IHSH-293-OD - 18oz Vintage Selvedge Denim CPO Shirt - Indigo Overdyed Black
-
@natefreezy I find them to be pretty similar in body length. The thermal is a touch easier to fit under the sleeves though
-
@Kasi It’s my understanding the CPOs are already longer than the standard western shirts. I think going any longer on the CPO would look funny.
-
@natefreezy I personally find the Thermals a little easier to layer under a shirt, they just move better underneath a heavy shirt. And they breathe, which the 1501 barely does. Which doesn’t mean you can’t layer over 1501, it just gets hot and heavy
under a jacket I prefer the 1501 though because it feels more substantial, sweater like if that makes sense.
And +1 that thermals are also easier to fit under sleeves. Plus you can downsize them more easily to get a shorter sleeve length because the fabric stretches in the body. 1501 won’t do that…

@vorons2001 Hi Alexander, sorry to hear this. I will send you a reply to your email message shortly. We should be able to fix this for you and apologies for any inconveniences.
-
@weftyarn Yeah sounds good, thanks. I have layered my 1501 with the 293-OD and you’re right it’s a pretty substantial combo. Having a thermal for variety would be good too!

I snagged one of thee last week from BlackBlue in St. Paul MN! Freaking love it. It's basically a light jean jacket.
SKOL!

Just picked up the last XL I could find last week from a shop called Rugged Gentleman out of Singapore. The CPO is sick and fits perfect! Also, the team at Rugged Gentleman were great and got it shipped out so fast. I’m very stoked on this purchase!
-
@punchx Dude I also got mine from them when I went to Minnesota to see the Vikings vs Commanders game. I posted on this thread about it not long ago (first week of December.)
SKOL Brotha!

Looking great! I really need to put more wear into mine. Love the 293, but can’t stay out of my flannels and hoodies in this bone chilling weather we’ve been having.
-
@weftyarn you washed it on day 50 brotha?
-
Day 42, 0 soak 0 wash

Anyone else found forearms and elbows tighter than normal? Those that have been wearing a lot do they soften up? Keeping mine for spring as an over shirt so still tight
-
@Gavin666 honestly bro I don’t see much of a change in softness because the shirt already comes hella soft. You can take that with a grain of salt cause right before this I was wearing a lefty for a few months lol.
As far as tightness, the forearm / elbow area is not as spacious as my XL 33-IND (this CPO is also an XL,) but I wouldn’t say it “runs tight,” - I can see this being an issue if you have bigger arms though. Mine are pretty average currently since I have been slacking in the gym.
The real sizing problem I’ve noticed are the pits. The pits run pretty tight on these which is annoying. Thankfully I bought mine in person and tried on multiple XL’s and picked the one that I felt the most comfortable in. The 2XL was more comfortable but I didn’t appreciate the longer body + sleeves so I basically committed to just wearing this CPO with a tee under.
For what it’s worth tho, I can still fit my 33-IND under it, I just chose not to do it bc it wouldn’t do the combs justice on any of the shirts.

@Gavin666 the 293 definitely has tighter forearms than other IH shirts I have. Doesn't loosen up.
