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

[Mizmazzle]

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?

[talexander]

I wouldn't say it drapes heavier, but I feel the fabric isn't anywhere near as stiff as the 409, so it just hangs on the body better. I can actually hear the fabric of the 409 when I bend my arms. I don't own a lefty, but of all the IH gear I have, the 409 is the crunchiest for lack of a better description.

I knew I should have waited to get this one instead of the 292. You guys are killing my bank account.

[Larkens]

@Mizmazzle yeah it’s both softer and drapes better from the start compared to the 409 (even after a year). And indeed @talexander nowhere near as stiff as the 409 in the beginning

This is really helpful guys, thank you!

Anyone that’s got both, how stiff is this compared to the 14oz ib shirt?

[fuzzybunnies]

Been waiting on this one for a while and just now learning about the 409! Glad for my wallet they aren't releasing at the same time lol

@natefreezy got it. I think it also depends on where you live and how cold it gets. I’m in central coast of California and temps are moderate. I wear the 293 over a T and a long sleeve T at most. I know many like to wear it over a hoody or flannel but the shirt offers such a great silhouette with minimal underlayers.

@Gavin666 softer than the 14oz ib from the start IMO. The 14ozib is noticeably more rigid when you put it on to begin with but softens over time

[Brandrea]

I’m still trying to get my head around this one … I just love what I’m seeing in the pictures here.

Is this going to feel like I’m wearing a denim (jean jacket), or is it more like a heavy shirt with some “ridged” drape?

[AdamJ]

@Brandrea definitely the latter. The overdying softens it up. Feels like wearing a conventional denim shirt with a little more heft

[Brandrea]

@AdamJ Many thanks Adam, really appreciate it.

[Brandrea]

And maybe one more question from a relative newbie … can Goodart snaps be added?

[AdamJ]

@Brandrea Yep for sure!

Hi guys @ShopatIronHeart is the measurement chart on the product page the latest one?

[AdamJ]

@tvaillant75 not yet, it is being re-measured as we speak

@Brandrea It's so soft. Quickly. The chest pockets are stiff at first, but the entire garment seems, bizarrely, like a very heavy linen.
