IHDR-434-HHG - 14oz Fox Brothers® Check Flannel CPO Shirt - Rustic Yellow, Hickory & Hunter Green

[Fadez]

The thing for me is placement for my big phone. In an outer wear I’d like it to be able to carry. Phone, wallet, keys, and headphones. The 4 pocket CPO does the trick. With a heavyweight fabric, I’d like to be able to do that. And @Graham the cigar brown is calling my name. It’s so beautiful. I may have to take your advice

If this shirt included hand warmer pockets the price would be closer to $600 I'd guess. I realize it's "close enough" already at $550, but hand pockets aren't free.

I have the Gun Club version of this and while I initially wished it had hand pockets, I'm now glad it doesn't. It's a classy yet casual wool flannel that's unparalleled in the shirt game. You don't know how great the fabric is until you see and feel it in person. It is 100/100.

Regarding the "CPO" naming of it, I asked this question on a live stream a few FW presentations ago and was quickly shot down by @Giles when I mentioned that a CPO has to have hand pockets. They can have hand pockets or not, they can have one chest pocket or 2. What us IH fans see when we think CPO is not the standard across the clothing industry.

The fit on this DR collab is different from how Haraki normally specs his shirts. A bit more flowy in the body when you get your chest measurement on point. I love as a stand alone button up, or I can easily wear it as a shirt jacket. I take my typical size XL in these but I know some sized down to accommodate the roomier cut.

From the information in this article: https://www.heddels.com/2019/10/under-the-cpo-the-quintessential-shirt-jacket/

The original 1930’s model’s did not have hand warmers and many only had one chest pocket. As Jeff mentioned, I feel it’s how we interpret “CPO” that may be at issue here.

I think @Fadez nails it here: a CPO has hand warmers, does it not?

Not always. It is not a defining feature of a CPO shirt, historically

@flannel-slut I feel ya. This will likely bump a FW shirt outta my life, but I don’t see how I pass on this beauty….

@goosehd Maybe its weird to say it, but I think about the IH CPOs as some sort of a blazer. Always some UHF or Henley + vest underneath.

[profdbrk]

I will get over that I like pockets because this piece is just too extraordinary to pass by. My birthday is this week, as if I need an excuse. I may even get to Vahalla if I die wearing this---how could Odin deny me if I promise to lend it to him.

If this pic doesn’t convince you guys of the goodness of this shirt, nothing will:

Johnny looks awesome in this!!

The champiest

[flannel slut]

I will add Ds post, the hand feel of this wool is the definition of luxurious

[Fadez]

@goosehd Yeah, It’s a damn good looking shirt that’s for sure!

[SKT]

Feels like I'm being forced to decide which one of my kids doesn’t get Christmas this year. Sad, not sad

[Buckeye]

That’s a stunner. Out of curiosity, given the 100% lambwool… will it be itchy?

[SKT]

@Buckeye I have fairly sensative skin and have the gun check version of this shirt. It’s been very pleasant to wear and I haven’t had any itchy feeling. Hope that helps.
