SEXIH25-CPO - Self Edge x Iron Heart 19oz Denim CPO Shirt

@Phil_NYC There is not a different size spec only a difference in how they are measured. The best course of action is always refer to the retailers method of measuring and compare your measurements mimicking their to ensure the best fit.

@goosehd yep I am beginning to learn that. I ended up sizing up from what usually is an xxl to a xxxl for this CPO. Should be receiving it on Saturday I believe so we will see how it goes

@Ral1121 interested to hear your thoughts as I wanted to but but the XL fits but the sleeves are short and the XXL will fit if the one arrives try at match the measurements

@Gavin666 my 293 and this shirt in the same size are almost the same width at the forearm but they both feel very comfortable in the forearm. I have had other iron heart shirts that are much more snug. I think it will be okay.

@catdad1 how similar is this to the 293? Is it visually fairly different? I have the 293 so im unsure whether im doubling up or whether its just different enough etc

@cyclops I have lived in the 293 on and off for the last year and a half. It's my favorite shirt and the fabric has really developed over the last couple of washes. I haven't worn this shirt more than a few minutes around the house but it's definitely a different shirt overall. Aside from being an overdyed black cpo, I don't know how similar they are. Softer handfeel, seems like it gives a little more than the vintage 18oz, and direct overdye than sulfur dye. In the selfedge jean thread I saw some report that this fabric has a good bit of give so that could be good if you need some stretch. I have some comparison photos of the two side by side somewhere in either this thread or the 293 thread. If I can figure out how to quote my own posts I will.

@catdad1 all good thanks! Haha im mentally justifying whether to make the purchase or not. I dont mind the shiney brass buttons against the OD either. So just contemplating...

So I know there have been quite a few sizing questions on this. Thought I would provide measurements for the xxxl I received today.

I usually fall into a xxl with the measurement I look for which are P2P of around 23.75-24 and a shoulder width of 19.5-20”. I also measured using IH UKs method.

Tag size: xxxl
Shoulders : 20.25”
Length: 30.25”
P2P: 24”
Waiste: 23.25”
Opening: 23.75”
Sleeve: 26.5”
Sleeve opening: 4.9”

Overall this came in a hair smaller then what was listed on self edges site in general (mainly P2P) so it will be a hair tight to fit a layer underneath but I will make do. For the weather that I get in Texas, I usually do not need to really layer too often during the couple of months of cool weather.

Also, I am glad I went by listed measurements which told me to go with a xxxl instead of the usual xxl. Sizes can vary quite a bit between different orders/batches of product.
