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

[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

[Brandrea]

This is really helpful guys, thank you!

[Gavin666]

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

[JamesB]

Sizing chart can now be found in the first post.
Please be aware you may not be able to view the product’s website page leading up to launch, as it will be briefly offline whilst we prepare for the release at LIVE on Tuesday 4th November at 1600GMT

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

[Richard]

@Gavin666 It seems softer than my 14oz type 3 OD.....

What’s the chances there’s a 3XL with a 25”chest, am I wasting my time thinking about it? I’ll will also take a 49 15/16…

Hey guys,
I’m looking for some sizing advice on the IHSH-293-OD. I’m torn between XL and XXL.

Here are the measurements from my best fitting shirt, measured the Iron Heart way:

Shoulders: 49 cm

Length: 77 cm

Chest (P2P): 59 cm

Waist: 56.5 cm

Opening: 57 cm

Sleeve: 67.5 cm

Sleeve opening: 11.5 cm

I really like the way this one fits — not tight, just a comfortable regular fit.

Looking at the size chart for the IHSH-293-OD, it seems like I am in between sizes XL and XXL? I’d really appreciate your thoughts or experience with sizing on this particular model. This will be my first CPO, and I've never styled a garment like that before.

Thanks a lot in advance!
