Any of yall noticing this shirt shrinks after washing?
I have washed mine a couple times now doing only a cold wash, no spin, hang dry and I have primarily lost length in the shirt. Almost 1.5” to be exact which is a little concerning as it is almost too short now.
@jonatahncoll same here, it keeps getting pushed back a month. I don’t know if I can take this much longer lol
Any ideas on timeframe of when these will drop? I did not see a product page for these up yet.
@meatmarketdenim1 are you sure that Selfedge is stocking this CPO? I believe the stock list was updated and Selfedge did not stock them. There is nothing online either. Maybe I am remembering wrong and the stock list is incomplete. Either way, nothing a simple call to them could answer.
The brown red 3oz seersucker looks right up my alley. Need a summer light weight shirt that is something other then indigo lol
I have been patiently waiting for these to drop along with the OD ones. Should be coming soon hopefully. Originally they were slated for July and now August.
Where you cuff them will wear faster but that seems excessive after only 30 wears. When wearing them with your vans, do they drag on the ground when walking? This is my only thought.
I am an 11.5d brannock and wear an 11d in the engineers. It was a struggle to get my feet in as well till they broke in. Even before they were broken in, they outside of the struggle to get my foot in, they were perfect and the most comfortable boots I own. If I had size down a full size, I would have never been able to get my feet in.
@michael.rose0107 I am the same way as you in wanting to build up some short sleeve summer wear. While it is not a short sleeve, I do primarily wear it with the sleeves rolled up and I find it breaths pretty well. Look into finding the cotton linen shirt IHSH-443-IND. it is one of my favorites to wear when it is hot and I feel it is better wearing in the hot summers we get here in Texas. Won’t be long before we are seeing weather above 100 consistently for the next couple months.
@michael.rose0107 this fabric is pretty heavy in general I feel. I am in San Antonio and if I have to spend a lot of time outside during the summer, I wear something different. This is wearing mine without an undershirt as well.
This is still an amazing shirt and I wear mine to the office often. I just do not spend much time outside wearing it.
Thought I would post some updates. Roughly 30ish wears and 1 wash. You can see the fading starting to come through around seams and edges.
Do these shorts stretch at all or is it closer to a khaki/denim material? 13.5” thigh is a tight fit on the xl.
Well decided to go ahead and pick one up now instead of waiting for the next time these come around. Have one on the way from self edge which is pretty close to me.
@goosehd yep I fully understand that. I guess I am just trying to get a gauge on timing and how their process might affect it.
For instance, if I pass this time around on a shirt because most likely it will be restocked in the next year to year and a half, I am fine with that. But if it may take say double and we are looking at 2-3 years, I may just go ahead and buy as I do not feel like waiting that long. I also know that not everything goes as planned and some arrive sooner then planned while other take longer then planned.
Was not sure where to put this question but for your staple/core restocks.
When a restock hits, does it automatically go back into the queue for the next restock since it takes a while? Or is there usually a period of time say a couple of months before the order is put in for the next restock?
Also, it seems like the average time between restocks for core items is around 1-1.5years give or take some time?
Just trying to decide if I am going to buy the kersey shirt and save it for when I am ready to work on it or just wait till next time it comes around lol. I alsready have a couple of denim CPOs I should be working on once it cools down.
As nice and as popular as this fabric is, has there ever been a plan to do this in a CPO?
Hi Richard here.
This is somewhat over due as I am new to iron heart.
Earlier this year, I decided to redo my wardrobe to focus more on quality than quantity. I am usually the type of person who researches for months before doing anything. Well my research led me here and I have now started replacing a good chunk of my clothes.
Being that I am from San Antonio, Tx, I do have to put up with our overly hot and dry summers where we are consistently above 100 degrees. I am lucky though that I do have a pretty lax dress code at work and that is where most of my wear comes from except for the lighter pieces I can possibly wear with shorts.
In my short time on this site I have the following items that I have either bought direct from IHUK or gone into a self edge store to try on before buying.
I think I am pretty much done for shirts for the year as I really do not need anything more heavy as we really do not get cold or long winters.
I am planning on picking up the following jeans though to replace my 633s and finish my rotation.
Other then that I will just be on the lookout for spring summer releases/ restocks that are on the lighter weight and can possibly be worn with shorts on the weekends. I do not foresee picking up any more CPO type shirts as I have a couple that I need to work on lol.
Excited to be apart of this community.
@Richard I don’t mind double denim is there is a noticeable difference. For me one or the other needs to be pretty faded to create the contrast. All my jeans look pretty much new lol as I am not hard on them. I usually only wear jeans to the office for a white collar type job. I sit at a desk most the day.
Decided I needed a pair of black jeans and picked up a pair today. This is my first pair of jeans in the 21oz denim and they do not disappoint.
Given I got rid of all my older pairs of jeans and am currently working on a pair of 18oz denim, this sbg pair will allow me to wear most of my indigo shirts as it gives me contrast. My 18oz indigo jeans are not showing signs of fading yet to have enough contrast with my shirts.
Just my own opinion but I cannot stand to wear a same color top and jeans that almost look the same color even if the texture is different. That is just me though lol.
Was in a self edge store today to get a pair of 888s-sbg and came home with this shirt as well after I felt the fabric and tried it on. Will be a perfect shirt to wear to the office. It is going in the rotation.
