SEXIH25-CPO - Self Edge x Iron Heart 19oz Denim CPO Shirt
-
I am enjoying this great piece. @Oaktavia 's description of this fabric as a ball point pen fill-in is perfect.
-
@yuffington wear them together! You’re probably one of the few people that actually can. It’s a flex for sure!!!

@Denimminer well that looks glorious!
-
@Punatnik oh hell yeah. I'm saving my shirt till the fall but this gives me something to look forward to!
-
@Denimminer I had come to terms with sitting this one out until seeing this
-
That looks great. Love the cuff width on this shirt. My OD is in storage but I'm looking forward to fall.

Finally got my hands on my Indigo. Here it is in Lake Tahoe. Beautiful denim, great heft and a soft crunch kind of feel. When home I’ll post a 292 vs this guy, I read a comment earlier looking for a direct fabric comparison.

SEXIH25 Indigo vs IHSH-292 CPOs
For most pictures, SEXIH25 on the left, 292 on the right. Except for the Frankenstein shirt below.
The SEXIH25 is probably a more visually interesting denim, with some of that kasuri look with more specs of ecru from the weft popping through. It’s more of a deeper, darker indigo than the vintage 18oz. Slubbier as well for sure.
The 1oz difference is surprisingly noticeable. The 19oz is definitely hefty.
I do love the vintage 18oz denim though. Hairier, lighter shade of indigo, and soft once broken in (as I’m sure SEXIH25 will be too, though pretty soft off the get go).
Here the 292 is on the left. My 292 is about a year old and I’ve put some decent wear on it, but no washes and it’s not particularly far along its fading journey.
Fit pics, because why not. I love the fit of my 292, ever so slightly roomy as intended and very comfortable. The SEXIH25 is a tiny but more snug all around, but hoping as it breaks in it loosens just a little. Both XL and measure similarly. SEXIH25 is about .25” tighter in all ways.
Excuse the face, I’m actually happy today

Finally got a chance to try on the OD CPO after being out of the country for a while and I love it! I was a bit worried about the sizing being tight but ultimately I ordered my normal for IH XL size and it fits great. For what it’s worth I measured the shirt and got 19.1 for the shoulder, 45.0 for the chest, 29.4 for the length, and 26.4 for the sleeves. Excited to start breaking this bad boy in!
