IHSH-409-IB - 19oz Selvedge Denim CPO Shirt - Indigo/Black

[sabergirl]

Can’t think of a better place for a sample to land. Give it hell, @Oaktavia !

[Oaktavia]

Well folks, the sample has landed. It fits like a glove and is quite heavy and rigid. The color is unlike the 14ozib or XHSib, and really it's unlike any other indigo denim I've seen. It's a dark, royal blue, super rich in saturation. Parts of the shirt have already lost a lot of indigo, like around the collar and opening. That seems to be an indicator that this CPO will fade with high contrast. Time will tell...I've been wearing it around the house for the past hour or so and absolutely love it. Thank you @Alex for hitting me up for this challenge. I will document the shit out of it here. I have posted some photos but the outdoor lighting at noon is less than ideal. I will take and post more photos at sunset during the Golden Hour.

@Oaktavia -looking sharp. I like the look of it. Does this mean your efforts on the 16oz black western is going to be interrupted? Wore mine for the last couple of days - love it

Yes indeed! And it feels great. I've also lost 20lbs recently due to eating better and drinking less IPAs.

Yep, my 16oz will be worn less than this sample. I'll be wearing both of them, but this one will be worn more and favored over the SBG. I love them both, but this one I am more drawn to.

Thanks buddy!

[sabergirl]

That denim looks noice!

[Oaktavia]

@sabergirl it has a unique indigo beauty to it!

[Fadez]

I love how it looks a little purple in some places. I think the indigo will develop some lovely character on this piece

This is gonna be a fun thread to watch! @Oaktavia If you don’t mind, would love to see the 19ib denim next to the other ib denims you have - 14oz, 21oz, 25oz

@Oaktavia should consider a job change to full time fader .. I imagine you running around in the woods while wearing 3 shirts on top of each other. Occasionally swapping them around and jumping into random rivers for natural soaks.
