Enjoyed taking the IHV-51-BRN out for a spin today. Baby’s first brunch.

Loving this combo: IHSH-292, IH-526PJ

My colleagues don’t even know…

Looks like I got a goldilocks fit with this one. Slim enough to wear over a t and look good, and roomy enough over a shirt to wear comfortably. Went usual size of XL. Thanks to the IHUK team as always, beautiful piece

Soaking up a 16C day in June (i.e. still cool enough for the IH-526PJ)

What a treat to get to whip out the IHSH-397 in June . Have also implemented the drying hands after washing on sleeve for crease setting. Works well.

It’s all IH today. 888-142od.

First IH piece was the IHSH-288 Kersey work shirt in July of ‘22. Was so impressed with the fabric and construction.. it made me an immediate IH loyalist.

SEXIH25 Indigo vs IHSH-292 CPOs

For most pictures, SEXIH25 on the left, 292 on the right. Except for the Frankenstein shirt below.

The SEXIH25 is probably a more visually interesting denim, with some of that kasuri look with more specs of ecru from the weft popping through. It’s more of a deeper, darker indigo than the vintage 18oz. Slubbier as well for sure.

The 1oz difference is surprisingly noticeable. The 19oz is definitely hefty.

I do love the vintage 18oz denim though. Hairier, lighter shade of indigo, and soft once broken in (as I’m sure SEXIH25 will be too, though pretty soft off the get go).

Here the 292 is on the left. My 292 is about a year old and I’ve put some decent wear on it, but no washes and it’s not particularly far along its fading journey.

Fit pics, because why not. I love the fit of my 292, ever so slightly roomy as intended and very comfortable. The SEXIH25 is a tiny but more snug all around, but hoping as it breaks in it loosens just a little. Both XL and measure similarly. SEXIH25 is about .25” tighter in all ways.

Excuse the face, I’m actually happy today .

@AdamJ might not look terrible but my prior version of this shirt sits very different at the collar. Merz are on it

Thanks y’all looking forward to breaking these puppies in. Appreciate the feedback.

As mentioned previously.. after the hem and soak these ended up a little bit longer than the measurement I had in mind. Factoring in the cuff, these are measuring about .5-.75 inches longer than my 888-142od and 633s. I was bit worried but obviously they’re not a mile off, and maybe .5 inches extra isn’t a bad thing with XHS? Thoughts? Brightness all the way up so the fit is visible.

@Tom-Longarms last weekend on Camden Street!

@Tom-Longarms pretty sure I saw this fit IRL in Dublin

This is a skill I really want to learn. Amazing job. Would love to hear the steps you’ve taken to get to this point. If you do the sleeves make sure to document it here!

@worn2fade @Denimhead-0 thanks gents!

Pretty sure a year ago I said to myself I’d never do 25oz yet here we are… post hot soak fit. Seemingly I only lost about .5 inches in inseam so I fear they might be longer than I wanted. Will have to see how they wear over the next little while to see what I should do next. Overall happy with the fit. Wife on the other hand, is confused.
