IHSH-292-IND - 18oz Vintage Selvedge Denim CPO Shirt - Indigo
-
My name is Jeff, This is the first time on the Iron Heart forum. I am debating between getting the 292 shirt or get the 13oz CPO Broken twill version that Self edge sells because I have a credit. I guess the two questions I’m trying to answer for myself are is 18oz too heavy for me and if I do get the 292 what size. I am 5’9” 145 pounds. I have a western shirt ( Imogene and Willie) that has a 41 chest and 19 shoulder and this is form fitting but fits well. In a 292 I was thinking a medium would split the difference between the shoulder and the chest. When emailing Iron Heart they suggested a large. I’m guessing the chest on the large would be big on me. Any thoughts on 292 sizing? I’m aware the 292 is currently out of stock. Doing my homework.

@jeffv0708 The first step in your process should be to read this page: https://ironheart.co.uk/pages/how-we-measure-shirts
Then you should measure your western shirt from Imogene and Willie exactly as shown on that page. After you have your measurements, compare them to the chart in the first post of this thread found here: https://forum.ironheart.co.uk//post/10467
It will give you a good idea of what size will work best for you.

@Tago-Mago it won't be this year, not in production again yet
@jeffv0708 Here is the latest restock information concerning this shirt.
Given that information, you will either need to wait until it’s back into production, look for a stockist that may have one in stock, or look on the secondary market. If you want to place an ad looking for a shirt, please do so in the WTB (Want to Buy) section of the marketplace.
That area can be found here: https://forum.ironheart.co.uk/category/28/want-to-buy

Was recently in Hawaii, went to try to see the sunset on Mauna Kea but only made it to visitor center unfortunately, cloudy but still pretty. My son liked it too!

I found this shirt online and bought it. It's only been worn a few times and has only been soaked once, never washed. Fit is perfect, except the sleeves feel a little tight when bending the arm. Will this get better with use? I have it in size Large. I also have an IHSH-33-IND size XL, and that one feels much better in the sleeves.
For IH sizing charts in general size Large seems OK for me for jackets and CPO, whereas XL generally seems OK for normal shirts. Is that possible, or should I look for a CPO size XL as well?
Hoping its just because the material is a bit stiff in the sleeves when it hasn't been worn and it will get better with time!

@Accuria2 The cut is very different and yes the forearms on the 292 and 293 are on the tight side.
Can you bend your arms completely? If not and it bothers you, go a size up or check out other shirts. I wouldn’t trust it stretching in that area.
If anything, the fabric becomes softer. -
@weftyarn Yeah I can bend them, but it feels tight when I do it. Bothers me currently, but was hoping it could get better with wear
