IHSH-389-IND - 12oz Dobby Cloth CPO Shirt - Indigo

[Matt]

I’ll be wearing it as a shirt and the body has plenty of room, that’s why I wouldn’t want to size up. It feels short, but all the photos I’ve seen and the measurements posted seem to align with that.

[Matt]

I don’t think it’s going to work. The more I look at the photo the more I think it’s too small.

[Matt]

Also, that’s not a trick of the camera… the left side is like an inch longer than the right side of the front of the shirt.

Not to unnecessarily send you back into indecision, but yours on you is how I was hoping mine would look on me--definitely not too snug IMO, particularly if wearing it as a shirt and not shacket is your preference.

Mine fits great in the shoulders and sleeve length like yours, but just a little too loose/sloppy in the midsection. Really torn on whether to keep it because the fabric is really stunning to see in person.

[Matt]

It’s totally a matter of perspective I guess. And yes, thank you for helping to further complicate my decision making process.

lol, welcome; I'm well known for my devil's advocacy.

Mine has arrived and really glad I sized up from my usual XXL to XXXL. It still seems a little shorter than I’m used to but perfect in the shoulders so my usual size would have been a struggle. It is a little bit roomier in the body than my other shirts but fits the bill perfect for an overshirt/light summer jacket.
Fit pics to follow when I’m home from work this evening.

@Matt in my opinion it suits you very well, the fabric is very elastic and drapes easily on the body and is equally easy to stretch and shape... I agree with you and the hems are the last option that I never put into practice, but in this case If so, I wouldn't even consider it, for me it's perfect as it is.

@Matt the CPO suits you well! I get the comment on the length and it remembers me on my 293-OD which also ran a bit shorter.. imo it’s not too short but in the end you need to be happy with it dude!

[Daniel San]

received mine yesterday. just did a short try on.
it’s indeed pretty short, which I really like
And the forearms are tight, but I think it will work with a little wear and a wash . Will definitely soften up and stretch a little.
awesomeness shirt

[Matt]

You’ve convinced me all. I’ll just wear it and stop thinking. Should have just taken my own usual advice from the start.

[Tobi]

Now you all got me worried about the length as well, I knew it was a bit risky to brake my own rule of not going below 30" in length for shirts.. . In Germany until Sunday, and a brown bag with a hopefully long enough XXL waiting back in Denmark.

[sabergirl]

I would size up if I were you, but I know you don’t want to do that. Does it look fine? Yes. But if it bugs you already, you’re never going to be satisfied with it, and you know it.

[goosehd]

I agree with Ann. Once the question was asked, you already knew.

[SKT]

+2 for what Ann just said

@jat

So sorry for the delay my man. Please find some pics below. These of snaps are really hard to take off due to the fabric and how hard the copper has been stamped in so I have replaced one snap and then laid couple on top as well to give you a good idea.

[Graham]

[Matt]

Dammit guys.

[DrPat]

@Matt The shoulders, sleeves, and chest look great.

The hem looks a bit tight on your right side and the left side looks short. I find it really strange that one side is shorter than the other. Have you measured the length from the armpit to the hem on both sides to compare?

Can you cross your arms and touch the opposite shoulder? Can you touch your toes? These are the two tests I use to determine if a shirt is too small.

[Matt]

Not only have I decided to return this bit I’m also gong to sell my fleece cpo that fits similarly. This shirt has wreaked all kinds of havoc in my closet.
