IHSH-216-NAV - Heavy Moleskin CPO Shirt - Navy

[Jett129]

Been anxiously waiting for this one.

@Wlemon:

I wonder if it would be possible to wear UHF under this. I feel like the "Woddy" would look amazing.

Check the measurements. CPO’s are cut with less taper in the waist precisely to facilitate layering. They can totally be used as a jacket.

If your UHF’s are fitted then I see no reason why you can’t try. You could even check the next size up. I used an XXL IHSH-76 over a JC II for a while.

Although layering shouldn't cause a problem in the body, I imagine it would be difficult to get the CPO sleeve over the UHF sleeve, especially at the cuff.

I can layer my IHW-01 over a thin flannel of the same size without a problem.  The mid-weight flannels can be layered with difficulty, with the difficulty occurring in the arms.

I do love the look of this shirt but I REALLY dont need another blue shirt.

I suffer from precisely the same affliction!

On the plus side, when I do get something new and blue, nine times out of ten the Mrs doesn’t realise! [emoji869]

But it’s Moleskin. That trumps Blue.

I have the tan one. Tomorrow, I'll see if it's possible to fit a UHF or any IH shirt underneath. I'd do it now but my closet is in my nine-month old's room. If I wake her, I am dead.

I should pass on this one because I have too many blue shirts but this is such a beauty.

Eagerly awaiting measurements. If the opening is a skootch wider than the 216, I will have to get this, blue wardrobe be damned.

Does this material stretch or shrink?

[neph93]

The crew will confirm but I suspect it is once washed, so no shrinkage. Moleskin is quite densly woven so shouldn’t stretch much either.

[Wlemon]

@jat I have last year's model, and, assuming its the same fabric, you shouldn't get any shrinkage from a cold wash. I have also not found the material very "giveable," too. If you're hoping it will stretch like denim, it won't, unfortunately. It has a wonderful, almost velvet-like feel to it, though.

[Wlemon]

To the previous discussion, here's a UHF under last year's model.

[sabergirl]

Man, my 162 in medium is almost a full inch larger in the opening, and I love the fit on that one. Maybe I’ll gamble and ask for the biggest? Don’t think sizing up will be the fit I want. Dang

@Wlemon That looks awesome,now I really can’t wait!

[Wlemon]

@Jett129 It's a strange feeling to have the "shirt" feel heavier than the "jacket" but that's where we are at.

Well that combo is just bloody lovely. Comfortable fit too?

[Wlemon]

Yes. Not bad, actually. I probably do a lighter flannel to be honest, though.
