IHSH-409-IB - 19oz Selvedge Denim CPO Shirt - Indigo/Black
-
Sorry for the dirty mirror and messy background. My large just came today; sleeves are long as usual. I wore it with a gym tee only in the pic.
How is the fit? I am 5'8 and 165 have short arms; chest is a little snug but no biggie. It is hot as hell in LA, and I can only put it on for a few mins. Should I go for a medium or keep it, then hot soak? I felt the shoulder is a bit wide and the sleeves are long. -
@shumu111 Keep it dude. Looks good.
-
@WithBongInHand I most likely will, there is no way I can have a medium anyway. I will do a 1-hour soak hopefully it can shrink the sleeves and length a bit.
-
Got mine today, and it's beautiful.
I am feeling the sleeve from the cuff to the elbow feels more snug than any other CPO I have. Everything else is perfect.
-
100° outside but the shirt ain’t coming off. So stoked.
-
@shumu111 looks great!
-
I am glad I didn't pass on this one. Not sure if it is just the rigidness of this one but it feels like a better fit compared to my 293. I did not measure it but maybe I just got lucky with the sizing.
Had to sell my 3xl sexihcpo due to it being a little too tight. 4xl in this is perfect. The denim is different but in a good way + I think I prefer this one. Way better in person as well. -
@Tago-Mago
looks great
how do you like it ? -
@Tago-Mago fits well; do you think it will be snug after soaking?
-
I ordered one from pinkomo yesterday as soon as the went up - was over the moon as I missed them everywhere else - paid in full, but they’ve just emailed me to say my order has been cancelled for some reason

Ok, so I copped the well-sought-after Iron Heart IHSH-409-IB in a size Medium.
I have around 15 IH shirts — all Westerns/CPOs and all size Medium.
Funny (perhaps dumb) question: will the pit-to-pit stretch at all if I soak it and put it under some pressure?
Most measurements line up with my other shirts, but this one is noticeably tighter across the pits. It cuts into my armpit/pec a little and creates a slight balloon effect above the chest pockets.
Any chance of gaining a little width there, or am I dreaming? Will it loosen up…? Will it shrink? I know it says no, but my experience is they all shrink a tad.
-
@Adero I don’t think it will stretch much but material will soften.
For reference my XL arm hole measures 10”. My UHFs are 10.5” and other shirts range 10.5-11. So I think this one is a size smaller than most IH shirts. I’m gonna size up to XXL if I can find one. I know from experience I won’t wear something if it’s not comfortable right out of the box.
