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

[catdad1]

@americanathreads the 293 has a deeper black to it even after several washes compared to an almost pre washed look on the self edge cpo. The SE fabric has that really cool slub texture to it, however the vintage 18oz fabric is really nostalgic for me of a jacket my dad wore in the 90s. The W on the collab shirt is a cool feature. It's hard to beat the deep black of the 293, however that is down to personal preference. Lastly, I noticed that the oxidation on buttons that get used the most on the 293 have almost completely rubbed off. Not an issue for me at all, but something others may want to know.

Sorry if this makes it more confusing. I guess it comes down to what you're looking for the most out of the shirt.

@catdad1 Man that’s a terrific comparison! They both look great but I think prefer the color of the 293 IH.

@natefreezy def go by the measurements.

but for myself, the only i other top i own is the discontinued IHSH 75 denim work shirt in XL which fits like a glove. I took a chance on XXL for the 293 because many have said to size up for the OD. glad i did because it also fits like a custom made shirt.

if you order from IH direct you can request for a bigger P2P or shoulder or longer sleeve or whatever and they'll do their best to accommodate.

[catdad1]

@Brandrea I do as well. I may have to pick up a size up for some overshirt action this year!

[natefreezy]

@dugafola Yeah sorry my question wasn’t about measurements per se but more how people use their CPOs. Like a regular shirt or more like an overshirt to wear over another long sleeve layer?

[Ikeaparty]

@natefreezy I have just been wearing them over a t shirt, I get way too warm to later it, I wear cpo like a shirt with pockets haha. I wouldn't later over a cpo like I would with say a UHF though as they are a bit longer

[Mizmazzle]

@natefreezy I mostly wear mine over a t shirt. But I like to have enough room to wear a thermal too. The nice thing about the CPO cut is generally, if you take your normal tag size, they are cut slightly bigger to accommodate the over shirt style.

[pechelman]

to add another data point

~90% of the time it's over just a t-shirt. I'm about 50/50 on buttoned vs open.
The remaining 10% i wear it over a waffle knit thermal where the same 50/50 applies of unbuttoned vs open.

[Chibs]

@pechelman sorry, couldn’t resist

[natefreezy]

Sounds good! Yeah was also thinking I’d mostly wear over t-shirt but being able to wear over long sleeve t is good. To be fair, I also mostly prefer to wear my denim jackets over a t shirt.

[Gavin666]

@natefreezy that’s my though too. Really want this but thinking when will I wear it

[americanathreads]

@Chibs @catdad1 thanks both for the insights - very helpful. Once the sizing chart gets released I’ll take a close look at this one.

Up on Self Edge. I didn't say any last evening but they're still up. So not an accident/mistake

[guiltyparty]

For all of those preparing for these, we are getting a restock as well.

@CosmoSix5 I purchased my first piece of iron heart from self edge, it’s the 33T, absolutely love it, fits me very well. On the few pieces I have looked at their length seems to be 1.5-2 inches less than most stockists on average I have found. I think their lack of free shipping >$500 will also be a sticking point for me going forward living in Australia.

[CosmoSix5]

@landownunder if I appeared to be advocating for them I'm apologize. I only shop there when absolutely necessary. I agree with their sizing being "off". You'll notice I didn't tell people to go there and check the measurements table

Can anyone with a broken in 409 compare that denim to the 293? I’m mostly curious about the drape and softness…not the way the two fade.

[talexander]

In my opinion the 293 is wayyyy softer. I love both and have worn both extensively, but in my opinion they're almost complete opposites in terms of softness and drape.

[Mizmazzle]

@talexander thanks dude. I appreciate that. So the 293 drapes heavy and easy compared to the 409?
