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

[Matt]

If it’s anything like the 178 I’d look at it this way. You can’t wear it all the time, but when you can wear it you’ll be really happy that you have one.  And when you can’t wear it, it’s a pleasure to look at and dream about wearing.

Certainly can’t layer with it in the UK at present, but can wear over a t shirt in lower 60F temps. It’s heavy when held, but not when worn. Worn opened it wears loose. As a shacket, in winter, you could easily layer on top of it.

Cheers @Matt @Richard , helpful. I’m eyeing a few things and trying to make up my mind. This is a strong contender, but then unfortunately so is everything else from IH.

I can definitely relate.  If it were me I’d prioritize this one.  Go back through the threads for the previous two iterations of the prohibitively heavy denim CPO’s and you’ll see scores of people lamenting not getting one when they had the chance.  They also don’t come up on the 2nd hand market as often because once you get your hands on one you don’t want to let it go.

Two months wear, no wash. The denim has really softened. Feels like a very heavy linen.

That shirt is so great on so many levels !
Enjoy/Wear this one a lot–the evo to come will be so good

@Richard lovely combo with the burgundy tee under it 

[dinobarnesberlin]

I was thinking the same thing there @motojobobo

[Richard]

Thanks @dinobarnesberlin and @motojobobo

coming along great @Richard. If I get this for my birthday (fingers crossed), I will not hesitate to pair it with OD jeans.

You’ll seriously enjoy it riding horses.

Ok first ever post so be gentle. Delighted with my CPO shirt, I went for XXXL which is a perfect fit across shoulders (bit snug across the stomach) Just wondering if I should expect any ‘give’ once I’ve worn it for a few weeks? Even half an inch will mean I can do it up too

We’re all gentle here [emoji1]

It is a twill weave, so yes there will be a little stretch. The seams all relax a little and the shirt will loosen with use.

Looking to give my 293 it’s first soak in the tub is it likely to shrink?
