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

[CosmoSix5]

@Rustygate37 I think it's this measurement that's the difference. My 422 and 409(both 2x) are nearly identical p2p and body/sleeve but this arm measurement is smaller by about .5 inch on the 409. The cuff is .25" smaller. I love it!

[Rustygate37]

@CosmoSix5 that must be it, I reckon you might be onto it.
Its my 5th CPO and is near on identical to many other IH shirts that I have but somehow feels slimmer.
It feels like a tailor made shirt, perfect in just about every way.
Stoked to see that you got the 2 CPO’s that you were after.
It’s 30°c (86°f) in my part of the world and It’s supposed to still be winter. Looks like my CPO and UHF wearing days are just about over til next year.

@suitcaselife hey mate, we aren’t allowed to sell via this convo but I will be sending a XXL back to the UK when I’m finally back home again.

When the light hits this fabric comes to life. Already looking forward to those late summer, early fall sunny evenings.

Wearing a moderately faded 409 today and the proprietor at a local noticed it, "wow, is that like a velvet denim?!".

Perfect "not quite jacket cold" layer. 40° at 5:30. 85° atm

How do you guys feel about the pockets? It is my first CPO so I'm sure it's standard but I was surprised the pocket bags don't function as inside pockets (the bottom is not sewn). I'm used to the dual function pockets I have on my Type 3.

[tody]

@stenaloom that is the case with all IH CPO shirts

[Tago Mago]

@stenaloom CPOs don’t have a waistband into which to sew the internal pockets

[northsouthdenimguy]

Personally, I don’t want internal pockets. I need as little as possible adding bulk around the waist. Internal pockets just create another opportunity for the silhouette to get pushed out, especially if you actually put anything in them.

[Northman]

I did think about the internal pockets the first time I wore a CPO, but more often than not I find myself thinking why normal shirts don't have pockets. TFW reaching for pockets but you are wearing a shirt and not a CPO.

[Chibs]

The worst part for me is having the internal pocket’s shape with no actual pocket. Combine that with muscle memory from always putting my phone in my type 3’s internal pocket and my phone just smacked onto pavement.

@CosmoSix5 Love that combo man! Especially with that belt!

[kojimastreets]

@northsouthdenimguy haha I am for sure on team internal pockets over here

Just over two weeks straight. One of my top 3 IH pieces as it stands now. The rainshower I found myself in a week ago made it mold even more I think.

It’s interesting how this shirt fades super duper fast but at the same time wearing it fresh out the box over a white tee produces 0 stains / crocking whatsoever.

[ozai]

@weftyarn I've only worn it a few times now around the house because it's been pretty steamy outside. It seems like if I stare at it long enough I can almost see it fading in real time.

[WithBongInHand]

Super duper fast is an understatement. 6 wears in.

@stenaloom For my two of my CPO’s I sewed in inner pockets by following the bottom line of the pocket bag. Works great, and not super visible.
