IHSH-409-IB - 19oz Selvedge Denim CPO Shirt - Indigo/Black
-
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. -
@GeorgieL
Hey.
I am 5.7 (171cm) and 145lb (66 kg)
I have the CPO Overdyed IB already, and that is fitted and quite tight under the pits as well, but not as ”bad” as this, so I thought maybe this one just has to be soften up by wear.
I really want to keep this one but perhaps I should put my money on something that I can wear without hesitation. -
Think I saw these in stock at self edge Sunday. I was locked in/focused on pant selection. Picked up some chinos and pair of 633 21oz SBGs. Everyone’s pics got me FOMOing, and got the “denim itch” right now lol. I still have the SEXIH25-CPOOD waiting to break out(wore like half a day), but one can never have to many CPOs. May stop in tomorrow and check out if was in stock and my size still there.

@Adero did you see 140 is getting restocked. Same fabric but grey instead of black weft.

@moskiitto
oh dear....just when I thought I was out.....
No I didn't see that, but I have now.
lol -
@meatmarketdenim1 are you sure that Selfedge is stocking this CPO? I believe the stock list was updated and Selfedge did not stock them. There is nothing online either. Maybe I am remembering wrong and the stock list is incomplete. Either way, nothing a simple call to them could answer.

Sleeves are a whole inch or so longer than all of my other CPOS. But tighter just about everywhere else than all my other CPOs. Moving up to a S from XS it would have swallowed me so I’m glad I take the XS. Just odd sizing compared to other IH Tops. Sleeves fit more like some of my westerns that are size S. Doing the half role thing works. I am hopeful that once the fabric breaks in and the sleeve kind of crease and settle in they will be better. This has been my grail piece for a while as I’m a sucker for indigo/black especially with tonal stitching. Seems like everyone across the board has had similar sizing issues. None the less great CPO!
