@_joey sweet yard! I need to get grasses tips from you it looks like

Haha thanks dude! What’s duck canvas without a proper wildlife refuge in the backyard, right?

And yes — super into the native bunch grasses! We’re in California, for reference, with very heavy clay soil in a narrow valley setting.

Some of the plants you see are: purple needle grass, deergrass, nodding needle grass, alkali sacaton, and common juncus. some yarrow, elymus glauca, and blue eyed grass in there somewhere too. Those + big trees have been a sweet combo for our clay muck!

the grasses are easy but seasonal — we let ‘em seed out and look great in the breeze, then cut them back close to the ground every summer, both for looks and fire danger

And we’re back!

Astorflex chukkas + Left Field Kakishibu Bucklebacks (tapered to 9.25” leg opening) + Bronson tank + IH 189

really enjoying the kakishibu brown weft undertones vibing with the 189 and the boots

While I love the overdyed cpo, I find it difficult (because of my coloring, maybe?) to style it casually. Sometimes it feels like too bold of a piece for my wardrobe, but I know that the more I wear it, the more character and softness will develop.

Throwing it on here with a beater beer shirt, Todd Snyder relaxed washed denim, and some Wolverine 1000 milers.

Watermelon UHF / LL Bean Chore / Freenote slub chinos / muck boots / lotta rain today

Had really been struggling to fill out this vintage Bean chore coat — but the UHF does the trick. Gives the coat structure too so it’s less of a potato sack

@kojimastreets aw cheers man, thanks! honestly there’s pros/cons to the size up — it’s all about what you want from the piece. if I stayed my usual size, it’d still be sweet - just a more fitted, dressier, and honestly my more preferred length. Maybe that’s where yours’ landed?

but what I wanted was an outdoor ready iron heart carhartt crusher - and that’s what I got!

It’s duck season in California!

Cheesin’ on the untucked today! I’ve tried wearing this same purple thermal with the self edge collab cpo — kinda uncomfortable as the baggy undershirt has too much material for the slimmer cpo arm opening.

This is just way more user friendly for layering

@imgg hey dude! Check my post above for fit of the 4XL at 6’2, 215lbs. Longtime powerlifter with a 270lb current bench press, so I need that chest room too, for sure

Mine came in at 24.9” and is totally perfect for both t shirt and layered wear. It really does rock, though - I’ve been getting lots of compliments already and it is just beautiful in the sunshine.

It’s a hit! XXXXL via Gosport — thanks Josh for the outstanding customer service. I asked for the shortest 4XL available and the guys delivered.

Plan is to wear this CPO as a chore coat and outer layer. Mission accomplished! Plenty of room for a UHF or hoodie and mobility for the manual labor (i volunteer in native plant restoration) that I want to do in it — but still fitted enough to wear out and look nice.

Thanks everyone for their observations and analysis. Really helped to dial this in. And I’m 6’2” 215lbs, if that helps anyone making a similar call.

@Northman nice hit on the 3XL!! I scored the SP this morning and requested a shorter length from the guys. I’m a big ol’ powerlifter and figured I’d risk a larger fit — and an exchange if it’s silly big

@Northman

Yep, we’re in the exact same boat! I’m 6’2” 215lbs and want this to be a more structured and streamlined version (ie internal pockets rather than external) of a chore coat - so I think I’ll just deal with the longer length. Mobility wins with this one!

Can only speak for myself, but I’m between the XXXL (same measurements as my collab CPO — which is perfect over a t shirt, if a bit tight on the arms, and just big enough to layer comfortably over a thinner long sleeve) and the XXXXL, where I prefer the chest measurement but am unsure about the longer length.

Tough call! I’m in coastal Southern California and probably won’t be wanting to layer over a flannel — so I’ll probably stick with XXXL (also my size in the watermelon!). Goal is to use this for outdoorsy work à la @Denimhead-0

(also - this is my first post! shoutout to the community here. the info has been crucial in finding a few pieces (aforementioned UHF and the CPO, along with a 1955 14oz that fits me better than anything I’ve ever worn) that are just treasures of my wardrobe and hopefully the stuff my young kids will remember me wearing when they think of me and their childhood
