First IH CPO. Very excited to see how this one develops over the coming years. 6’0, 185lbs, 40 inch chest. Went with XL so that it can be both an overshirt/shacket. Sleeves feel a touch long but hopefully with some stacking they end up perfect. Love this thing.

RE: IHSH-397-IND - 21oz Sashiko Work Shirt - Indigo
The suspense was real with this one. Had to wait 8 days for it to arrive. Like many I felt right in between sizes - Large and XL. But given the measurements, felt my usual size (large) was more likely to work. XL measurements looked bigger than any shirt I own. Overall, the large is a pretty good fit, but I could use .5 inches more in the shoulder. Even with slightly tighter shoulders, I think it’s a keeper and XL would’ve been too big. Those who have had it for a few days, as it softens do you feel more give/space in certain areas? 6’0, 84kg/185lbs, 40.5 inch chest. Appreciate any thoughts!

As fate would have it, I unexpectedly found an XL in store this weekend, and it fit perfectly. No tightness in the shoulders and a tiny bit more breathing room. While the Large looks amazing, the XL is a lot more comfortable. A learning experience with thicker, denser fabrics to go up when in between sizes. This is definitely the shirt of the year and it’s not close.
XL vs L

RE: Freenote Cloth
@RobeOfTheMagi in case you’re still considering… I’m 6ft, 85kg, 41 inch chest. I’m between Large and XL in IH, depending on the piece. I have this exact jacket and went with Large. With the thicker lining and dense fabric, I think you’d appreciate a touch of extra room as opposed to being too fitted. I’ve tried Mediums in this jacket and find they’re very snug on me. I am a bit bigger than you but I’d lean Large.

RE: IHM-37-ODG - Oiled Whipcord N1 Deck Jacket - Olive Drab Green
Bit of a random one but hoping someone can help! I absolutely love this jacket but I don’t love the way the drawstrings hang out beneath the jacket. Can anyone recommend a specific knot that could wrap up the string nicely and not show anything beneath? Or can the string be taken out altogether?

@PJ I did exactly the same thing. The XL chest looked much bigger than anything I own as well. Fingers crossed!

@T4920 please post a first wash measurement update! Very nervous about how much shrinkage it might get..

Oni 20oz Secret Denim Coverall - 40(M)
This is an incredible jacket from Oni. I've owned for a couple of years but have been living abroad mostly during that time and it's been at home. Discovered after coming home that the fit is too slim for my current taste. Such a beautiful jacket, if I can find a large I'll replace it. Very very lightly worn, maybe 6 times. Beautiful piece that l'd be very sad to let go. No visible signs of fading, the faintest if any.
I wear IH Large/XL, and I’m one size too big for this. Asking $300, shipping to be discussed. A beautiful jacket that is very hard to find now (I know, I’m looking for a large!)

FS: Rogue Territory Tan Ridgeline Supply Jacket (L)
I’m going through my closet and being ruthless with the fit of my stuff. I take exceptionally good care of my wardrobe.
I’ve had this Rogue Territory Tan Ridgeline Supply jacket (Large) for a couple of years, but I’ve hardly worn it as I knew from the beginning it was too slim. I’ve worn it maybe 8 times, still in excellent condition. $250 + shipping within U.S. Can discuss shipments to other regions.
Measurement:
- Chest: 43 inches
- Length: 26.3
- Sleeve: 25.5
- Shoulder: 18.3

FS: Freenote Cloth Cayucos Shirt Brown (M)
This is a gorgeous summer shirt from Freenote. Unfortunately I knew when it arrived it was a touch too small on me. I want to sell fast and rebuy my size on Black Friday. Worn maybe twice, good as new. $175 USD shipped (subject to where it’s being shipped..)
Chest: 22.5 inch
Length: 27 inch
Sleeve: 9.125 inch
Shoulder: 18.5 inch -

RE: Freenote Cloth
@Max-Power congrats on this pick up! I got mine in December last year, and I think it’s my favourite single piece of clothing I own. Such a fantastic fabric.
