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

[Josso]

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.

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

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.

@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

@jmp777 That looks darn near perfect to my eye!

Yes, Iron Heart Germany will also restock this shirt. It will go online at 5 p.m. German time.

@JamesB thanks for this! I wondered where the page went!

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

[jmp777]

@Brandrea Thanks!

Is anyone else going up a size in this? I'm usually between L and XL depending on measurements. Here the shoulders are wider than I need in XL but chest too narrow in the L. Leaning towards the XL...

Also one or two GAH snaps on the chest pockets?!

For what it is worth: I have over 20IH shirts now, and for me the 293 OD is the perfect blend of substantial and hefty, yet soft and comfortable at the same time!

Hey Shane,

I know from the Bremen meet-up that we are very similar in build. Do you wear a 40 or 42 in this shirt?
