IHSH-409-IB - 19oz Selvedge Denim CPO Shirt - Indigo/Black

[FlavourFade]

@jmp777 never touched the slubby cpo but the 409 is pretty rigid and has to be broken in, so should be two different animals

@FlavourFade My CPOOD was pretty rigid too. It literally squeeked every time I moved my arms for the first few days of wear

Will it be soft eventually?

QUESTION for folks who have this or other IH CPO: how much do you size up if you want to be able to wear like a flannel or thin hoodie under it? I'm clear on my ideal IH shirt measurements for wearing over a t-shirt. Do I add an inch, inch and a half to the chest, shoulders and opening? Also I've read the arms can be pretty tight on these western CPOs. Better to skip layering? I'd planned on giving myself some extra room on this one because my others are quite snug. Any input would be greatly appreciated!

@dwils All you can get is information on a run of that shirt that might possible fit differently than the upcoming batch. I'm not sure how useful that might be.

@RobeOfTheMagi thanks, I know the measurements for this run have not yet been shared. I’m just curious about how much people add in to allow for layering. Hoping that’ll help me pick the right size once measurements are shared. Psyched for this one

@dwils if you want to wear it as a jacket, measure your best fitting jacket and use those measurements. If a shirt, then the best shirt.

and to add, play around with your jacket and use different layering combos; flannel, hoodies, t-shirt, etc. and ask yourself how do you imagine wearing the CPO the most.

Find that combo and then use the jacket as your guide for measurements for picking the right CPO.

Yeah, my cpood was somewhat rigid, but I broke it in pretty quickly. I guess the tighter weave on the 409 and it not being overdyed will give it a much more rigid feel. Would you say this ever gets close to the 292 in terms of feel?

[dwils]

@goosehd thanks for the info. Helpful!

@jmp777 no it is much stiffer than the 292 especially at the beginning totally different in my opinion, it evolves much faster, I think this fabric is difficult to compare to others of the same weight or a similar weight
