@RubyRae Was it that you could speed up the sleeves naturally folding if you just spray some water around the area of the forearm where the creases appear? I think I followed someone's advice on that and it worked well for my Self Edge CPO. I have long arms so the sleeve length doesn't bother me that much. But even as 190cm (6'2-6'3) tall the overall length of the shirt can sometimes be too long for my taste with some IH shirts. I think I nailed my fit with XXXL there luckily. SP-Large got room for my shoulders and chest but often found when trying different denim shirts from IH that then you get too much length with the SP-Large...

But yeah everyone just needs to find the perfect measurements that fit them right.

@Alex If there is a restock of this before the 21oz black untucked then I might have to get one. The untucked has peaked my interest.

Recommend this brand. I've had Red Wing Moc toes from 2015 and during the years it just started eating up laces. The problem stopped after purchasing Pisgah Laces. The Purist Brown colour also goes really well with the Briar Oil Slick.

Edit: Tough to find in Europe though. Red Wing Berlin had these in stock inside EU.

I have been very happy with my purchase even though I originally wanted the OD.

@FireGX Yeah I think this is quite important. What I've learned is that vague descriptions usually mean that it is not only just cotton and or wool but a blend of other things as well.
For most jacket linings this usually isn't a problem for me because the blanket lining or sleeves never touch the skin due to layering.

Some other brands though when they make wool shirts... If they are not actually wool or cotton as described... Stitching doesn't count for me

This could be a must have for me personally. I got bit by the IH bug some time ago after getting the IH-9526PJ and I love how the 21oz feels.
Also had to get the indigo CPO from the SelfEdge collab, because I wanted a western. I love the CPO, because after the breaking in period it is way more forgiving on my forearms than the 295-BB (which I had to sell due the sleeves just being way too tight around my forearms). So lacking a black shirt
I think the work cut could maybe work better for me + the 21oz + pockets. So now I am thinking: CPO + 21oz + Work Shirt = Yes please.
I know there's no point to document any progress for a non-fade but I am looking forward to seeing some more pics of the sample if possible!

@neph93 Thanks for your reply. I did actually start thinking that I could be over-estimating it's size. Being quite tall might also help. But you said it. Perhaps I'll wait and see if a local retailer picks up one of the whipcord ones that are coming out this fall.

I have been on the hunt for the perfect waist bag for ages and ever since I saw IHE-37-BLK I just can't stop thinking how a slightly smaller version would be absolute perfection.
The only reason I haven't bought it is because of it's size. I would prefer a smaller version. I wonder if anyone ever suggested this. Because IHE-37-BLK even though it's listed as a waist bag looks to me like it's more of an ''shoulder bag'' in terms of it's size. All about preferences I guess.
