IHSH-252-IND - 14.7oz Eco Selvedge Denim Blanket Lined CPO Shirt - Indigo

[Matt]

I went TTS.  I sized up for the 106 but those had slightly smaller than typical measurements. I reached out to the IH crew and they confirmed they were going with their normal UHF sizes despite the shoulders.  The longer arms should even that out as previously mentioned.  I’ll let you know when it gets here on Thursday.

Any ideas, input, suggestions?

I agree with Chris that p2p is more important than shoulder size for attaining the correct fit, and as such I would stick with my normal size in this shirt.

Spot on sir, The shirt pictured is an XL and fits great over my (pretty much always XL) shirts and also fits great as a stand alone over a tee.

True… the 105 and the 106 product Pages advised sizing up too. I think the lining on them was a lot thicker (mo’ thicc?) in the body than the blanket lining on these.

Here are some fast fit shots.  I hope to get some action shots in the wild this weekend…

TTS was the right choice for me.  I plan on wearing it as a shirt, not an overshirt.  The next size up, a large, would accommodate layering better for me.

If you missed out on the previous versions of blanket lined Westerns this one is a must have.

This Eco Selvedge is some serious shit.

@Matt  great job with the write up and artwork. That’s the CPO fit I love. Looks great, not least with the rest of the kit. Interested to hear how that denim wears in.

Pulled the trigger on this yesterday….....breaking strain of an over dunked digestive.........absolutely impeccable piece of work.
Thanks Graham and Paula for getting it sorted so quickly.......over and above service as always.
The Eco is something else!

Love it. You’re not alone and it is a sentiment I’ve seen expressed here many times, but never as poetically [emoji1]

Cheers @neph93……….aye my resolve appears to be inversely proportional to my age (and a sale lol.)
Heading to Aberdeen for the week so the 252 is going to get a proper workout under my IHM-26 - fingers crossed for a cold snap (just not quite Northern Norway cold).

-5C in the air, with a brutal wind, straight out of Siberia today. I love it. Enjoy Aberdeen!

You're not selling it that well @neph93

I’ll admit, it is an acquired taste… but after three weeks of storm force westerlies and pissing down rain, it’s a blessed relief.

[jason1967]

God aye anything but constant rain…………..did some work offshore Norway a few years ago during the summer months and the ever-lasting daylight was something else.

The thing I enjoy is the dynamic nature of the environment, both in terms of light/dark, and the weather. It’s in continual flux, daily and seasonally.

Were you at the Snehvit facility? Equinor?

[jason1967]

I must admit I would envy you he clear cold days……...good test of the clothes!

haven't been out that way for a few years now (Statoil days) and hopped around Ekofisk and Ormen Lange for a while.

Snehvit is up the Barents Sea way isn't it...…...quite a lot going on up there I hear right now...……..are you that far North?

It’s -36F today.  One thing I love about Alaska, I can comfortably wear 25oz denim and flannels every single day of the year.

.  I think you kind of have to wear 25OZ denim and UHFs,every day,just, to be comfortable.

The artistry of Japanese weavers was too much for it I assume. Excellent.

I’m in Bodø, btw. Not as far north as Snehvit, by a long shot, but still about 150km north of the artic circle. After 20 years here I still forget how much country there is to the north of us. A plane to Oslo takes 90 min from here, but it is also 60min up to Tromsø.
