@Shaun Thanks!

@worn2fade Sizing varies between each run so always check the measurements. The OD is different because the dyeing shrinks the denim a lot. I went one size larger in the 293-OD than my usual IH CPO size to compensate. So I wouldn't expect the same issues with the 409-IB since it is not overdyed.

@ShopatIronHeart I know y'all are busy, but if someone has a moment, could you please do a mock up of this shirt with the new dark mother of pearls snaps. I'm trying to decide between the regular MOP or dark MOP upgrade for this shirt. Thanks!

Dark mother of pearls snaps look great. Was gonna upgrade the 438 with MOP snaps but now I'm thinking of maybe going with Dark MOP instead.

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.

Wore my 398 today, so I am totally ready for this one. Was worried at first that the measurements looked a little big for my usual IH size, but then remembered that these numbers were pretty close to those for the 398 (where I stuck with my regular IH size). Went back and checked the measurements for the 398 for my size and they are close to matching.

@northsouthdenimguy I'm just glad I saw your post when I did because my size is pretty much sold out now. I would have been pissed off if I missed out on these hahaha.

@northsouthdenimguy Ran across your post a couple weeks ago and saw the black baker pants are a limited release. Wanted these so grabbed a pair and love them. Definitely gonna grab the green as well. Love the drape and how they wear. They fit loose on me but don't look overly baggy. Really comfortable.

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.

The black buttons look great on this, but I'm really tempted to go pearl snaps.

I stupidly passed on this when it was first released. Not gonna make that mistake again. I just hope I'm able to grab one of these when they re-stock in April.

This is gorgeous. I see a few "navy" corduroy shirts but it is rare to find an indigo dyed one like this. I'm already imagining the fades on this one.

Just noticed that these restocked and had to do it. Been on a thermal craze lately since I've been dealing with consistent sub zero F weather for the past few weeks. If I end up really loving this one (and I see no reason I wouldn't) I'll grab the Henley version too when those restock.

@Jam_Shar 511 and 710 are the two Samurai cuts that I buy. I'd say off the top of my head it is comparable to the 555 and 777. 555 is my usual IH cut but I also own a pair of the 777. The 511 usually has a lower rise which makes me think it is closer to the 777 than 555 but I think both cuts have similarities to the 511.

@CosmoSix5 I have been eyeing this one myself. I got the jeans which I think are make of the same fabric, which is amazing. Looking forward to some fit pics when you get it.

Denimio went DDP not long after de minimis ended.

@SKT Perfect fit. I have been wearing mine a lot lately and it has been my favorite piece of the season despite me buying three of this season's flannels.

@ZackB I wore mine out in 0 F weather the other day layered over a UES extra heavy flannel and a t-shirt. I was out shoveling snow for at least 30 minutes and was actually starting to sweat. I'm surprised at how warm it is given that the denim is only 10 oz, but the lining makes more of a difference than I anticipated.

@Sir_Cuffs-a-Lot Thank you for the info and the comparison photo. This really helps a lot and gives me a good sense of what to expect. Definitely gonna grab one of these.

@Sir_Cuffs-a-Lot The pink looks great on you especially with the Murakumo. I'm still thinking about grabbing this one. Is the color more of a peach or pink in person? It's hard to tell from the various photos I have seen.

@Eza I stayed with my normal IH size of medium. The measurements were about one size larger in the release that I purchased mine from, so I just stuck with my regular IH size as I wanted to layer. The measurements can vary from drop to drop, so check the measurements for the next batch when they release them just to make sure.
