking things (I wouldn't worry about it bleeding through for example). If the fit is good just wear it and it'll break-in, even if it's a bit stiff at first. A soak will still leave it feeling stiff. If you need extra shrinkage for best fit beyond the one wash dimensions then try a machine wash to start with.
    • If it's 'one-wash' a soak isn't going to shrink it any further.. a second wash might, a hot wash will.
    • Should I soak my one-wash Sugar Cane 1962 jacket? The jacket is extremely stiff, and I think it will shrink a little—it's better if it's at its final size before wearing it in. However, I want to avoid the indigo bleed-through from the soak to the inside of the jacket, which could turn it blue. What do you think?
