^Of course, wabi sabi for the win. However, I‘ve soaked the jacket cuz it was simply too stiff for my liking. Turned out nice: no bleeding-in, no unwanted crinkles and it shrunk 2-3% (What I had taken into account when choosing the size). The jacket‘s still drying but I can tell it feels softer- fine! -

I don’t think there really is such a thing as the ultimate result. Embrace the wabi sabi. -
^ you‘re both right 🙂 But don't we all want the ultimate result?

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.
