IHSH-292-IND - 18oz Vintage Selvedge Denim CPO Shirt - Indigo

[Oaktavia]

Glad to see the fire is well fed here with the 292. Here is mine after wearing it last winter/spring. Just 46 wears (often to sleep in) and a few machine washes. I will try to take photos in the evening when the natural lighting is better. Here they are around 11am sun, laid flat on the walkway.

@Oaktavia WHAT?! 46 wears did that?! i need to wear mine every day.....

[Oaktavia]

@WhiskeySandwich yeah man it was pretty much non stop worn almost 24 hours a day for 46 days. Switching to other shirts here and there in between.

@Oaktavia bout to go to town on this thing like i did with my 362. i just have too many shirts now to rotate hahaha.

[Oaktavia]

@WhiskeySandwich I have the same issue hahaha so the best way I can deal with that is this way. Sprinting with a shirt worn all day and night for around 50 times usually does the trick with a couple washes. Eventualy I would like to be somewhat satisfied with fading and be able to wear a different, heavily faded shirt every day. Maybe when I'm in my 50s...

@Oaktavia This is an excellent example of why it's so fun and awesome to fade your garments in this denim 'hobby'. Please keep posting the progress here.

@Oaktavia looks superb. That cuff too, damn.
IH ‘PJ Method’ is next level dedication
Between the 33, 292, 293, I reckon those alone I’m probably good for shirts until I retire
But we all know that just ain’t how this ship sails…. 🫠

[WhiskeySandwich]

@Oaktavia I agree, i always try to start with a sprint, just to get to that first milestone. I enjoy a piece more once its reached a certain point then it feels like MINE. or something...

Looks so nice @Oaktavia. I love the fades, but I love the fresh new crispy denim too. I try to keep jeans and denim shirts as crispy and new as possible and then just enjoy the fading when it eventually starts.

@deanclean it looks awesome over a regular shirt as well. This beast is made for layers!

Who knows guys if this 18oz CPO is made of the same denim as 18oz jeans including indigo used?

[A Former User]

@Yoprst if i’m not mistaken it’s the same denim as where there 18oz denims are made of. So not the unsanforized they had a few years back but the same as they use on there cuts nowadays. Great fabric!!

@Yoprst the 18oz CPO is the same as jeans just sewn into different products, let me know if you have any other questions and I'll be here to help.

Thank you Josh. I was curious abt that. So now I have better idea what to expect in terms of it's denim evo as my 18oz jeans has already made some considerable fading progress and I like the way it goes.

[JoshC]

@Yoprst Yeah the 18oz is just beautiful my favourite fabric of ours in my opinion. I have a pair of 666S-18 and they have taken a good beating over the 2-3 years I have had them, now I have them in a 888 cut as well which is perfect for my body type

[Yoprst]

@JoshC I'm not much experienced in IH products but so far I didn't find any of them being not quite to my taste. I like18oz fabric for it's fast response to my efforts to fade it the way I love and for that fabulous old school indigo shades it shows along the way.
