I'm trying to play it cool right now, but this shirt is BONKERS. As others have said, this hide provides such a unique wear experience. The shirt runs a bit long (no surprise) and heavier than I expected (great surprise), yet it remains incredibly supple and easy to move in. Very special.

I can't decide if this is too much hickory stripe or not enough...

It's really cool to see some of the OG pieces in this thread. I'm a newbie but like @68degreesorless, my first IH was 633 21oz from Self Edge. Amazing denim that's into the "sweatpants soft" phase for me. The day I went to buy the jeans, I lucked out that SE had this flannel (IHSH-411) in my size as well.

Day 2: 20oz paraffin coated duck, ready for the beach (but seriously, sharks can't bite through this)

Hi everyone. I'm new to IH (a colleague pointed me towards the brand in March) but I've already spent an embarrassing amount of time (and $$$) delving down the rabbit hole. There's not much I can say about IH that hasn't already been said, but it's worth mentioning that this forum is AWESOME. What an incredible resource! Thanks to everyone who makes this place what it is.
A bit about me: I live in Houston, TX (not a very IH-friendly climate unfortunately, but thank goodness for air conditioning). My main hobby is parkour, which I've been dabbling in for nearly 2 decades. One of my favorite parkour movements is a "kong" vault to a "precision" landing - typically abbreviated as a "kong-precision", which hopefully explains my username. Now that I've been indoctrinated into denimland, I am finding myself curious as to what parkour fades might look like...
Wife took this before dinner on Friday (it was fancy, hence the dress shoes). Worn with 634S-142ib-c. I can't offer much in the way of comparison as this is my first Fox Brothers shirt, but it is insanely good. Snug in the forearms, but I like the trim fit in the torso.

Fabric detail:

First XHSib - these are grail jeans for me! I might set up a cot and sleep next to my front door until they arrive...
I was under the impression that they would be released the day of SE Austin's Western-themed party (April 25), but I was at the NY store last week and they sold me a black one:

Also, SE is has shown the indigo version on their Instagram:

I still don't see anything on the website, which is confusing. Hopefully I'm not stepping on any toes by sharing this...
@hugothecowboy I went with Medium (my typical IH size) - I considered sizing down, but I was able to try this on in-store and I'm very happy with it. Still works with a t-shirt if needed.

@68degreesorless Your photos in this thread are excellent - I'm totally sold on this color now. Just have to decide whether or not to pimp with copper.
@sabergirl I just measured the opening at 20.6 (same as the waist). For avoidance of doubt, I used the IH method at the top of the side seam gussets.
@j3butch1 I went with my normal IH size for the black version - I'm almost always a M (with the occasional S or L sprinkled in depending on the model). I'd say this shirt fits pretty close to the middle of my size M CPOs. I took some quick measurements (inches):
Shoulder: 18.1
Chest: 21.5
Waist: 20.6
Length: 29.0
Sleeve: 26.0
I didnt try on the indigo, so can't comment on sizing there.
It was initially crispier than I expected, but it's starting to soften after just a couple of wears.
@Oaktavia This is a true black, not overdyed. The salesguy I spoke to said it would fade (implying sulphur dyed?), but he didnt seem 100% sure. I don't know how this denim compares to the 14oz broken twill - the 13 oz CPO is much stuffer/crispier than my IHJ-123-OD, but the difference is likely mostly due to the overdying vs the underlying denim.
I also love the grey W - that pushed me over the edge for this one.

FWIW, I'm having the same experience with my UHR right now. I havent gotten worried enough to reach out to IHUK yet, but to your question, this has never happened to me before across 20+ orders. Definitely not a typical occurrence.
@Jett129 it looks like Self Edge will be running a broken twill CPO:

If an outfit could bestow enlightenment, this would be it. I am humbled.
