@DeeDee85 said in SEXIH25-CPO - Self Edge x Iron Heart 19oz Denim CPO Shirt:
My OD version arrived this afternoon and… what a shirt. Agree with @Boit about the pre-faded look, almost looks like someone’s bedded it in for me for a couple of months before posting it.
-
+1 on the prefaded slubby look and feel. Definitely gonna be a harder break in compared to the 293 (think first couple of days in XHS). Fabric is SUBSTANTIAL, in a great, fall/winter temperatures way. Sizing up in both this and the T3 was the correct choice. Fabric comparison to the 293 and 21od pants.
-
@Fadez I tend to baby my IH stuff too much- delays their development of character. Have to follow your example.
-
Ahh I see it now. Those photos really show how differently saturated the 293 is in comparison. I wore mine to bed the last couple of nights. What I love is how substantial and heavy it is, yet super comfortable. I am so curious how this will fade. Time will tell but I have set my dial for January-ish.
Edit: FWIW I was referring to the non-OD 18oz in my ponderance yesterday. I thought about taking side by side shots of the differences but my view is skewed as my 292 has been washed a few times. A nice vintage blue color. It would be cool to take shots like @catdad1's but of new non-OD cpo and a new 292.

@Oaktavia agreed. I was planning on begrudgingly dodging the 292 release since I just snagged the IND CPO, but now you’re making me feel like I should grab one so I can take the side-by-side photos. I’ll think of it as “taking one for the team”.

@DeeDee85 Thanks! Yeah the previous OD method really appears to saturate the threads more. I'll try to do more close ups this weekend along the t3 as well.
Afterthought: maybe this fabric just doesn't absorb the overdye process as much as the 18 ounce vintage fabric? Could be the reason for the washed out look and not a testament to the new OD method. Who's to say.
-
@northsouthdenimguy Glad the sizing worked out! Looks epic. Thanks for letting me know.
-
Just to parrot everyone else in this thread... just, wow. Absolutely an incredible fabric. There are many companies that do heavyweight denim but IH stands out as the best, and this fabric is another example. If you're debating and it shows up in your size, I'd pick it up (especially the OD version).

@catdad1
Great comparison shots, thanks for sharing. Only other OD piece I have is my 19oz lefty OD, for sure way different than that. The lefty type 111 is a beast, but I love it. This new CPO is just so great, looks and feels amazing. I sized up one as well, was little worried to big. But wore it around my apartment for like hour and fitting perfectly. The temptation to start wearing it now is too much lol, idk if can hold off as original planned. “The wait is the hardest part” I think officially have to many IH CPOs, type 3s and westerns to break in few few years now, one hellva a drug

Just left Self Edge SF and they have an OD one that came back in XXXL. Too large for me. I’m usually an XXL. Agreed with what everyone else is saying, this OD material is incredible.

3X at SESF fam!!!!
Act accordingly.

@catdad1 Mine does not have an extra seam like the one in your photo. What size is yours? Mine is XXL...
-
@Oaktavia ah good point. I sized up to XXXL on this one. My 292, 385, and 422 are also XXXL and don't have the second side seam so it must be a larger size thing on these.
-
I only have one XXXL CPO and it's a 227. No extra side seam.
@sabergirl I thought that at first too but I think the second photo is a 293 to compare.
