SEXIH25-CPO - Self Edge x Iron Heart 19oz Denim CPO Shirt
-
I don't know what way to go size wise with the CPO. I've never tried one on. The only IH shirt I have is a 9oz raised whipcord western and all of the dimensions of it work well except the chest feels slightly tight. I'm assuming a CPO with similar dimensions would be way too snug since the fabric is also twice as heavy. The OD CPO in large seems like it would work but the standard indigo CPO in L would be a little too big. Will the standard indigo CPO shrink any in a hot wash?

I don't think this is a valid concern, no.
However, many people like to wear a CPO as an overshirt, so choose to go up a size to allow room for layering another shirt under one.

Yes, when we OD a product, we take the fully made indigo version then essentially hot wash it in black dye, so the OD measurments are the max shrinkage you can achieve with hot washes on the indigo version of the same jacket, as a rough rule.

We are getting to the point of where I can't add much more value I am afraid. We can really only talk to the veracity and the methodology of the Iron Heart measurements, I think any further questions of these collabs and their sizing would be better directed at Self Edge via email so that they can handle things on their end.

@Alex with the OD garments essentially being hot washed have you typically seen them stretch out a bit with wear. Or do they stay "shrunk" even with wear?

@Alex thanks for the lightning quick reply!

@Oaktavia SE measures the shoulder straight across whereas IHUK takes it from a shoulder seam to the center collar to the other shoulder seam. Measured my 293 last night to get better dialed in for this week!

@Alex, I was unaware it was hot washed.
That explains a lot about the very slight sizing differences in the OD/regular.
Well, so are most of our non overdyed jeans too, the difference being the intense agitation that is part of the overdyeing process. And it is primarily the agitation that causes the shrinkage.

@CosmoSix5 ya, that is exactly what everyone is talking about with the measurement variations, inconsistency and second guessing. Is it a typo? Who knows. lol

Soooo, how about the denim? From the photos it looks like 18oz vintage with more slub and even more cross hatching. Maybe a bit more weft showing on the face.
Looks like denim truly is the fabric of our salvation.

Any clarification on drop date? Tried to ask what "Friday night at midnight PST" meant and did not get any better answer.
Does this mean Thursday night after the clock rolls to midnight or Friday night?
-
@alanight 11:59pm pst on Thursday is one minute before launch. That's the standard at least. 2:59am EST.

I won't know until the moment which CPO I'll get. Probably skip the jacket unless I find out the IH Lefty is a long way off.
