Thanks y’all. Ha yep had to through the birks on. @Joberwocky  If you pick up a pair I’d recommend the soft foot bed for sure. Super comfortable out the box.

On the money. Hopefully they’ll help get some of this yard work done this weekend.

Been 90+ During the day all week with high humidity. Just spent an hour reading over sizing advice for overalls  ???  Sent Chesson and email to confirm. See you’ll next week!

I’ve been pretty obsessed with engineer boots for the last year or so, but always worried that it would look to try hard or costumey, but my gf finally talked me into giving them a shot. But sometimes  you just can’t make a decision on color. Ironhheart natural Essex 8.5d and standard & strange natural cxl 8.5e. In al honesty I didn’t even realize the ironhearts were d width when I ordered them. But I measure closer to C width so it seemed to work out for the intended use. Essex for work and going out, cxl for rain, snow, yard work. I’ll have to stretch the instep on the Essex a bit but with now soft the leather is I don’t think it’ll be an issue.

Edit. Instep is an issue I’ll be exchanging for a 8.5e.

Been replcing jackets that have  got to small for me just browsing eBay and this popped up. first white jacket I’ve ever owned, sold on it for sure.

@Giles:

That is a stellar fit….

@Appfaff:

Yep, that’s an absolutely ideal fit right there!

Thanks! Feels even better after wearing it around tonight. It’s a medium I’m 5’8-9 168lbs.

Got delivered yesterday along with blanket lined CPO ( IHSH-252-IND ) both in medium. I’ve put on about 15lbs in the last few months and went up a pant size so my other jackets were pretty tight. Thinking this fits pretty well for now, and should fit even better once i lose some of the weight. The 14.7oz is pretty breathable was 60 heat today and felt great over a tshirt.  Excited to see how this ends up looking in a couple months.

Yes shirting sorry. Glad to hear there will be plenty to choose from, looking forward to grabbing a few.

Some lightweight options < 6 oz would be awesome for layering and summertime.

IHSH-178 first wear today.

I wasn’t really sure what expect fabric wise even after reading the previous 14 pages. Much softer then I imagined it would be. Color is absolutely amazing in person, surprising difficult to photograph with indoor lighting though. Fits good overall a warm soak will make it about perfect I think. Going to be great for morning pup walks and layering. Excited to have this piece to choose from in the mornings.

Thanks! That looks pretty cool. I’ll keep that in mind, Im also an elbow leaner.

@crystal kidney  got one incoming, could you share pic of the elbow patches ?

@matwllms If your in the US you could shoot Self Edge am email and see if any other the sleeves came out a bit long. Looks like they’ve got 2 smalls.

@tflo8669:

@Penny_pants Thanks for the info.  You might have just convinced me to pull the trigger on the 301s.

Incase you needed anymore convincing 

Breaking in the 8301S at the arboretum today.

@matt great seller. Got item shipped same day! fits perfect!!! IHSH-16

So this is my first cpo shirt, and seems like I’ll likely never need another one. Probably a bit slimmer then some would  prefer but I prefer the smaller size normally aslong as it’s comfortable and there’s no drastic pulling. Much heavier then I expected , which seems to be the trend for everything I’ve bought from IH. Entire thing is superb  from the color, stitching , buttons, but you’ll already know that of course. Can’t wait for everything to start getting some character and fading.

Thanks neph. The rise is a little lower then I’m used to but they fit well overall. I may give the 555 a try at some point also.
