@Oaktavia amazing fades, just outstanding. I’m sure you’ll be bringing this beauty to Gosport in September to receive your well-deserved admiration

I am going to wear it as hard as I can until Gosport in September, that's my plan!

I’ve got the 292 and 293 OD so I’m wondering if I really need the 409? Think it would be a little too redundant? What you’ve done with it is absolutely amazing!!

[bluemantra]

@pjroo33 I've got the 293-OD and I love the way ib fades, but I just can't justify it at this point, but I may end up regretting not getting it. I also did just buy the 389-CPO.

I cannot tell you if you need a 409, but if the redundancy you are referring to is to point out similarities, they are quite different denims. With that said, some folks with an interest in IH value buying fewer, longer lasting pieces. I am not exactly of those people, because I obsess over certain denims, but it is something I at least try to be mindful of.

How old are your 292 and 293? It will take time to yield fades with any shirt. Buying three new ones around the same time will take a few years to properly fade all three of them. But if fades are not important to you, adding an arsenal of CPOs could be pretty great.

The colors of the 292, 293 and 409 are all quite different. The way in which they fade is dissimilar, all three denims change quite a bit with lots of wear but in their own unique colorways. The weight of the fabrics may only be 1oz of difference on paper, but the actual feel of the 18oz to 19oz is crazy. The 19oz just feels much more substantial than either of the 18ozers. The 409 is also the heaviest CPO IH has made so far, so there is that. I could go on, but my mind is wandering.
