IHSH-292-IND - 18oz Vintage Selvedge Denim CPO Shirt - Indigo
-
Been lurking this forum the last couple of months and I have to say that it is quite helpful. These shirts are expensive and for a first time IH buyer it can be quite a step. The evo pictures from users are especially useful because it provided me with a much better understanding of how this shirt will look after breaking in.
Anyways, I really wanted one but they were out of stock for a long time. So my first purchase was a IHSH-33-od a couple of weeks back. Love that shirt and was kinda expecting this shirt not to be restocked for an other couple of months. But he, surprise… it was restocked and I immediately got me one. Came in yesterday and man this shirt is something else....
It's hard to explain how special heavyweight denim actually is to someone who's never worn one but I'm hooked. Looking forward to breaking this thing. Thanks to all previous posters here for providing so much helpful information on this shirt and IH in general. Wouldn't have dared to without you.
Next up will be some loopwheel t-shirts and a pair of heavyweight 555s

Can’t say enough about how much I dig this CPO—coupled up with a 1600 I couldn’t be more comfy .
-
Great match up @dinobarnesberlin 292 is amazing trying to wear mine every day look incredible with some wear
-
@Jcaz6996 Thanks man–yea daily is the key..and hold out as long as you can on washing it.
The 18oz vintage just has a nice look to it after some wear and tear...but then again,,,what Iron Heart denim doesn't right? -
@dinobarnesberlin yes definitely think it’s a slower fader then my 293 it’s only just starting to take shape got some lighter shades of indigo popping though on high wear areas but you can see the whole shirt has taken on a lighter shade I’ve been wearing it under a jacket in work it’s hardly seen day light as the weather is crap .
-
Same here ..wear mine with a tee layered under my 526PJ all winter so far.
Getting nice results on both pieces.
You are right about it being a slower fader, but when it does start to pop off with the fades..its got its own distinct hue-shade.@Kasi – you pimp dog you !! I enjoy watching you pimp yours a lot.
Maybe one day I will come up with a good idea. -
-
Yea Kasi–- have to copy your ideas for sure

Rocking my 292 today! Love this shirt!!
Jackpot. What size you get in this @Memphisakers so I know to go one size up?!
-
@Dans That is a Medium. For reference it is my only medium shirt that I can still wear and after a warm hand wash that is over a T shirt only.

Just got mine, great fit. It's exactly what the website says, the measurements are a hair bigger than the 293-OD, both size large. Both fit great. I go for vintage fades, though, so I'm gonna throw it in a hot soak to start it out (and reset the messed up collar from shipping) so maybe it'll come back down to the OD's measurements, and I'll see what kind of shrinkage it gets. Either way, I promise I'm going to stop now, with the 33, 292 and 293 all finally locked into my collection.
Hey Rydor was how much shrinkage did you get out of your hot soak?

Little late to the party but snagged a large. I wear a medium in everything but sized up for a layering piece. Sleeves are long but with a cuff it works. Definitely a beast of a CPO -
Also like to add the the 18oz vintage denim is my favorite I’ve had yet from IH, some beautiful stuff
-
Sweet shirt, but there is something very pleasing to the eye about that doorframe. Would be a great door to walk into your living room every day to relax.

Awesome thread! And my favorite shirt. I use it constantly now. Did a ‘Carharrt Detroit jacket’
Trick with the long sleeves, and got a shoemaker to hammer inn new cuffs, so they’re tight and perfect. I have an XL, shoulders are 50cm and the buttons are beasts. Best shirt ever!
