IHSH-292-IND - 18oz Vintage Selvedge Denim CPO Shirt - Indigo
-
I own both IHSH-292-IND and IHSH-293-OD.
My upper body is rather skinny; the OD version fits like a glove (I love to wear it like a shirt).However, the 292 (though close in inch to the OD one / small variations here and there), I find it a bit loose (not much, works better on top of a thermal shirt / hoodie than as simple shirt over a t-shirt). I also wear it on top of my military serge or wabash.
Both are size S. Has anyone tried to shrink the 292? I tried hot soak / not much)?
I am following up the re-stocks and will go for an XS, that is for sure! These are just incredible pieces!
[PS: does anyone have any experience with IHSH-177 / size wise?]

Both these shirts started the same. The 293 is taken from the same batch of shirts as the 292. While there is often small differences in sizing within a batch, the difference you notice is mostly due to the overdying. It is an extreme process in terms of heat, agitation and chemical reaction and removes all shrinkage from the fabric.
QED, there is shrinkage in the fabric, however you will find it very hard to replicate the OD process without access to industrial hardware. The closest you’ll get is a 90C wash followed by a tumble dry. While this should result in shrinkage, I would fear for the negative affects. You’d be fortunate to avoid marbling and/or abrasion lines.
If I recall correctly, the 177’s came up larger than than the 292’s. Broader in the shoulder and wider in the waist.

I appreciate the insights!
I wouldn’t try to replicate the OD process and risk ruining a beautiful shirt!I’ll just wait for a restock on XS. Thanks again

Picked up one of these (very) gently used and am blown away. I bought my UHF size and it fits perfectly over a t shirt or even a lightweight button down. The shirt I picked up has a GAH snap too which is great. Will post pictures at some point.. but for now wanted to share the excitement.
