Hi everyone,

I'm an M (fits well in the shoulders, but the arms and body could be more fitting). The jacket seems a tad big to the eye, but the small was just too narrow for my shoulders. I was thinking of soaking it in hot water to shrink it to fit or at least a little. I've done it with APC's but I am new to doing it with Levi's jackets. Have done some research, but can't do it without advice from you chaps.
Any pointers appreciated.

Anyone know how to shrink this to make it fit just right and how much it does shrink?

Details:
I have not worn it often (not even close to breaking it in). It's White Oak Denim (not sure if it's sanfordized).

Here is the jacket: http://reviews.us.levi.com/1341/10940722/reviews.htm
