Can't you just tighten the wrist straps ?

That doesn't shorten them, just tightens the sleeves.

But with the cold rinse it worked out very well. The jacket got a bit of a rugged feel and it shrunk only a bit, but enough so that the sleeves have the perfect length. A beautiful fabric, I like the linen/cotton combination a lot.

Brown Canvas Chaparral Blouse Size Large (40)

Raw:

Chest (front) 23 1/4

Chest (back) 24

Shoulders 18 3/4

Sleeve 27 3/4

Depth 28 1/4

Warm Rinse 25 minutes - line dry

Chest (front) 22 3/4

Chest (back) 23 3/4

Shoulders 18 1/2

Sleeve 27 1/4

Depth 27 3/4

shrinkage is about 1/2 inch all over. could do with a little bit more in the sleeves - maybe give it another rinse tomorrow.

tailoring on this jacket is amazing

update:

gave the jacket another 25 minute warm soak spin and line dry. there was no further shrinkage. slightly disappointed as the sleeves could lose up to another inch.

guess I could hot soak but I don't want to damage the leather trim.

TVSHOOTER...

I actually saw him the other day at First Fridays here in downtown Richmond. Such a rad guy.

Here are some pictures of my rider's that denim doctor modified. They did an amazing job. They look the same as they did brand new.

Please excuse my front door, I am in the process of stripping the paint. (it sucks)

Very very nice! I just got a worn one from eBay, absolutely amazing pair. But I wonder why yours comes with the waist suspenders buttons?

news to me - I've only ever seen them with waist suspenders - had a look on eBay but couldn't see them :unsure:

ok, i went to check it up, the one you had now is a type ii (as jaspar also stated in his sales post), the differences are probably the pull tab lining and a slight higher rise, with also the suspender buttons.

oh yeah... its the best pair of jeans one could ever have.

Picked up a pair of the Peau de Diable (Devil’s Skin) pants.

I needed a new pair of work pants, still need to get them hemmed.
