Incredible Denim
Stats- 5ft 7in, weighing anywhere from 155-180 (cut vs bulk weight). At the time of review, 162-165lbs.
In order to get the right fit, I measured my favorite jacket following the How to Measure for a Mammoth video, and based on that, the fit was nearly perfect. I have T-Rex arms, so I knew the sleeves would be too long and hoped they would shrink in the wash—and they did. After a warm water wash and throwing this bad boy in the dryer for about three minutes before leaving it to air dry, the sleeves shrunk the perfect amount in length. I’d estimate the sleeve length shrinkage at around 3-5% with this method. I couldn’t tell any difference in width across the back, chest, or shoulders after the wash.
I typically wear a medium in most jackets, but I had to size up to a large for this one. Definitely measure yourself, your best-fitting jacket, and if you're between sizes, size up. The jacket will shrink after the first wash, with the amount depending on water temperature and drying method.
The silhouette of the jacket is on point—slim, slightly tapered, and cropped, making it a timeless classic that’s both modern and incredibly versatile. Though slim and tapered, I do not find this jacket restrictive in the slightest. The deep, rich indigo contrasts beautifully with the orange stitching and brass buttons, making the details pop. The denim itself is high quality, and since it’s raw, it has a beautiful texture that will evolve over time. Though stiff at first, it softens quickly. After the first wash and just a few wears, the denim softens up nicely and starts molding to your body for a custom fit.
Overall, this is a fantastic denim jacket that I would recommend to others. At this price, it’s hard to beat.
