IHSH-409-IB - 19oz Selvedge Denim CPO Shirt - Indigo/Black
-
Received mine today. Really love this fabric and the toughness but for $419 dollars i would expect a better alignment of the pockets. I understand is people making these shirts but the space difference is just too much. This wont stop me from buying upcoming products so if anyone is looking for a size Large and doesn’t mind these differences there will one coming right back.

@hugothecowboy I bought a large and mine is like this too. I don't mind though. What I noticed after reading your post and looking at mine is that the shorter side is most likely the result of less fabric being used on that side of the shirt. If you measure from the side seam to the end of the placket and then do the same (at the same point in the shirt from the other side), the side with the pocket closer to the placket is shorter in length (in terms of the width). This is why there is a discrepancy in distance from the placket while the distance to the sleeve seem is about the same. So I think this might be a mistake on the pattern and how the fabric was cut. Not sure if all larges are like this since this is only a sample size of two.
I know this explanation probably doesn't matter to you and if you are unhappy then you should return it. I thought I would just share my observations in case anyone else was confused about what is going on or why this is happening.

Couldn’t this also just be normal production tolerance being exaggerated by the 19 oz denim rather than an actual pattern mistake? If the pocket-to-side-seam measurements are basically the same, maybe one front panel ended up slightly narrower, but with fabric this thick and stiff, couldn’t small differences in cutting, sewing, placket construction, or how the panels relax account for that too?
-
@hugothecowboy this doesn't bug me. I sort of want it actually. haha what are the measurements?
-
I was assuming he would be sending it back to IH first.
If you look at their product shot, it's the same sort of deal with the pockets. It doesn't bug me because they have the same distance from the side seams.
Whatever, I must remain strong and hold out for 21oz Untucked!

There is talk of different spacing to the placket on other CPO threads too (forget which one went into detail), but I think it was because of what @Chibs said...same distance to side seam

@Pointman I had the same thought! I’ve got one with pearl snaps incoming tomorrow. I’ll post some photos once I receive it.

I ordered mine today and tempted to tell them to hold off on mailing it until we see your magic.

First time putting it on n it’s a little tight in the chest compared to my 292 but not to the point where it would bother me. Could only wear a tee n maybe a long sleeve. But love the color!
