I wanted something to replace my 178 with a little bit shorter sleeves…

Damn, I am weak. The 292-IND is currently my favourite shirt, and I really wanted the OD for my collection, even though I honestly don’t need another shirt right now. But I figured the OD would go perfectly with my 101J Storm Rider … My resolution to not buy another shirt this year lasted exactly one night ^^

[Larkens]

@UnripeTitanium haha, one night! And look at it this way: it would go perfectly with your 101J, and you are gonna love the OD!

For anyone who also owns the IHSH-178 - 18oz, is there enough of a difference between the 2 to warrant getting this? I love the idea of some blue poking through, but just struggling to justify 2 shirts that initially look so similar.

[AdamJ]

@Kingmob31 I think so, I would say the 178 is a bit tougher from the start, mine is still quite rigid after all these years. The 293-OD has a nicer hand feel IMO. Definitely need to find out in the name of research

[popvulture]

I have a 178 and agree it’s pretty tough fabric — mine’s still pretty stiff like Adam’s, but it’s nothing approaching the rigidity of the 16oz non-selvedge black CPO. I’ve never owned the 293 OD, but I did have the regular indigo version for a little bit and thought it was comparatively comfier from the get-go.

@Kingmob31 if you already have a 178, could always hold out for the next time the regular 293 comes back.

I am seeing from some retailers that this run has came out smaller than past iterations. I sticked to my usual given the measurements, hope it will turn out well but curious to hear from other people once they receive theirs.

[Denimminer]

@tvaillant75 I actually just saw shopvancouver mention it on the gram. So I emailed and asked about the next size up measurements just in case I wanted to order another . I'm normally large, but the large self edge version was slightly too small. I ordered a large in this with measurements almost to what my non overdyed counterpart is, ....but I'm worried nonetheless.

[VegaS10]

@Denimminer, in my experience, OD products (shirts, jackets, pants) always run a little bit smaller than their non-OD counterparts. Not much, but there is a difference.

Measure twice, buy once.

[tvaillant75]

@Denimminer yeah saw the same thing but XL (sized for him) ran large on TJ IMHO. Measurements wise should work out we'll see

[Crispy Heron]

Just got mine from R & H. No chain stitch run-off? Can’t say I care too much…

[Kingmob31]

@AdamJ ahh you're killing me. I'm going to scroll through all the fade shots to persuade me.

[c57jn4t]

Just got mine. XL, my usual shirt size, fits fine imo, even under a thick IH hoodie.
I’m 6’1”, 180 lbs.
No run-off, but doesn’t bother me.

[RobeOfTheMagi]

Can you still wear it only with a shirt?

[c57jn4t]

@RobeOfTheMagi

Yes, I think both work. That’s with just a t-shirt.
Sleeves are maybe a little long without.

[Gavin666]

Mine just arrived. Love it. Unbelievably soft and the detail is awesome. More fitted than the standard denim but prefer that. Shorter too and the guys did wonders finding my a decent sleeve length. If I was being really picky it could be slightly looser under the arms and more width in pocket opening but a stunning piece. One of my favs.Been a good day today with the A2 arriving also - a last a warm coat!

No chain stitch run-off?

Chain-stitch run-off does not survive the OD process...

[Sir_Cuffs-a-Lot]

That’s what I thought - but the 293 I recently sold (from a previous batch) still had run-off.

Minor miracle?

[dugafola]

@Sir_Cuffs-a-Lot mine are in tact as well.
