Black broken twill cpo came in the mail today. The 13 oz is very different than the 14oz broken twill I had mind. So crunchy and it will break in nice! Fit is perfect too. Will try to grab pics this weekend!

Holy crap. Great fades!

@cyclops I have lived in the 293 on and off for the last year and a half. It's my favorite shirt and the fabric has really developed over the last couple of washes. I haven't worn this shirt more than a few minutes around the house but it's definitely a different shirt overall. Aside from being an overdyed black cpo, I don't know how similar they are. Softer handfeel, seems like it gives a little more than the vintage 18oz, and direct overdye than sulfur dye. In the selfedge jean thread I saw some report that this fabric has a good bit of give so that could be good if you need some stretch. I have some comparison photos of the two side by side somewhere in either this thread or the 293 thread. If I can figure out how to quote my own posts I will.

@Gavin666 my 293 and this shirt in the same size are almost the same width at the forearm but they both feel very comfortable in the forearm. I have had other iron heart shirts that are much more snug. I think it will be okay.

Love to see the amount of love the ihj 122 and 123 have been getting. I was so excited when it was announced to make a comeback at the beginning of the year.

@GoodtimeJohnny words can't explain how tough the decision is. Sorry for your loss. Your pup was well loved I'm sure.

Picked these up last year but slim cut just isn't for me. Planning to pick up some wide fit pants from this year's SS release so these will just be collecting dust. Only worn to try on, measurements below. Price is $180 shipped CONUS PayPal/venmo/ zelle. Thank you for your time!

All measure IH way

Is it fair to say agitating unsaforized jeans at home is a way of somewhat sanforizing them? I'm sure not to the same extent the actual process agitates them.

@Sunnergren I've been in the ihj 123 for like two weeks now. My first time with broken twill and I love it. So soft and great for warmer days/cooler evenings.

@sabergirl nvm they up now!

@sabergirl if I remember correctly from last year's release, they had separate stock for in stock purchase? We'll find out in about an hour! @Ral1121 Appreciate the early measurements! I target 24" p2p as well.

@Oaktavia it is great! I've wanted a very relaxed cut for a while now. The team got it right for sure.

Appreciate all the help guys! @Axel-HH @Shane-B love this cut. Definitely a good warmer month fabric and cut. For anyone with experience on both, do you find it similar to 1955?

@Lynne my favorite iron heart sticker! May have to request this one on the next order

Went TTS and gonna embrace the relaxed fit.

Thank you for the kind messages everyone. It's hard to not be mad at the universe, but we know he would want us to remember him in a better light.

Edit: here he was crashing my "measure your best fitting shirt" party. He loved the 293.

We said goodnight to our sweet boy yesterday. Life has been so surreal this last week. Please hug your pets, question your vet if something doesn't sound right, and fuck cancer.

@eiderdown I think one of the biggest factors are that the waist dims can change by each batch. My 888 142bb, 21od, XHS, and XHS IB are all size 36 but they vary in actual waist measurements. They are all within a range that I can work with though. I'd say knowing your true waist and comparing a pair of jeans your currently own are a good starting point.

@weftyarn man and I thought I was crushing mine! Way to go
