You could also get a Raw large and only briefly soak it, to get it to shrink down some but not fully. Since it's not an item that you'll be washing a lot later on. You can also decide to only handwash it cold from then on or something.

The good thing with unsanforized denim is that you have shrinkage somewhat in hand.

Remember that it is a vest and it also depends on how you wish to wear it, over how many layers, perhaps also to be able to pop it under something else every once in a while.

Hope that helps somewhat.

Thanks cotton. Do you think you could post the excat measurements of your hot soaked large?

like he said :-)

i hate to be that guy that asks the question. but this a big purchase for me . so i wanted to get it perfect. i am in between sizes , a med is too small and xl is too big. then if the large shrinks too much then i am screwed. i know a lot of you are very knowledgeable about this stuff. i am very thankful for all of the input. will post pics once i have pulled the trigger.

Look at the measurements for a raw Medium, it should shrink down to about that.

so get an xl to shrink down to the large raw?

looking to buy a signal vest . trying to figure out what size to buy. does anyone have the post shrinkage measurements for a size large?
