@Mizmazzle Well, I'm about where you are. 25-26" (or 34" in a dress shirt) is my general sleeve length. I'll have to think on this one and see if we have someone local that I would trust to alter. Thanks for the quick reply!

@Mizmazzle What is your typical sleeve length?

I wear a L in virtually all of my IH shirts, so I'm thinking I want a L in this jacket. The sleeve length is pretty crazy, though. I have kinda long arms, so maybe the L will work. Even the Medium has a long sleeve length, but for me, a little too long is better than a sleeve that rides up when you reach across a table. Thanks!

That's a good fit, @Denimminer - my fit is very similar. I plan to wear mine over a T shirt, and I like having some room to move.

@CosmoSix5, I just misted mine heavily with water and threw it in the dryer. Hoping that all that tumbling will help with the stiffness...hah!

I missed out on the IH drop, but found a Large at a US retailer. Should be in the house by end of week to add to my black overdye CPO and black moleskin CPO!

Great looking shirt in the herringbone...might have to pull the trigger on this one.

A unique and interesting M65 variant....I just registered for an inventory notification!

I've already purchased the bright blue UHF work shirt, but I might be "forced" to pick this one up. I don't have many reds in my closet, despite a daunting tower of UHFs. The blue and green stripes on this one add a distinctive but subtle twist...very nice.

A beautiful bright blue....and in a work shirt. This is probably going to be UHF #10 for me...

Very nice! I have the indigo overdye CPO (which is fantastic), and the black moleskin CPO, so I'll probably sit this one out. Or maybe not...

My 21 oz. 888s in indigo are some of my favorites. Looking forward to the upcoming 21 oz. OD restock. Fall will be heading to Colorado soon!

Nice color to complement jeans. I've always eyed the full-zip hoodies but have never purchased one. This one will probably push me over the edge.

@Cskarev Nice fit...congratulations. I also have one in a size L, and I picked up the black moleskin CPO as well. I prefer the OD version, but the black provides a slightly better contrast with jeans. Enjoy!

@pechelman Agree...."relaxation" of the folds and creases of the 18 oz. fabric is probably a better way to describe what happens as you wear it in...

Looks good on you, @Bigdog. Glad to hear it's loosening a bit. Nice looking pup in your avatar, too.

@Zinc2162 I wear a large, and mine fits me pretty much the same way as the medium fits you. I think the medium looks good on you.

Some people like to layer a flannel under these, but that's not how I like to wear mine. I usually layer a colored tee shirt (mainly short sleeve) under mine and wear it like a heavy shirt, or unsnapped like a shirt-jacket. If the fit bothers you, you could size up, but bear in mind that there shouldn't be shrinkage in this garment due to the overdye process.

@pechelman I'm 5'10", 170-ish pounds, and I'm wearing a large. The forearms and cuffs are indeed trim fitting, but I like the fitted look. I think the fit looks good on you.

I don't plan on wearing anything more than a T shirt under mine. I'm in Colorado, so I wear it like a heavy shirt. The pockets pretty much disappear on this piece.

Looks great, @SaddleSC. Now there's at least two of these in Colorado!

@AdamJ said in IHSH-293-OD - 18oz Vintage Selvedge Denim CPO Shirt - Indigo Overdyed Black:

@pechelman the previous version was a little bigger in the body, such as chest and waist. Graham is off this week on vacation so I'll have him confirm next week when he's back.

The waist/opening runs pretty much straight down so the difference is minimal :OK_hand:

@AdamJ, looking forward to your followup on this. I have the prior (last year) version in a large, and I'm considering getting an XL for layering here in Colorado. If the body measurements are a bit slimmer on this re-stock, that would be great to know. Thanks in advance!

Thanks, @Giles and @Lowlander. I understand the minor fabric variations. You explained what I needed to know...thank you.
