Mine just came today, and all I can say is wow, it's like wearing armor but comfortable.

Also special thanks to Paula for measuring the shoulders of every medium and sending me the best fit.

Really guys amazing service.

If you get a chance you should post up some fit pictures, would greatly be appreciated.

@DrPat:

In relation to 24.2in the thickness of the denim is negligible.  It seems to me that the stiffness is more responsible for a tighter feeling.

I have to agree on this.  The shirt is very stiff when new, feels like wearing cardboard (for a lack of a better word).  I hope it will become more pilable with age and wear.

It seems you have to really give this thing a beating before any grey appears. Was thinking about it but seems like alot of work for something I couldn't wear everyday.

Denim shirts are definitely stubborn, at least the 27 sure has been. But after nearly a year, the 27 starts to give in and it's certainly my favorite IH item I've purchased (superblack type 3 a close 2nd). This is a shirt that will one day be my next project.

Needs to happen.

This thing is amazing, stiffest upper-body garment I've ever owned

I guess it indicates that I need to go on a diet when I make a XXL look this small

I've found that a spray-down with a regular spray bottle (like the ones you use for flowers or ironing) takes away the smell and the worst grime for this shirt (you shouldn't wash it too quickly they claim). Shirt turned out like new for me, and no white streaks

[crankyfart]

just wondering, when they say fades to grey, does it mean after years of wearing, the shirt will turn/change to lighter tone of black (no longer solid black) and the fades are streaks of grey? just had this thought suddenly. pardon my stupidity. 

so i edit to rephrase my question. maybe the initial one was badly phrased.

Don't think so.  I suppose the black will get lighter and the high friction areas will fade to grey/black.

@omega man- didn't mean to ask a stupid question but im looking a black overshirt and the IHSH-08SS looked fantastic and tempting but its extinct and so the choice is left with this which im wondering how different it would be compared to the SS.

@hajduk - that face for? pardon my ignorance on the question posted. just kinda confused.
