IHSH-293-OD - 18oz Vintage Selvedge Denim CPO Shirt - Indigo Overdyed Black

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

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!

@weftyarn

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?

[weftyarn]

The wash was probably at wear day 30-40.
I dont really care with shirts to be honest.
With jeans I’m a bit more patient..

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

[worn2fade]

@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.
