Yeah, if anyone’s on the fence about this one, I’d highly recommend it.

Not sure I can personally wear it in the scorching Georgia sun mid day, but it’ll definitely be a go to in the evenings, cooler stretches, or rainy summer days.

I think this fabric is going to fade really well. Even just trying it on, you can see some early creasing in the arms. Nice and crisp but still comfortable.

@northsouthdenimguy I'm going to try to wear it in the heat this summer. After wearing the 21oz CPO last summer, any shirt should be easier. Especially one like this. I think it will take well to wearing and washing frequently. A nice, faded and well worn chambray is just awesome.

[TeflonDon]

I certainly have great expectations. My first IH shirt was a chambray, and that is extraordinarily comfortable.

I generally find that the lighter IH shirts are underrated. I get that the feeling is less special compared to “ordinary” shirts, but the quality is on the same extraordinary level.

Ahhhhh, F***. I was pulled into a work meeting just before launch time and missed my size.

@EdH Rivet & Hide have it in stock. Just saying

@Oaktavia

21oz shirt in the summer…you’re a mad man

[Oaktavia]

@northsouthdenimguy yes indeed

@EdH Iron Shop Provision still has all sizes except small 🫡

Snagged an XXL, usually wear an XL in shirts but the measurements seem right. I feel like this is going to be like my IH-13 for the warmer months, super easy to wear albeit a little plain jane. Definitely going to post about this on my channel.

First wear of the 443

[jordanscollected]

@cooldude_abe did you wash or soak? It has that telltale linen wrinkle

[cooldude_abe]

@jordanscollected No soak or wash—factory fresh. No wrinkles initially, but after a full day of wear I started seeing some creasing at the elbows. Nice texture to the fabric.

Just got it in, a minute before I had to head out. Perfect shirt for today’s warmer weather

[will6er]

The fabric is weird. "Very flecky".

Bad news on my side though - I didn't get a sticker in the package. Gutted.

[northsouthdenimguy]

First wear and I promise the chest isn’t actually this tight. I just do this weird thing where the material bunches up in my armpit when I take pictures. I’m not a model, nor do I claim to know how to be one

[Oaktavia]

Holy FECK this shirt is creasing like PAPER! But boy is it strong! Look at this fecking thing!

I have dampened the sleeves as you can see in the photos to encourage the creases. I can see the crest of the folds caused by packing it have faded already a tad. Similar to the 21oz sashiko but less noticeable. This is a good thing! It means mad fades ahead AHOY!

@Oaktavia looks great and bet it’s a wild difference to wearing the 189…enjoy it Stevie!

[Oaktavia]

@SKT oh for sure!!! Thanks, I will still be wearing the 21oz CPO till June, just to round a year, then its all in on this one.

@Oaktavia

Damn that looks killer. I don’t think mine is gonna quite do that sitting at a bar.

@northsouthdenimguy you gotta rotate your arm to mouth hand
