IHSH-293-OD - 18oz Vintage Selvedge Denim CPO Shirt - Indigo Overdyed Black
-
After shoveling snow this morning in 0 F temperatures I have finally decided that I need this shirt in my life. I've read through all the previous posts about sizing. It seems the general consensus is to stick with your normal IH shirt sizing even if you plan on layering over something thicker than a t-shirt.
Has anyone sized up on this from their normal IH shirt sizing? And what was your experience?
I'm leaning towards sticking with my normal IH sizing (size medium), but the measurements are a little on the smaller side for waist and opening so I'm considering sizing up to a large knowing that the shoulder and sleeve measurements are gonna be a little too big.
Anyways just thinking out loud before I drop $415 on this. Any advice would be welcomed and greatly appreciated. Thank you.

This CPO is awesome. However, I can't wear this layered over anything much heavier than a t-shirt in my normal IH sizing. I took this in a Large, I have the non-OD in a Large, and several UHFs also in Large. The non-OD can be worn over the UHFs, but this OD can't be. That said, neither of them can have their cuffs snapped closed over the cuffs of a UHF, the cuffs on this are too narrow to fit over the bulky cuffs of a UHF. If you absolutely need to wear this over something bulky, size up. That said, I personally wear this just as a shacket over a t-shirt, for a slimmer, more streamlined fit, and it works great for that.

@Nobunaga the original versions of these shirts (IHSH-76 and -99) had the CPO cut and were sized big. So the XL measured like an XXL at the chest, while also being longer in the body and arm and wider at the shoulder and waist.
These versions are sized more like regular UHF’s except for the typical IH CPO cut differences.
Tl/Dr: tts if you want it as a shirt, size up to wear over a hoodie, UHF, etc. like @rydor said.

@JP (not sure why it isn't tagging), Self Edge has size medium in stock.

Thank you so much for this! I'm so sorry - I should've said IH in the UK. I'd love to order the one at Self Edge but import duties and shipping are insanely expensive. But thank you!

Slow and steady.

Thanks @Paul9221. Nola did not feel the same about it today.

Lovely!
I've been hiking in mine (with 888-XHS). I get some strange looks but they'll be jealous of my fades soon
Seriously though, in southern California, these shirts are perfect for early morning hikes. They're just warm enough to keep you comfortable as you start, but breathe well enough to keep you from overheating towards the end.

Bangin' awesome man.
Cheers buddy

Yeh definitely been alternating between the IND & the OD all winter and seem to be bulletproof keeping me warm while working

Half an hour into what will probably be about ten years wearing this beauty. I paired with my least flattering keks just to prove that this shirt makes everything great.
I’ve also noticed it makes life better too. Must be the felled seams or something!? Or Perhaps Haraki sprinkles magic dust into the pockets… I don’t know but whatever your doing Crew, keep it up. Thanks Ben for the measurements, thanks everyone for posting the excellent pics and thoughts which tempted me over the edge, and finally thanks to my mum for giving me the physique to fit into the last Small.
Mahalo!
