IHSH-409-IB - 19oz Selvedge Denim CPO Shirt - Indigo/Black

[pechelman]

The 409 feels much more hard faced and tough as nails feeling. In the same size it fits me much more trim and tailored. The blue is more unique on it I think, oaktavia has waxed poetic about it here iirc.

The trico has a softer hand feel, almost like a thick felt. It drapes and moves more easily and the cut is a bit longer and more relaxed. I think the 409 as a garment probably weighs more but the fabric on this feels like it's heavier in some respects.

They're both pretty amazing shirts, just depends what you want. I probably wear the trico just a bit more mostly because it's a bit more unique in my closet with its styling, I.e it's not a Western shirt

@noescapin I have both.

The Tricotine is super soft and cozy. The fabric is pliable and very easy to wear. It fades fairly quickly. It doesn’t have pockets (as you know, but I sometimes wish it did…)

The 409 is heavy denim. So it’s a lot more stiff at the beginning. But as denim does, it molds and softens into a thick and heavy drape. I love how the heft hangs on me. Almost like those old school lead bibs at the dentist’s office. It fades fast and more high contrast than the Tricotine (though the trico does have its own unique sort of contrast). Being a CPO, the pocket fix is a nice feature.

I love having both. I wore my Tricotine more last season cause it was new. But at my core I love denim. So that heavy stiff denim is so rad for a CPO. But the Tricotine is very nice as well. Easy wearing comfort, and the UES indigo is beautiful. I’m personally a purest when it comes to denim. I love straight indigo or black. The 409 IB is also lovely, but I love and prefer pure indigo. So the 21oz untucked is going to be my dream CPO…because I also prefer work shirt cuts. Another benefit of the Tricotine in my opinion.

One other thing of note:
Being a western and having thick denim, the sleeves are tighter around the elbows and forearms on the 409 than the Tricotine. Not an issue for my spaghetti arms, though.

Didn’t see the 409 on the release calender. No july release?

[Tago Mago]

@ant1121 current ETA as per the website is still July. If it changes it will be updated on the product page.

[Ross]

@ant1121 The ETAs have just been updated - These should be with us very soon just obviously not quite in time for a July release date

Patience is a virtue... I appreciate the updates and even letting us know the month (estimate) on which items will drop... Far and beyond what other companies do.

[fatmike71]

What’s that mean?

[Larkens]

@fatmike71 a klaxon is usually a warning

[dirtyframer]

@fatmike71 hoping its @AdamJ sounding the horn that they have arrived

[Ross]

@dirtyframer Perhaps not 'arrived'..but in transit..maybe

[dirtyframer]

@Ross close enough!!!!

[Kasi]

It’s means they are here for Monday or already here.

[ozai]

Man, business trip next week, just hoping that I can sneak away at the right time if they're released then

[fatmike71]

I watch the calendar like a hawk. From what I can tell it would be first week of August if they land next week.
