      Just to update, I remeasured immediately after washing (and a very low heat iron), and compared to the ‘out of the bag’ measurements, it had snugged up upto half and inch through the body (chest, waist and opening) as well as in the back length - not much movement in the shoulders or the sleeve though.

      I was not able to wear it over the weekend (except for Friday date night), but will now see whether it eases back out with wear - initial impressions are that the chest has loosened up once more, and I’m using the pockets to see whether I can regain some of the lost length in the body (nothing too vigorous).

        Very unscientific, but you can get an impression of the post-wash length difference in the before and after photos (against the fly placket).

          16 wears in 21 days with 1 wash - it’s not missed a beat, whatever I’ve thrown at it so far… 👌

            @Nocturama hell yeah the hickory looks fantastic as a CPO. Even better looking broken in like this.

              After cleaning out the barbecue recently, and more work in the garage, the shirt was looking a bit grimy. I’ve started to see some wear and a little bit of smudging in high wear/crease areas, as reported in the other hickory shirt threads, so it’s been in for the second wash…currently drip drying. Pre-rinse, then 30’ wash for 30 minutes (400rpm spin) and I’ve tugged the shirt out to maintain the length in the body and the arms.

                  Yeah man! My hickory hat has the same thing going on. It is a unique type of fading/crocking at the same time. I dig it!

                    I’ve loved every minute of wearing it - 23 wears in 30 days since it was delivered, and no holding back.
                    Only problem is that on the odd day of not wearing it, I’ve frequently reached for the pockets that have not been present! 😄

                      @Nocturama the two worst things about CPOs are the missing pockets on other shirts and dropping stuff on the floor when you forget they don’t have internal pockets like type IIIs!

                        The side pockets are pretty much 100% necessary for me at this point. The only exception are the chambrays. If IH makes a chambray CPO… I’m done for

                            ,,,and to be fair, it is quilt lined and I don’t recall a true unlined chambray CPO. So you’re good this time.

                            Thanks for reminding me to keep looking for the 106 though 🙂

                              Is there a rough estimate of when this will be released?

                                      Today is the 47th wear of this amazing shirt - in the last 63 days. It has had 2 x 30’ low spin washes.
                                      Where it tightened up post-wash, it has generally eased back out with wears (chest and waist).
                                      The back length and sleeve have shortened by 0.5” to 0.75” since new - that will be down to creasing as much as the wash process, as I do spend too much time sat down at my desk.

                                      Comparing the lower and higher wear areas, the definition in the indigo and white has definitely changed - the indigo has slightly dulled the white, and the white weft is more prominent within the indigo. There is a blue sheen in certain lights, but it is difficult to explain and/or photograph.

                                      Low wear:

                                      High wear:
                                      IMG_0911.jpeg

                                      I’ve not babied the shirt at all, so whilst I’m not hitting it with hard labour everyday, it’s had it’s fair share of dirt, grime and a little grease thrown its way. The hickory has definitely become softer (more pliable) with wear, although it was never ‘crunchy’ in the first place. It wears so well - It’s perfect for this time of year (moving into the UK spring) with just an undershirt/tee. I was wearing it with an overshirt in recent (colder) months, or with a jacket/vest when outdoors.

                                      I’ll dump a bunch more photos, but safe to say this CPO is an exceptional piece - but then you always knew it would be…
