Still debating whether i go for brass or copper snaps
This makes the decision simple
-
@CosmoSix5 There is no such thing as coincidence
-
Hey @don_pipone how much give/flex would you say this shirt has? Like especially in the shoulders? Im....sadly between sizes 🥲
-
@cyclops I am between sizes too and have quite wide shoulders. I went for the smaller size. It feels a bit tight, but I can easily move and it doesn’t feel restrictive at all. I‘d say certain give/flex is definitely there.
-
@don_pipone ooo hmm interesting! Hmm yeah normally i am like 19.5inch shoulders. But they are at 19.2 for XL so its a toss up. And i dont wanna keep hassling the good folks at IH to measure so its a bit of a guessing game....and going up a size is good for shoulders but the chest becomes too wide with material behind the arms etc...
thanks anyway its good to get feedback from those that own it -
@cyclops I took the risk because I find this shirt must keep its slim silhouette and didn't want it to wide from chest to opening. The fabric is really soft and forgiving. I have other shirts with similar sizing but different fabric that I barely wear since they don't have any give at all.

@don_pipone yeah i totally know what you mean. Other brands i might take a risk cause its thinner crappier fabric perhaps. IH is so tough most of the time that i have to think more carefully. Ok very interesting and genuine thanks for the feedback! Will have lots to think about....
-
@cyclops I know the struggle. However, I am pretty sure the IH folks would be happy to help you and measure
You won't be the first and definitely not the last one -
I put copper snaps on mine about a year ago, was a good decision, actually had some random lady stop me at a store and ask where I got the shirt because her son would like it
-
Scored a second hand one for my better half last year. Nice fades. It's her favorite shirt to lounge in and makes a great maternity shirt for feeding because of the snap open/closure while being soft and relaxed. -
Could be a stupid question so forgive me but how does this fabric compare to the 13.5 ounce Dobby cloth ?
-
@Johnnyutah247 way softer, little bit like slubby flannel maybe but definetely not as rigid and less textured
-
@Johnnyutah247 it’s a totally different beast but both are amazing. The jersey is more comparable to corduroy but it’s definitely not corduroy. The Dobby is a bit rougher and slub adjacent

Also - how many indigo shirts does a man need, asking for a friend!
All of them
-
Here’s mine with copper snaps… need to wear it more often, it’s a beautiful material/shirt.
-
@Jord looks amazing! This makes me want to get mine retrofitted
-
@Jord and @don_pipone how thick is the kersey? I know i can see the ounces, but does the hand feel thicker than an UHF? Or like a thick CPO? Anything you might compare this to?
Just saw Jord's brass upgrades, looks so good. But im now wondering whether i have too much brass with the several CPOs that i own
-
@cyclops It's a little "stretchy" is how I would describe it, I mostly reach for my UHF's, it's hard to describe and I'm sure I can't do it justice... but I would say it's a little less thick than a UHF but similar
-
@cyclops it's heavy. I'd wager to say it's heavier than a UHF. Unbrushed fabric of course. It drapes wonderfully. I have a gray jersey but it's to big so I don't wear it often. That's in the front of my mind ordering this one.
