    @Kasi:

    @dert:

    60 wears in - sized to fit like a shirt and not a jacket - I'm getting a lot of color loss in one armpit, is armpit blowout a thing? A few months of lurking in the forums here and I have not found mention of it.

    Upload a photo

    I will soon - I want to wash it before photos to make sure it isn't some sort of salt deposit from pit sweat, however, I am having trouble going a couple days without wearing it…

        I am very close to pulling the trigger on a size large. For those that own this CPO: To what degree to you find the indigo transfers to the lighter shirts you have worn under it?

          None at all.  I've worn white T shirts under this and have never, ever had denim transfer.

          Don't sleep on this shirt. It's so amazing.  I have this one and the OD version and would instantly re-buy both if I lost them.

          Blanket-line all the things!!!

            I’ve had two examples of crocking (other than the inevitable crocking you get on roughout boot shafts/white trainers). Both have involved indigo shirts, white undershirts and water. The first was working outside in heavy rain in an IHSH-62. My white a-shirt got tied-dyed indigo, the second was an indigo vest and white tee on a warm day. The armpits on the tee got some rub off. At the same time my IHSH-33 gets worn over white tees often without issue. The key is moisture I think. Add water in the mix and indigo denim will crock onto white but it generally isn’t an issue.

              @neph93 That makes sense, thanks for the insight! Have you found that the indigo washes out of your white shirts fairly easily?

                I have found it washes out pretty well but not all the way. I suppose the fabric is a teen greeting here. All of my white t-shirts seem to have a faint blue hue to them.  😃

                  I have similar experience to the above. If you let the crocked garment dry, especially in a warm place you may struggle but generally a wash before that will get the indigo out.

                          Yeah, that’s perfect. Great purchase. I’m wearing my 178 today and loving it.

                            I’m trying to decide between this CPO or the IH-33 as my next purchase. For those that own both, which do you find you wear the most? I’ll eventually own both, it’s more a matter of which to purchase first.

                              I wear the 33 about once or twice a week. I didn't find myself wearing the CPO so I sold it a couple months back. However, I live in Los Angeles. Because of that fact, I didn't fnd a lot of use for the CPO. Where do you live @dreigh? That might color which you pick first.

                                @Wlemon I live in Nashville, where currently the summer just keeps going and going. This is a 4-season climate, but I imagine I’d get more wearable days out of the 33.

                                  Yeah, I'd agree with you @dreigh. I'd get the 33 for now if I were you. I suspect you'll get more use out of it. In the summer, I wear it as a "jacket" over a henly and, in the winter, I can layer it under a jacket. The CPO is basically a "shacket" (shirt jacket) and it would be miserable to wear during a Nashville summer. At least, from what my friend tells me about your summers.

                                    I've gotta chime in here.  I totally agree with Wlemon with regards to the frequency of use in warm weather.  I'm in the LA area as well and the 177 doesn't get as much use as a 12oz shirt would.  However!  The 177 and 178 are two of my favorite shirts and while I wouldn't wear them in 85F+, I can wear them most of the time, especially if you're working in an office with air conditioning.  That is to say, there are certain articles of IH clothing that, even if they look nice, I just could justify purchasing because they'd get 0 use in southern California, like a Primaloft mountain parka, but I wouldn't put the 177 or the 178 in that category, of unwearable in warmer climates.

                                    Besides, the 177 and 178 just so well built, straddling that line between shirt and jacket.  Plus, CPOs give you the extra pockets, which are oh-so-handy (pun kinda intended?)

                                    Blanket-line all the things!!!

                                      I'm a teacher, so I'm indoors most of my day. On those days I teach, I can wear a CPO. If I'm out and about with the kids, I can only wear them Oct through April. Give of take. Anyway, you should get both. Personally, the overdyed CPO is my favorite shirt or jacket from Iron Heart. If it's a choice between the 33 and an overdyed CPO, I'd take the latter. Moral of the story is that you should just own it all.  😃

                                          I always refer to the 177 as the last denim shirt you’ll ever need.
