Just got my indigo cpo and it's damn near perfect. The fabric is very similar to the 18oz vintage (which I love) with a just a bit more slub. I'd be hard pressed to tell the difference if I didn't know it was a different denim. The measurements and fit are what I was hoping for and, for the size medium that I got (my usual IH size), appears to be very similar to the 292. I want to wear this as a jacket rather than a shirt and I can fit a UHF under it for a slightly tight but comfortable enough fit. With wear I know it will stretch enough to be perfect. Also was glad that the hem isn't too wide and clings to my body while not being tight at all. Seeing how nice the CPOs turned out I'm definitely thinking about grabbing a pair of the jeans.

RE: IHJ-149-IND - 10oz Selvedge Denim Blanket Lined Chore Jacket - Indigoposted in Jackets
Just received mine and it's awesome. Beautiful color, very cozy, and I love the symmetrical pockets and all of the extra copper pocket snaps. The hand warmers and interior pocket are additional features that really elevate this jacket. The interior pocket is roomy and can accommodate large phones if you didn't want to use the exterior pockets. I'm normally a medium in most things IH and sized down to a small in this one. That was the right choice for me as I can still wear a UHF underneath and have plenty of room.
One thing to note is that the lining runs through the arms and the material is a little scratchy so I would recommend avoiding wearing short sleeved tops under this. I doubt this will be an issue for most since it's a colder weather jacket sized for wearing over hoodies, flannels, sweaters, etc. underneath.

@SKT Nice! My sister got me one of these when she was in Japan in May. It's a fantastic shirt. My favorite chambray shirt for sure.
The Flat Head just released a western version of this shirt (FN-SCW-003).
I love this fabric and the construction so much I'm definitely grabbing the western as well.

Vans recently released some denim sneakers for those that are interested. I picked up a pair of the Skate Sk8-Hi and really love them.
They also released a low top version (Skate Old School Shoe). Probably gonna grab a pair of these too.

RE: UES Clothing MFG .CO.posted in Other Brands and Shops
I know the last thing most of us need is another indigo shirt, but I figured I'd post this anyways. I recently got the new UES Indigo Viyella shirt. It's the same pattern as the 14.5 ounce flannel except this one is a lightweight 8oz flannel like fabric. While it is listed as only one ounce lighter than the IH 9oz flannels, it feels much lighter and is way more flowy. It feels closer to the 5oz dobby fabric. Probably too warm for summer wear but great for spring and autumn. Another indigo lightweight option for the warmer months.
One thing to note is that for whatever reason the sleeves are longer than usual on this one when compared to other UES shirts. I had to roll back the cuffs on mine which I don't mind since the fabric is lightweight.

For all of you that were into the FN-SCK-010L 5oz chambray work shirts from last year, The Flat Head recently release a new colorway (black). I just received mine and it's great.

Withered Fig, Snake Oil Provisions, and Guilty Party are the stockists that I know of who have it right now. There are also western and short sleeve workshirt versions of these chambrays as well.

RE: IHSH-389-IND - 12oz Dobby Cloth CPO Shirt - Indigoposted in Shirting
Wore mine today and I love it. The fabric is different from other sashiko pieces I own. This feels sturdier and less flimsy even though the fabric weights are similar. Was breezy and cool out (mid 40s F) and it kept me comfortably warm with just a tee underneath. As others have stated, the body length is shorter than other IH CPOs. Still works for me but if you are thinking about buying this definitely check the measurements for length if that is a concern for you. There is greater potential for showing butt crack if you lean over and are wearing low/mid rise jeans. I like to layer this over an untucked tee, so if you like to do the same this works best with some shorter length tees (e.g Warehouse 4601) if you don't want the undershirt to stick out past the hem of the CPO.

Finally got to test this out in cold weather. Was hit with some snow last night and had to shovel this morning. 25 F outside and wore this over an UHF and was very warm. The relaxed fit allows for maximum mobility (and I sized down one size) even when layering. Really love this jacket.

RE: STF-TRS101-IND - STF 12oz Jersey Lounge Trousers - Indigoposted in SaturdayTypeFever
@Steve I'm a medium + 31". Large would be too big. I'll sign up for restock notification just in case there is a return or cancellation.

RE: UES Clothing MFG .CO.posted in Other Brands and Shops
@Chibs I have a few of their suvin gold shirts. They're nice and fit slim and small. I guess I would characterize them as medium weight and pretty smooth in regards to texture. Soft but I find that the recycled cotton shirts that various brands have been offering are softer (e.g ELS recycled cotton shirts from Wonderlooper). I have a couple of the suvin gold tees from Studio D'artisan as well but don't find those to be especially soft, but they are nice shirts. Just bought a couple of the Wonderlooper suvin tees from Redcast Heritage and am looking forward to seeing how these compare.
I'd say that the UES suvin shirts are worth grabbing but try to get them from Bears Tokyo when they restock them since they are a lot cheaper. I got mine through them for under $60 USD and have seen them go for over $100 from other stockists.

I recently received a pair of the SJ42BP (Heavy Back Satin Trousers - Olive - Slim Straight Cut) and they fit and feel incredible. These recently restocked in Japan (Denimio and Okayama Denim). I love the bakers pants, but wanted to try this fabric in a different cut.

Mine arrived today and it fits perfectly. Not that I'm surprised. This shirt looks great on everyone. The photos from this thread convinced me I needed this one. Not sure what took me so long.
