21oz Sashiko work shirt, duck hunter cargo pants and Nick’s Urban Loggers

It’s cold enough to wear the N1 today.

Also wearing the black wabash CPO and Duck 666s.

Wife and I are right outside of Asheville, NC, pretty much on top of a mountain. The last pic is when we leave our neighborhood and the view of the town below.

6’0 tall/175 lbs and I ordered an XXL.

With all my 21oz jackets, I size up to layer with heavyweight hoodies. I’m wearing a t-shirt, 14oz American Giant zip up and then the jacket. The roomy sleeves are perfect for a thick hoodie and I still have full swing on the arms and can button it up all the way.

This is a solid jacket, and I’m stoked I grabbed it when it came online for purchase.

Side note: it’s supposed to be 70 degrees this coming week, so it won’t get too much use.

Also pictured is the 17 oz Duck 634s.

This goes well with the Nike SB Dunks Hailey Wilsons that dropped earlier this year!

@sabergirl , with the price being paid for these garments: Yes.

I have a second job in retail, and see all kinds of nonsense from Levis. When paying literally tenfold for an IH shirt, you have expectations. Mine has the pocket misalignment issue, but not to the point where it slows me down from tossing it on, but I can see where it would upset others.

I had to sneak out of a courtroom to grab this.

I don't need another CPO, but if they make a fucking 21oz one, you bet your ass I'll have it in my collection.

@derek111 My wife won't fall for this. I just play dumb and say "shit, they're like Pokemon...gots to catch them all!"

I have to stop coming to the forum, my wallet is hating this.

I picked up a pair of these from DR awhile back and they get quite a bit of abuse. Being black/black, they don't really show any fading/creasing/whatever, but they do get nice and soft. The cargo placement is perfect, and encouraged me to pick up the Khaki and Olive variants as well.

@Denimminer, in my experience, OD products (shirts, jackets, pants) always run a little bit smaller than their non-OD counterparts. Not much, but there is a difference.

Measure twice, buy once.

@tvaillant75 , retailers for any item are listed in the thread on day of release. You may need to scroll through this thread to find the most recent list.

More likely than not, these are gone from everywhere.

I'm truly conflicted on the sizing with this.

I'm an XXL in all type 3s, XXL in Western and XL in work UHFs.

I'm looking at MAYBE an L in this piece. I aim for a 19.5 shoulder and a 23.5ish P2P.

Is this correct? Do these run THAT large?

@V-P , I've not experienced any marbling on the "vintage" denim.

@rimaarts said in IHSH-292-IND - 18oz Vintage Selvedge Denim CPO Shirt - Indigo:

2 more questions...

How about washing? Now I know iron heart says it shirt doesn't shrink but as far as I recall from reading trough here, it does shrink a bit... I'm more worried about width...

And also is those threads purely decorative so I can cut them off or if I eventually catch them on something I risk unravelling some seams?

Wash cold, no spin cycle, hang dry.

Unlike most here, I wash my denim frequently, and following this procedure I don't experience any shrink regardless of material.

@sabergirl , I can (and have) tried on multiple pairs of 501s in a size 34 X 32, and while most of them felt "similar", none of them fit the "same". To add, they all even came from the same shipment/truck/load. While there shouldn't be any QC issues on less expensive items, it's sadly something that I've seen as the norm.

When buying a very small batch item that costs ten fold, yes, I expect NEAR perfect qc.

Similar story: I work on cars for my main job, and had just wrapped up an install on a 2023 Corvette. I noticed the stitching was very wonky on the dash, and mistakenly pointed it out to the owner. He said "You have just ruined this car for me, as I'll NEVER be able to unsee that flaw". That's a six figure car, again, I'd expect near perfect QC at that price point.

Cliff notes: Pricing reflects QC expectations.

Edit: I have over two dozen IH shirts, including flannels, CPOs, work shirts, etc. Pretty much all of them are dead nuts perfect, and I expected that tradition to continue.

This "issue" will not deter me from continuing to support this brand which I love so dearly.

Mine has the pocket issue as well. It's minor and most folks will never notice.

With good wear and tear, it'll be forgotten as other fades/creases/wrinkles will distract from the chest area.
