@babyknight thanks for the info. Do you wear a belt?

@Oaktavia those fades are popping already! Only worn around the house??? That’s wild.

@kiya said in SEXIH25-CPO - Self Edge x Iron Heart 19oz Denim CPO Shirt:

The heft of the 21oz, the character of the SLB denim, the saturation of the Vintage denim, and the light hairiness of the UHR.

Mission accomplished! I guess that’s why it’s so difficult to describe. It’s such a perfect blend of all four denims. Can’t wait to break these in!

@Oaktavia I’d say out of the few different denim pieces I have (21IB, XHSIB, SBG, SLBOD), these are probably the most coarse and hairy. It’s quite comfortable from the very first wear, although not as buttery soft as the SLBOD. The denim is going to fade beautifully.

The CPO overall is definitely hefty. But this is my first experience with any CPOs, so I’m not sure if that’s just the “overbuilt” nature of the CPO.

My apologies if this wasn’t very helpful. My knowledge and vocabulary with denim isn’t very strong.

@Fadez I’m 5’9” at 175 pounds. I tried on the large first. It fit well, but the arms were a bit tight. So I tried the Extra Large, and that one fit very comfortably. The sleeves are a bit long, but I’m fine with cuffing them. It’s a fitted look, which is my preference.

I’ve never actually measured myself with a tape measurer, but I find that tops with ~19” chest and ~43-44” shoulder measurements work best for me.

Made it out to the LA shop about 10 minutes after opening. I had my eyes on the prize and was able to snag both items that I wanted; Indigo CPO and Indigo 633. The OD CPO looked and felt amazing, and it was hard to resist the temptation. Fortunately, they ran out of my size.

I figured some of you would like to see some shots of the CPO, so I took some quick photos. The 633 are getting hemmed, so I’ll take photos of those when I get them back.

Got to meet and chat with @Giles, @Alex, @kiya, and Demitra. Picked up some free goodies. Drank some drinks. Overall, I had a great time at the party.

Congrats to the Self Edge and Iron Heart teams for an epic release!

@Mister_Brue I appreicate the feedback. I think you might’ve swayed me towards the OD CPO. I guess it’ll be a game time decision once I see it at the release party.

@flannel-slut thanks for being the voice of reason. I’ll stick with the indigo 633 and OD CPO. I’ll hold off for something else down the road. I’m currently eyeing that IB CPO, but there’s no timeframe on when it’ll be returning.

I’ve got a first world dilemma I’d like some feedback on. I’m planning on getting the indigo 633 for upcoming Indigo invitational. I don’t have any CPO’s, so I’m getting one from this collection; heavily leaning towards the indigo. I’d also like to get the Type 3, but I currently have the SLBOD Type 3.

My dilemma is which should be my third piece? I’d like to get one OD piece from this collection. The OD Type 3 is out since it would be too much overlap with my current SLBOD. I don’t want to enter the indigo invitational with an OD piece. This will be my first CPO, so that’s the reason why I’m leaning towards the indigo.

My thought process for the third piece is:

1. Do I get the OD CPO and keep it on ice for a bit, and wear after I’ve broken in the indigo CPO?
2. Do I get the OD 633 as a bridge/non-competition pair?
3. Do I get the indigo Type 3 since I don’t have a non-OD Type 3?

Bonus: Do I just get the indigo 633 and indigo CPO, and hold off for something else down the line?

Sorry for the long winded comment. I’d appreciate any feedback!

@deadendpro I’ll be attending the event, and I’d love to meetup beforehand.

RGT Sashiko Supply Jacket or Cruiser Jacket. I believe they are currently out of stock, but they do occasional pre-orders. Snake Oil Provisions also does pre-orders. Definitely worth checking out. I think both jackets have a very nice silhouette.

@Oaktavia you know very well that nobody is gonna talk you out of getting both! I’m surprised nobody has pushed you to get all three….

I’m set on getting the 633 indigo and CPO indigo. The OD is calling out to me, because it’s OD. This will be my first CPO so I’m set on getting the indigo version. Same with the 633. I’m POSSIBLY thinking about getting the Type III OD, but I already have the 526 SLBOD. So that’ll be too much overlap.

@CosmoSix5 Without taking any before or after measurements, I’d say the sleeves shortened about 1-1.25 inches. The thing that was most noticeable for me was how the arms, shoulders, and chest tightened up a bit. The jacket went from loose and flowy to more fitted, which I prefer. Also, I hot soaked and hang dried mine vs. putting it in the washer and dryer.

@CosmoSix5 I get what you mean. When I first received it, I noticed that the fabric wasn’t as… “substantial” as I was anticipating, especially compared to IH. That being said, after seeing the fade potential, I was committed.

I gave it a soak over the weekend, and it fits much better than when I first received it. After wearing just for a couple days, it feels like the creases on the sleeves have already set. I’ve also noticed some very minor fading in some of the high wear areas.

@CosmoSix5 It looks great on you. What makes you think the sleeves are short? I think the sleeves hit right at the sweet spot on your wrists. All personal preference of course.

I gave mine a soak over the weekend. I didn’t get any before or after measurements, but it definitely feels like it fits better for me. The sleeves were still a bit long for me, so I cuffed it about an inch.

P.S. Wearing a white t shirt with the sashiko is a brave move!

@Oaktavia super crispy! These are fading beautifully.

@m4xime honestly, I have no idea. I’ve never modified the length of the sleeves on anything. From my limited understanding, shortening the sleeves on any jacket requires quite a bit of work.

@Oaktavia thank you sir! I think this denim on some bottoms would be amazing since it would get more wear and tear. For me personally.

@flannel-slut thanks! I’ll try to keep track of the progress here.

@Cskarev beautiful progress.

Fresh delivery! I went with a size large based off the measurements. The jacket fits pretty well overall, except for the sleeves. They were quite a bit long on me, so I just cuffed them. I think it works.

Definitely have to be mindful of the crocking with this piece. My hands are covered in indigo just from handling it. This will be a fun piece to fade.

Comparison shot with SLBod.
