I second the motion! That looks like the perfect fit for me as well, I would also be stoked haha

Swallowed Div Road's hefty postage and picked up their last medium. It kinda takes me back to my pre-IH 'geography teacher' style - think cord blazers, v-neck jumpers and Doc Martens shoes. To get something of that but with IH build quality, in the single nicest fabric I've ever had, makes it a great collaboration imo. I think the fabric needs the cut and details though - I'm not sure the regular work cut would suit it. I suppose any collab needs to feel just enough but not too much incongruity. To be sure, it's a funny place to see that 'motorcycle specialties' label, but I'd love to see more, sort of… well-dressed boho stuff from IH. I guess that's a long way from Haraki-san's style however.
Having said all that, as a skinny, arseless cove, I got a fit that I'm really happy with. This one suits the slimmer frame. Can't take any shrink though, so I'll be waiting to see if anyone else follows Giles' cavalier and unofficial advice and tries washing it.

I received this shirt as a surprise 10 year anniversary gift from my boss (excuse the lame pairing with tight shorts). It fits a little flowy in the body (size xl) but I think a large would be too tight across the chest and same with the opening. This collab is simply cut different than most IH work/CPO shirts and i'm willing to embrace it.
I can't find the words to express my love and appreciation for the fabric, and I also can't wait to get it into rotation once the weather cools back down.
Thank you @Alex and team for going completely out of your way to help with a sizing issue. Division road was also very accommodating to a problem that wasn't theirs to fix.
Lastly, I asked for and received a little peek "behind the curtain" on future collaborations with Division Road/Fox Brothers, and while I won't divulge everything I learned, I can say these 2 first iterations are extra special releases.

…@jordanscollected that's quite a nice gift my friend.
Makes me want to take up pipe smoking. 
...got my eye on the Houndstooth version, still two sitting there, baiting me.

Thanks Matt and Ed, Rory too! It’s amazing and I can’t wait to wear it. Heat wave coming for MN so it’ll be a but, but you all know if there’s one thing I’m good at, it’s over posting pictures. Stay tuned.

…@steelworker in a PM with Jeff I mentioned to him everyone in the 'Piccadilly Houndstooth' thread looks great in their shirt but your pic with the country backdrop, green undershirt and faded blue jeans makes that shirt look really outstanding to me!
...so if I pop for it (which I think is a foregone conclusion) it's your doing!
