IHSH-293-OD - 18oz Vintage Selvedge Denim CPO Shirt - Indigo Overdyed Black
-
WOW...I know I say this after every new IH shirt arrives, but this just might be my favorite of the bunch. I almost dropped the package when the UPS driver handed it to me because I just wasn't expecting the HEFT. The most surprising thing I discovered was how incredibly soft the shirt is given its overall weight. The details are perfect and the fit is 100% spot on. I will follow up with some pictures tomorrow when the sun is out. Also...I need to go scrub my hands...after wearing for 15 minutes it looks like I dipped my hands in a blueberry pie! LOVE this shirt!!!

@pechelman the previous version was a little bigger in the body, such as chest and waist. Graham is off this week on vacation so I'll have him confirm next week when he's back.
The waist/opening runs pretty much straight down so the difference is minimal :OK_hand:
@AdamJ, looking forward to your followup on this. I have the prior (last year) version in a large, and I'm considering getting an XL for layering here in Colorado. If the body measurements are a bit slimmer on this re-stock, that would be great to know. Thanks in advance!

Just got mine in and I 100% agree on how soft it is.

LOVE this one...it is a great wind-stopper!

Looks great, @SaddleSC. Now there's at least two of these in Colorado!

Hi all,
I am planning to buy this beautiful shirt on payday (end of the month)
I am 185 cm, 83 kg and I have two IH shirts - both L size.
What would you recommend- which size should I go with this one? I read different opinions here and of course it is a matter of personal preference but still…I am not planning to do layering - I will probably put just a simple cotton T-shirt under this beauty…Insta: cskarev

Please send an email to shop@ironheart.co.uk to discuss sizing.

I read different opinions here and of course it is a matter of personal preference but still…I am not planning to do layering - I will probably put just a simple cotton T-shirt under this beauty…I am 177cm tall and weigh 76kg. I typically buy a Large in most IH shirts. I stuck with that for this one. However, the OD version is smaller than the non-OD version and I also think this one uses a slightly trimmer pattern than past releases. I only wear a T-Shirt underneath and it JUST fits.
The area where you may run into trouble (because you are taller and slightly heavier than I am) is the elbows and overall length. For some reason, the elbows and forearms on this IHSH-293 are pretty darn snug. If you have any mass whatsoever in your arms I would size up to XL. Also, the length is perfect for me, but I wouldn't want it any shorter. Because you are taller is another reason to potentially size up.
I LOVE this shirt, but it definitely runs on the trim side. To see some great fit pics, check out the Withered Fig web site. The model there is 6'1" and 178 pounds. That will give you a good idea of fit...hope that helps!

@SaddleSC looks good on you!
Thank you, my friend! I really love the fit on this one, quite trim, but just right:)
-
Thank you very much for the detailed info. I will probably also contact the crew to check all measures but so far it seems that XL might be the better option for me
-
I'm your height but 15kg lighter and my L is a reasonably trim fit in chest and shoulders. I'd say XL is the safer bet.
-
I went against the advice of sizing up or taking my "normal" uhf size and went down to a large instead of my usual XL. My intent is to wear this only over a tee and currently this is on top of an 11oz long sleeve IH shirt, so the heaviest I'd ever go. Thoughts on the fit? It feels mostly good. At most I could have asked for was another quarter inch here and there and an XL might be too generous for how this will be used.
-
@pechelman i agree with your take on the fit. I’m L in everything. I plan to wear mine as a shirt over a T-shirt. Or as it softens more (it is soft already) no T. The arms are very slim compared to every other IH large sized shirt I own, which surprised me… but otherwise, it is an amazing shirt! So soft and smooth. An XL would’ve been a perfect layering shirt, and no doubt given my arms more room, but not what I was looking for. FWIW, I’m 5’7”, 170. Bigger shoulders and chest from exercise.
-
Thanks, @Autorotate . I agree on the softness too. The comments above about heavy linen also match my experience. Really like the slim sleeves on this one, that was one thing that caught my eye on the chart compared to some other CPOs which seem to be cut more for layering. If anything, this one has me doubting I should have sized down to large in the new cpo moleskin. We're about the same, 5'9 and 175.
-
That fit is excellent @pechelman. You’d be swimming in a size up, especially in shoulder width. It’s a keeper and it keeps getting better and better.

@pechelman I'm 5'10", 170-ish pounds, and I'm wearing a large. The forearms and cuffs are indeed trim fitting, but I like the fitted look. I think the fit looks good on you.
I don't plan on wearing anything more than a T shirt under mine. I'm in Colorado, so I wear it like a heavy shirt. The pockets pretty much disappear on this piece.
-
@pechelman Love the fit, and the lighting in that second photo really brings out the unique qualities of the OD.
