IHSH-293-OD - 18oz Vintage Selvedge Denim CPO Shirt - Indigo Overdyed Black

Looks so good! This is the phase I see it most similar to the SEXIHPOOD, but texturally more of a matte finish.
-
Taking the OD 633 18 oz vintage to the balkans for the next couple weeks. They don’t have their own thread so sharing here since the fabric is the same. Had these a couple years, unsure on # wears, maybe 50-75. Subtle slubs showing through.

@Jcaz6996 I know this is an old post, but how long have you had/worn this shirt in these pics and approx washes?
-

Thinking I might give it the first wash this weekend. Had it for about 6 months as go to over shirt. Far from daily and all day wear
-
I stumbled on this thread while doing research on the 33OD … now I’m leaning toward this as it’s more of an over shirt which is sort of what I’m looking for.
I noticed in the 33 thread that the overdye process has changed from sulpher to reactive. Can someone in the know comment: is IH changing its overdye process to reactive for all its shirts going forward?
If this should be posted elsewhere, my apologies.
-
I may be wrong, but in some of the OD products recently released it says black direct dye i/o the previous sulphur dye. I assume the direct dye is still different than the reactive dye used in for example the Superblack non fade denim in a way that direct dyed denim will still fade.

@Twistlock thank you for this. I guess from what I’m reading the OD dye method comes down to a more environmentally friendly process.
That said, I wonder how the newer direct dye method compares to the sulpher dye in terms of fades. The older shirts I see here (sulpher dyed) look absolutely amazing.
I understand the hardware doesn’t tarnish with the newer method, but will the fades be the same or are they too new to tell?

I have 293 from the older batch, sulphur dyed etc., and 888s-21od from the new batch this year. From what I can tell, wearing them both, there is not really a difference. In my opinion, of course.

@Brandrea it is a hell of a shirt. I sized my first attempt at a 293 wrong and had to have a refund as it was sold out in the size up. I’d love to have another go when this re-stocks but I’m not sure how to explain to my wife that I need the 293 as well as the recent Self Edge OD CPO
The OD pieces in general are a little harder to achieve contrast fades with but who cares when they all look so beautiful straight out of the gate anyway. Incredible on day 1 and only going to get better with every days wear.
The 3 OD pieces I own are in my top 5 IH purchases to date. -
@DeeDee85 Thats great to hear and I’m a patient fellow so I’ll enjoy the wait till restock and live vicariously through you all.
I’d really like a CPO but if I get too itchy I may consider the 33OD …

33 is going to be a lot lighter and could be worn all year depending on where you live. I think that’s the main difference. If you think you might get both then you might as well get the 33 now and maybe the 293 down the line.
