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

[Richard]

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

@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!

I’m considering if I should go up to an XL in this. I picked up a lightly worn L back in April / May. I generally wear it with a t, but occasionally with a hoodie. Thoughts?

@Josso based on those numbers i think XXL would be best for me. I actually wear a XXL in the 293. like you, i'm kind of a tweener. i'm glad i opted for the XXL for a more comfortable fit but no less flattering. it's a trim garment. i could probably wear a thin hoodie under it if i had to.

i wear XL in the old IHSH75 which is the 12oz denim workshirt with buttons (since discontinued, now made with snaps). some of the lads here have sized up in the OD, others remain with their typical size.

@jmp777 i think it looks great as is!!!

Thanks! I love it. Slightly tighter than my 292, but I like things a little snug.

@jmp777

Perfect fit for a T. Just get the larger size for hoodies.

@Josso my experience with dealing on being in-between sizes is that it's always safe to size up one if you're not entirely 100% sure. This style fits a little more snug than my other CPO shirts.

[Josso]

@jfox1980 and @dugafola thanks a lot for the great input. I will try to grab an XXL size for this one.

Best to ask the retailer directly

[Brandrea]

@jmp777 That looks darn near perfect to my eye!

One of my favorite photos of Giuli, taken a few years ago at the port of Hamburg. He looks as if he's about to board a ship and sail across the vast ocean. Magnificent!

[Brandrea]

I can already tell … you didn’t make enough of these shirts

[Giles]

We never do We're just not very good at judging demand

@Brandrea Thanks!
