IHSH-381-OLV - 9oz Military Serge CPO Shirt - Olive

[caseyjonez]

@goosehd a little of both. Checked out reviews and measurements on a few sources. This particular item was rarely reviewed. Maybe an oddball. Did my homework and the cut was just considerably slim compared to most purchases, And was even slimmer than measurements stated. No slander just seemed like a fluke cut. I have dozens of IH pieces and love the accuracy typically but this was the only one ever to seem so off brand. No biggie just teying harder to do my due diligence going forward

Got this in April... occasionally worn over the summer.. 3 washes... travelling shirt for this summers US trip. Washed out unexpectedly and has a pleasant well worn look now

@Tobi looks awesome man!

[goosehd]

@Tobi Agreed!! Honestly didn’t know that there was that much potential for fading and evolution. I am pleasantly surprised and offer a big congrats to you for doing so!!

Serge is one of my favorite IH fabrics. My IHSH-162 has a similar faded look. Yours looks great @Tobi

@Tobi

@Tobi Nailed it with the copper snaps on this one.

And it looks even better now!

@Tobi dang I need to wash mine more lol that looks cozy af.

[Mister_Brue]

@Tobi Picked this one up at the party and got it upgraded with copper snaps because yours looks epic.

First wear today as we head off to the sun for three weeks. Lovely fabric.

[Tobi]

@Mister_Brue for me this is the perfect relaxed holiday shirt (except in a perfect world we would have chest pockets that fit mobile phones). ... Have fun in the sun! Will be stuck in Scandinavian winter for the time beeing...

@WhiskeySandwich that looks so good! Has it had many washes?

[WhiskeySandwich]

@DeeDee85 yeah really digging how its getting softer and fuzzier after a good amount of wear and about 4? washes. The seams have been puckering a bit and it's def getting some fades. I love me some serge, it seems to get fuzzier with age, whereas denim gets smoother.

@WhiskeySandwich thanks for the info, definitely made me consider this for the first time. Managed to track my size down too. It looks almost like moleskin!

[WhiskeySandwich]

@DeeDee85 the 9oz is so easy to wear. I turn this one to a jacket with a zip hoodie underneath usually. This fabric has a nice little bit of slub to it too. This shirt def reminds me of an old military throwback piece.

[Mister_Brue]

@WhiskeySandwich
Agreed, it feels very similar to an old army shirt I used to wear (when they were still decent fabric). It’s not often I look forward to washing a shirt.

@DeeDee85 Just started wearing mine for a bit of travelling. Highly recommended if you can get your hands on one.

@Mister_Brue thanks for the additional info
