As promised, I have soaked the Levi's Type II made of Japanese selvedge, and I bring the results plus a guide on how I care for my raw denim jackets.
Here is a quick guide on How to care for your denim jacket:
1) I never soak, wear it from the beginning and don't worry about that. Exception: you look for
shrinkage
2) I wash the jacket when it is dirty you pick the right time for you.
3) How: by hand: submerge the jacket inside out in Cold water (from the tap), half a dose of Woolite
or similar, for 30 min then proceed with the wash and rinse. Hang and let dry
Washing machine: Jacket inside out; use a Short/medium cycle, water at 20 degrees, Woolite or
similar half a dose, No spin or low spin. Hang and let dry.
So far, all my denim jackets hold well, with minimal shrinkage and beautiful fades.
I choose Woolite or Seven Generation in Laundry Detergent; those products do not compromise the denim or the colour.

Considering how small size changes can alter volume, the shrinkage is significant! Thank you!
Any denim that is 💯 cotton will shrink at least one or more inches, perhaps if the denim is pre-shrunk or Sanforized will not shrink but anything else will, also depending what temperatures you’re using in the water or if you dried on a dryer machine or even if you hand dry on the sun, denim is cotton and it will shrink, Perhaps if the denim has nylon in their fabric will not shrink as much, shrunk denim not. In any case buy jeans or jackets your size bigger to avoid this situation, best wishes and enjoy
Love your content, keep up the great work!
Thank you, mate!!!!!!
YESSS!!! Thank you!! I will do this to mine as soon as I get home👍🙌
Man, these type II jackets are starting to grow on me, may need to pull the trigger and get one!
They are nice and stand out in the crowd! You can buy it on Bears Japan clothing website or Live’s, Hinoya too but it is expensive
@@UrbanLadUK thanks Diego🫡
Wow the jacket looks fantastic on you mate, and will only look better with wear!! Tempted to get one myself...
It is totally worth it mate!!!
It looks to fit you perfectly after the soak.
Thank you! Levi’s is right about sizing. My size after soaking is XL.
Excelente .. thank you
Thank you!!
Bought the last large on bears Japan 🎉🎉🎉
Congrats!!!!!!!
hello, good video, can you make a video for Edwin Unwashed type 2 selvedge jacket, i recently buy XL, it will come i couple days, it will be my first type 2 jacket, maybe you can comparation levis type 2 and edwin type 2, thank you.
I put it on my list 👍👍👍!!!
Hi Diego, is the fitting "relaxed" or standard for this jacket?
Relaxed
What a nice test right there mate. Can you please help me a little too about my hesitation? I am 180cm guy with about 78-80kg with 40-41 inch chest usually wearing M. Would you recommend me getting M size and washing it carefully like I wash my wool clothes to avoid shrinkage or getting and L and putting it to 40 or 60 degrees in the washing machine? Thanks in advance and keep up the good work. Subscribed!
All the way buy L and you can do first soaking in warm water to check how much shrinks if enough for you thats it, If not proceed with washing machine 40 degrees low spin or non spin. I belive that going to work for you, dont be agresive don´t forget that the sleeves shrink too and can became a tad short.
@@UrbanLadUK Thank you very much for the reply. I thought the same but my concern about this is even I get my fit-like-a-glove fit by soaking and washing, isn't there a possibility for stretching back close to previous size after some wearing and becoming baggy again? What do you think? I've got zero experience with shrink-to-fit denim, only with wool clothes which I machine wash carefully to avoid shrinkage, but I really want to get into this and get one of these jackets. Thank you very much again!
I’m considering buying this jacket. I usually wear a size M (btw I’m 190cm tall and weigh 76kg). Would you recommend to size up (which means buying the size L) and the soaking will do the rest?
Hi! Thank you for watching. I think L is the right choice for you. Soaking is going to finish the work to make this jacket fit you almost perfect
@@UrbanLadUKthank you so much for your answer!
Hi, seven months after you published the video, I want to ask you weather you already washed the size L model which you also kept? If you washed it, how does it fit now?
I haven't washed that jacket (size L) I don't wear very often, but I intend to wash it by hand in tap water
@@UrbanLadUKok, the reason why I am asking is, because I had the chance to get a size L model for a sensational price. I am 188 cm and 84 kgs. It fits just a little bit too big. But if I take the measurements of your soaked XL model, this would still be larger than a raw model L. As I can’t get an XL size anyway I will stay with the L size and hope that it shrinks just a little bit.
@@AxelJanz@AxelJanz , only wash it by hand on tap water, Woolite, and you are going to be safe. My weight is 94 kg and fits perfectly, on you going to be the right size
@@UrbanLadUKyep, this is how I will do it! Thx! 👍
Return the large and I can buy it ha ha
Now, it is available in Levi’s, Hinoya and Bears Japan clothing
