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.

Big day at work so had to bring the heat

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 .

IHSH-292

Love this release. So hard to choose another CPO between either of these, the 409, or the SEXIH25 OD restock.

Would be fun to see him run away with it. I still think it’ll tighten up by Sunday evening but back to back will be so sweet.

I guess it’s time for a wash! Thanks for the opinions.

@jfox1980 I do - not sure what it was about the last time I wore it but it turned out to be a sweaty one.

Wore this guy on a long day at work and sweated it up pretty good. Not super visible in the photo but there are those salt residue rings around the pits now. It’s definitely not time for a wash yet… any solutions to spot treat these stains with this fabric?

Bump

Bump.

@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.
