IHSH-409-IB - 19oz Selvedge Denim CPO Shirt - Indigo/Black
-
I want this bad but I think I have to sit it out since I just bought two shirts and have my lefty type3 ... Can't even wear these enough
-
Someone might have an answer for this: does this shirt feel stiff/ cardboard-y as ihsh-362? I know it is heavier, but that is not always the truth.
-
But compared to the 362 how breathable is it? I feel like my 16oz western does not let any air through
-
@FlavourFade I will leave breathability / comfort info to the man himself @Oaktavia who's been wearing it these past months!
-
@AdamJ thanks for the info!

Both 361 and 409 are heavy as hell, thick fabrics. 361 is smooth, uniform and dense. 409 is textured (but not slubby), rough and also dense. Hope that helps...it is hard for me to come up with more adjectives to describe the two. 409 is crispy and crunchy. 361/362 are bendy and stay in position when creased.

I will also say to those considering purchasing a 409, the sample was like a tailored fit for me. It was form fitting like a glove from day one and I only let it touch cold water, not hot water.
With IHs armpits being on the high side with some measurements on shirts, this one was definitely snug in the armpit area. Particularly underneath/bottom of the armpit, so it was not comfortable to wear anything besides a form fitting tshirt underneath. Anything a little loose in the sleeves tshirt wise would bunch up. So if you want to go for a for fitting/tailored look, which many of you folks on here prefer, consider this. The break in process was hard but totally worth it when the armpit fabric relaxed. Took me a couple of months before I stopped noticing it. So worth it if you like your shirts/CPOs this way.
If you go for a more relaxed fit as an outer layer, bearing in mine and remembering the fabric is a heavy as heck 19oz, it will be a much easier wear. I thought about getting another 409 for a shell layer, but I have my eyes set on my 361 next. Either way, this CPO is amazing imo.
Please let me know if anyone has any more questions. I am happy to help and answer the best I can. Stoked for Monday!

Thanks for the chart and @Oaktavia's input, will have to ponder the size over the weekend. Might just go roomy and relaxed on this one.
-
@Cskarev Yep, we'll have this heavy beauty.
-
Is this release one and done?
-
@bluemantra After this release they will have used up all the denim. So yes.
-
That changes everything :man-running:
-
@FlavourFade the 409 is a must have piece even if they would make it again

Basically, we did a single run of this denim for a retailer. Retailer then flaked on us and he did not use it. We did.....
-
Is it strange that after knowing the story, I want it even more now?
Epic denim, epic shirt! -
I bought a pair of the 19ib jeans back in 2020 that @Giles refers to above. They are fast faders and one of my favorite pairs in rotation. They are still somewhat crunchy today and a brighter blue color than the other IH denims - a great denim overall. Here’s some pics for those interested in the fade factor in addition to those that @Oaktavia has shared above. If you want a CPO, you won’t want to sleep on this one.
