EV Jacket question

Hey peeps, I bought an EV Dickies jacket from the tour and I am wondering if I should wash it to soften it up some...Anyone familiar with Dickies products? I have a couple pairs of pants, but they are 10 years old, and I dont think a jacket will break in as fast as a pair of pants will...Will it shrink if I wash it?

    difficult question to answer I know, but whats the fit of these things like?

    Sizes of merch around here varies so much thats all, and I hope to grab one of these if Tenclub sell them

    It is a good fit. sleeve length is perfect, but the length is right at the waist, so you may want to order the next size up if length matters...

    it will shrink some...and as far as softening up, it'll just take a while to achieve it...won't necessarily soften up just by washing it...Dickies stuff is pretty rigid

    So using Tide Lemon & Bounce is all good? :geek:

    I found that i was out of luck with this item fitting me.The LG was to short and the XL sleeves were to short.I wondered later if it was just the two that i tried on were just out of whack.

    I'd also like to pick one of these up from the 10 club if they are sold here. How do the sizes run? If I'm a medium, should I go with that?
