SEXIH25-CPO - Self Edge x Iron Heart 19oz Denim CPO Shirt

@jmp777 I have the 293 and the newest version of the IH x SE in OD, both size large. The SE version is definitely smaller than the 293. The chest on my 293 measures 22.7 and my SE measures 21.75. Hope that helps.

Thanks! That definitely helps. Would you go XL if you ordered again?

@jmp777 as I mentioned above, I had to go an extra size up with the OD. I suppose it will all come down to if you wish to wear it just over a tee or as an additional layer over a sweater or UHF. My SEXIH25 will only fit over a long sleeve tee but I do have an IH-427 CPO that will fit over a UHF, so I have the best of both worlds. The difference though from the 19oz and 16oz materials is light and day. That extra 3oz feels so much heavier and robust. Now I’ve gotta save for the jeans

Definitely. I actually have the SEXIH-25 Type III OD. I love the fabric. That’s why I really want to grab one of these. I have a 293, but I’ll probably end up selling it if I grab one of these. I love the heavier robust fabric. -
@jmp777 oooh damn, this material in a type 3 with all of its layers and seams would make it feel near on like armour. Nice score
Had to search for the 293, seems like it would be very similar. -
@jmp777 I actually ordered both. I kept the large. The XL was too big for what I wanted, although it still fit. It was too wide in the body and sleeves were a bit long. I can still fit a hoodie under the L.

That’s really good to know. Do you mind if I ask you what your ht / wt is? I’m 6’1 180.

@jmp777 5’8, 160. I have an athletic type build w/40” chest.
Nice! Maybe an XL might be the choice for me. I’m a pretty slim type build, but my chest falls around 42.
-
@jmp777 I’m not sure how consistent the sizing is on these, but if the XL you get is similar to the one I had, that’s probably the call. You’re taller and bigger chest measurement, so it might be perfect.

Thanks for all the replies @samo! I'll post here once it arrives. I went XL. I was in a local shop the other day and tried on a western 9oz flannel (purple / white) and it was the best fitting western from IH I've tried on. I'm still not fully excepting the conversions from Japanese sizing to US on myself, but hopefully I ordered right on this
