IHSH-409-IB - 19oz Selvedge Denim CPO Shirt - Indigo/Black
-
Sorry for the dirty mirror and messy background. My large just came today; sleeves are long as usual. I wore it with a gym tee only in the pic.
How is the fit? I am 5'8 and 165 have short arms; chest is a little snug but no biggie. It is hot as hell in LA, and I can only put it on for a few mins. Should I go for a medium or keep it, then hot soak? I felt the shoulder is a bit wide and the sleeves are long. -
@shumu111 Keep it dude. Looks good.
-
@WithBongInHand I most likely will, there is no way I can have a medium anyway. I will do a 1-hour soak hopefully it can shrink the sleeves and length a bit.
-
Got mine today, and it's beautiful.
I am feeling the sleeve from the cuff to the elbow feels more snug than any other CPO I have. Everything else is perfect.
-
100° outside but the shirt ain’t coming off. So stoked.
-
@shumu111 looks great!

I am glad I didn't pass on this one. Not sure if it is just the rigidness of this one but it feels like a better fit compared to my 293. I did not measure it but maybe I just got lucky with the sizing.
Had to sell my 3xl sexihcpo due to it being a little too tight. 4xl in this is perfect. The denim is different but in a good way + I think I prefer this one. Way better in person as well. -

Ok, so I copped the well-sought-after Iron Heart IHSH-409-IB in a size Medium.
I have around 15 IH shirts — all Westerns/CPOs and all size Medium.
Funny (perhaps dumb) question: will the pit-to-pit stretch at all if I soak it and put it under some pressure?
Most measurements line up with my other shirts, but this one is noticeably tighter across the pits. It cuts into my armpit/pec a little and creates a slight balloon effect above the chest pockets.
Any chance of gaining a little width there, or am I dreaming? Will it loosen up…? Will it shrink? I know it says no, but my experience is they all shrink a tad.

@Adero I don’t think it will stretch much but material will soften.
For reference my XL arm hole measures 10”. My UHFs are 10.5” and other shirts range 10.5-11. So I think this one is a size smaller than most IH shirts. I’m gonna size up to XXL if I can find one. I know from experience I won’t wear something if it’s not comfortable right out of the box.

@Daniel-San thanks. Really nice, this is a properly hefty shirt
-
@Adero Looks great! What is your height and weight? I'm 6' and a half inch 160lb. Got my usual medium and it fits fine. Other than it needing to be broken in, i think it will be just fine. I'll post some pics tonight. Was planning on last night but then dinner got in the way.

First proper pic. Accidentally all ib yesterday as I just put on the new shirt and went back to work. Still is awesome! Collection IHSH-409

I have 3 CPO jackets in XL. Got this in XXL and it pretty much fits like all my XL ones. Maybe a tick bigger. Glad I trusted the measurements. XL would have been a little too snug on this one.
-
Got mine too. Not a bad fit. The sleeves are pretty tight so there will be no layering, but I didn't intend to.

@svenz
Hi there. I did think the pit to pit measurements was on the small side already before I ordered it. Though the next one up, Large was going to be too big and long in sleeves and body.
So I chanced it.
I don’t think it will stretch given the hefty 19oz.
