@sabergirl said in IHSH-427-IND - 16oz Vintage Selvedge Denim CPO Shirt - Indigo:

CPO ain’t for tuckin’

As in “UnTucked”?

[sabergirl]

I mean, I wouldn’t do it. Dare I say it looks kinda silly tucked in? What with the blocked and bulky pockets, and all.

[flannel slut]

@sabergirl for clarity sake, completely agreed BUT there is always that someone who does something w a garment that breaks all the norms and yet totally works

[sabergirl]

To each their own, man!

[flannel slut]

For sure! and for more clarity sake, ain’t no way you’ll achieve the same type of drape as RL with this garment unless you break it in for 10+ years

[sabergirl]

Yep. I expect the combined weight of all of the layers he’s wearing isn’t much over 16oz.

@TuckedInShirt I’m like you and also tuck in almost everything and I do have a few CPOs that I bought to size as shirts versus overshirts to tuck and I find it works with some better than others depending upon how thick the inner pocket material is - the thicker the pocket material, the more the pocket area bulges out at the waist when tucked. Also the length of the CPOs typically run about an inch longer than a shirt, so there’s more to tuck in. I personally only go this route when there’s not something similar that I could purchase as a shirt like the 17oz duck.

Hi brother, what was your recipe to wash this masterpiece ?

[Gavin666]

Can remember last time I tucked anything in save shirt for work

[Jcaz6996]

@hugothecowboy Hi bud, usual routine
Turn inside out, Soaked in the bath for 30mins , removed from the bath still dripping wet and put into the washing machine.
Ariel washing liquid , 30c with the spin cycle off .
Remove turn back the correct way , hang on the washing line to dry

@Jcaz6996

Thank you for the info my friend, im new to this whole denim world, when you pre soak is it with hot water or cold water?

Thank you for the tips dude !

[Jcaz6996]

@hugothecowboy no problem mate , I use warm water in the bath

[hugothecowboy]

@Jcaz6996

Thank you so much for the info dude

Another week in the books wearing this amazing shirt it’s definitely been Hot & sweaty week building Timber frame houses.

Already in Need of another wash dusty and salty sweat patch on the back.

The fades are creeping in slowly more so on the cuffs then the honeycombs think I have to work harder to break this one

[Oaktavia]

@Jcaz6996 wow that is amazing it is clear how hard you have been cracking on with this shirt. Must be a stubborn mfer. Is the collar fading? Thats cool to take note of.

[Jcaz6996]

@Oaktavia Thinking it is a stubborn one lol. I’ve worn it another week and I’ve had to give it its second wash , surprising how much crap comes off it just soaking it in the bath before going into the washing machine.

Don’t think the collar is fading mate , maybe just the picture or dirt .

Fresh pictures incoming when it’s dry ..
