IHSH-293-OD - 18oz Vintage Selvedge Denim CPO Shirt - Indigo Overdyed Black

[boutsk]

Scored this one on kleinanzeigen, second hand but in great shape (almost new). Size is L (I am 184cm and 84kg when pictures taken- now 80kg). I have a 526pj in XL to wear with my thicker shirts, so gonna rock this just with t-shirts. I am quite impressed with the quality. Definitely my favourite shirt!

@boutsk this is the fit I'm going for. I'm 2" taller and stick skinny, I'm wondering if I should go with the Large anyways. I had TJ at Shop Vancouver measure their XL and it came up sounding way big so I don't want to end up making a mistake

Depends on the fit that you like. I could have gonne with XL for a looser fit and wear it also as an overshirt. Unfortunately, regarding Japanese tops, L are a bit snug and XL a bit loose for me. When I want to layer underneath, I choose XL (and they still look a bit loose).And size L if I wear them just with a t-shirt. It's style vs comfort for me

@boutsk thanks for the response! now lemme ask, do you have a UHF in size Large? if so, how does the fit compare to the CPO?

[T4920]

@cbmyles sizing will vary from run to run, but generally speaking the CPO shirts tend to be cut to be overshirts and are a little more spacious.

I can wear my large 293 over any of my other large IH shirts and the fit is perfect.

[cbmyles]

@T4920 sounds like I should snag a Large then! definitely do not want it coming up oversized

Unfortunately I don't have any IH UHF. I have the ihsh-33 denim shirt and fit is very similar. Maybe 293 is a bit shorter

[pechelman]

trust the measurements and also be patient with it. The 18oz is a bit more stubborn and stiff compared to a UHF where it may not be comfortable right away for you. I've got a Large in the 293 and a variety of Western UHF's. Most are XL (so I dont need to worry much about how I wash/dry them) but also at least a couple L's. I'd say the 293 fits pretty comparably in the chest/body to those Large Western UHF's, especially the overdyed anniversary flannel from a couple years back. For me, the 293 is generally my most "tailored" fitting piece with very high arm holes and the thicker/stiffer fabric making it look and wear a little slimmer.

[cbmyles]

after alot of consideration, I just pulled the trigger on an XL from The Shop Vancouver. I do plan on wearing it over a hoodie or flannel so I figured sizing up was the safer bet. I had TJ send me the narrower of the two he had in stock. fingers crossed!

[cbmyles]

don't think I could have got a better fit on this one! looks great with a tee and can fit my uhf or a hoodie underneath. stoked for fall!

[Graham]

Lovely!

Happy new shirt day! Bring on the fall.

[Mister_Brue]

@cbmyles Looks perfect!

[Oaktavia]

@cbmyles goes well with your look too. I'm ready for fall as well, I dig the spooky skeleton on your door.

OD CPO incoming... Snagged it for a really good price.

[AdamJ]

@tody Nice one, one of the best shirts we make IMO

[Jan_L.]

@tody did we talked on eBay kleinanzeigen this morning?

[weftyarn]

yay, congrats @tody
XXL?

[tody]

@Jan_L looks like we did!
@weftyarn XXXL, that's what I have in my 177.

I also picked this shirt up in the Self Edge sale. It will be my first Iron Heart item.

Hope I sized right, went with medium at 5'10" 145 lbs, 38" chest. I'm usually in between small and medium in most brands.

[Oroccoco]

@Easystride medium sounds right. I'd like to be a fly on the wall when you first handle it. It's at the heavyweight end of the spectrum even for IH!
