IHSH-177 - 18oz Selvedge Denim CPO Shirt - Indigo
-
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.

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

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.

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

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.

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’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'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?)

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.

@Paul9221 Do you own the IHSH-177 in the same size as your IHSH-211 (duck CPO)? I just got the IHSH-211 in size large and I am happy with the length, do you find the 211 and 177 to be similar in length? I ask because I tried the overdyed CPO and though it was a good fit through the arms/shoulders/chest, it was quite short in the body for me.

Hrmmm, I'm usually mostly concerned about P2P and sleeve length so I can't recall how those two compared with regards to the total body length. Give me a few minutes and I'll compare them, but I did get them both in the same size.

The overdying process shrinks the fabric, [url=https://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=15690]@dreigh. That could explain the sizing. Also, you can ask the crew for the "longest" in your size when you order.
