SJ sashiko Townes with my UES double weave. Love this thing.

Finally got my 292. I was going back n forth on XL vs XXL up until final hour and went with XL for a more dialed fit. 6-2, 200lbs. I tend to always wear shirt under and layer. Really happy and love this classic. IH CPO's are the best design, fit, quality, detail...no CPO is complete without twill cuffs, collar, placket. ; )

When you buy the size too big, sometimes you just shift the plan and improvise for colder days.

16oz Sashiko Ori Indigo, but as you know this feels heavier that IH 21oz, and just more my style. I wish it was CPO style and had the lined placket + cuffs, but without a doubt one of my favorite pieces.

Picked up a Freenote Cloth Utility shirt in Khaki, always liked the design pocket and corozo buttons. 6-2 (200lbs) and Large is great. Typically XL or sometimes XXL in IH.

Day 1 with my new Superblack CPO. Definitely the most stiff and rigid 16oz I've ever witnessed. It will make the wear process in that much more rewarding. I'm 6-2, 196lbs, and often wear XXL and XL Iron Heart depending on the measurements and intent, and XL is perfect for this fit all around. Long journey ahead, and thanks for the inspiration.

Favorite new flannel (sorry IH) no wash or soak yet, but love the double fabrics on shoulders, and elbows down to cuffs. Great design, insane fabric.

I was on the fence with SHF, but now I'm a fan. Love how this is more of a washed black, and a bit more grey in the light (but still black)! 6-2 (196lbs) XXL.

Scored this one a while back and still my favorite UES flannel.

@CosmoSix5 happy birthday buddy

Kanoko Ai-Madara Natural Indigo × Brown Sashiko Work shirt

Looks good! How does the weight feel on this? Very cool color variation.

@Alex beautiful story.

@WhiskeySandwich They look great. What did you have to pay extra is duties or tariffs? How was that ordering direct?

totally missed it, and was even trying to pay attention. Oh well...more to come I'm sure.

Who would have thought another all blue denim shirt from IH would create this much buzz. All the photos look great and I'm genuinely excited to see the fades for you guys. I didn't get one, and only going off description / images, but in kinda reminds me of a tricotine (ues) baby brother. I could be wildly off though.

@Giles that my friend is beautiful, thanks for bringing me up to speed.

The 17oz duck "untucked" CPO is a cult classic for many reasons, and always made me wonder why not explore more "work" version CPO's? In this case and a few other examples the twill lining accents are the superior design and are more coveted. Excited for fall/winter '26. Cheers!

These are incredible. I wish they did more herringbone pants.

@weftyarn The slower natural fades and break ins are all the sweeter over time. Looks great!
