IHSH-409-IB - 19oz Selvedge Denim CPO Shirt - Indigo/Black
-
Played around with layering tonight while I was organizing the bedroom. So my 409 was sized purposely snug and wasn't expecting a ton of versatility. That said, it fit over the 297 Sashiko and a tee. Def snug but buttoned up without issue. 9oz work flannel was a different story but only due to it being oversized slightly. Fit great over a properly fitted Kersey. Here's the only photos I took. Over 297

@Jett129 It's all water under the bridge to me at this point. I pulled out the sewing machine and realigned the pocket to what is ideal for me.
I was surprised something that far out of alignment would be within spec for such a premium product that's known for quality and detail.
When it's something that sells out so quickly, it's just unsatisfying to a lucky customer that managed to snag one for the official reseller response to be: if you don't like it, return it.
I know any differing opinion on forums can come off like Team A vs Team B, but this isn't that for me, just a minor inconvenience. It was a reminder that I should always be careful with any purchase sight unseen.
This was a nice opportunity to "make it mine" anyway, and I frequently customize my gear when I get them in one way or another.
Enjoy the day. It's just a shirt and a great looking one at that. Nothing to stress too much about.
BTW, If the alignment bothers anyone else, you can take it to a tailor and they should be able to fix it for you pretty quickly. It's best to do it sooner than later before any fading starts.

@Dexterous6775 fuck yeah

@Dexterous6775 oh, you are the bloke who lined his 427 cpo. That looked pretty dope.
I have the same one too (minus the lining of course)
The strange thing is the dimensions of my 409 and my 427 are nearly identical and yet the 409 is a much tighter fit. I can wear a singlet, t-shirt and a sweater under my 427 but only a single piece under my 409 and definitely not a sweater. -
Long time lurker here that finally created an account. Have any of you that have already been wearing your shirt for a couple of days noticed the shirt stretching at all? I am trying to decide whether to keep my shirt or return it. It looks great but is very fitted and pretty tight in the shoulders. I should have bought one size up but was worried about the large shoulder measurement and longer sleeve length on the chart. Thanks.

@leathergato I hear you. I’ve been wearing it everyday since, not all day, and it’s starting to fit more like a glove. I try to keep in mind that, apart from the slimmer cut, the heavier fabric is in part what’s making it feel so restrictive. I’m guessing as it gets softer it’ll be more relaxed. And it has started to show that already. Also, it just depends on how you are planning on styling it. If you want layered or buttoned up primarily to fit like a jacket, it might not ever be exactly what you want, but as a shirt with a tank underneath, partially buttoned, there’s no other shirt that is going to look as sick as this one. That’s what I got it for, so even if it’s a little snug, that’s what I intended.

My wife has many fantastic personal qualities, bringing the right clothes for the weather is not one of them. If you are a normal individual in that situation, you will be left without your CPO. That’s just how it is.
5 days of wear on this now, stacks building up fast

@harleylawhorn Thanks so much. This is helpful. I also bought mine to wear as a shirt. Glad to hear it feels less restrictive as it breaks in.

We just had two size XLs resurface. Online now if you're hunting!

@northsouthdenimguy I know it's not what you mean, but I remember finding a covid mask in a jeans pocket around 2022 when I bought a pair on eBay... Straight in the wash

@northsouthdenimguy good advice!! I got some sort of a hair brush with my N1 as a bonus. Still have it hahaha. Not sure what to do with it
