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

[Matt]

Dammit guys.

@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.

[jordanscollected]

good choice Matt. You have too many shirts to reach for one you aren't 100% happy with

[Matt]

Agreed. Thanks for all the feedback everyone.

[Tago Mago]

@Matt if only you had some stuff in my size that you desperately want to get rid of. Life's not fair. In other news, my XL is waiting for me to be picked up on Monday. I'm not overly optimistic that I can get the fit right.

[ARNC]

@Matt but also freed up space for future acquisitions!

[Matt]

Undoubtedly.

[pechelman]

now slightly nervous about this being delivered today

[Denimminer]

Mine is delayed by weather, now I can just continue hoping it fits!

These look really short in overall length, not for a shirt in general, but for a CPO shirt. I have the IHSH-293 OD CPO and it is slightly longer than a typical shirt. Not sure I would like a CPO as short as this one appears...would it not make the pockets too high to be useful?

[Luijim78]

@SaddleSC the longest CPO 293od? mine is shorter than all the other CPOs I have of the same size, in fact the 380 work shirt looks a lot like it in my opinion

Stuck with my typical western/workshirt size (s) for this one. Fit feels good but is still slim in the sleeves but not to the point of being too tight. Reminds me of the fit of my kersey western. Love everything about this shirt though.

@jaasonmg Great fit! What cut jeans? 777?

These are actually 21oz 555 indigo snake. I have a pair of 777's but had to have them tapered. I'm a short dude so after a hem I end up with a massive leg opening. But with 555's it's not as bad so I kind of prefer that fit a bit more.

[Matt]

@jaasonmg looks like a solid fit. Congrats!

[pechelman]

Might be in the same boat as Matt. Mine is cut very strangely. It took me a bit comparing to the sizing chart and my other size large CPO's but the 389 here is cut 1" short on the front length and also 1" short from the arm hole to the gusset. It became very clear that's what was wrong when laying the shirt flat/even and seeing a bunch of the rear hanging below the bottom of the front hem. This was further confirmed but measuring the full length of the front placket. Also I'm used to minor sizing chart variations but the sleeves are over 1" short and the sleeves measure notably narrower using the method on the work shirt thread. Going to try this on one last time later today, but think this is going to have to go back unfortunately. The fabric is glorious.

I might be wrong I personally think this shirt works better a little over sized so it allows the fabric to hang and shows it off at its best.
