IHSH-293-OD - 18oz Vintage Selvedge Denim CPO Shirt - Indigo Overdyed Black

[Autorotate]

@pechelman i agree with your take on the fit. I’m L in everything. I plan to wear mine as a shirt over a T-shirt. Or as it softens more (it is soft already) no T. The arms are very slim compared to every other IH large sized shirt I own, which surprised me… but otherwise, it is an amazing shirt! So soft and smooth. An XL would’ve been a perfect layering shirt, and no doubt given my arms more room, but not what I was looking for. FWIW, I’m 5’7”, 170. Bigger shoulders and chest from exercise.

Thanks, @Autorotate . I agree on the softness too. The comments above about heavy linen also match my experience. Really like the slim sleeves on this one, that was one thing that caught my eye on the chart compared to some other CPOs which seem to be cut more for layering. If anything, this one has me doubting I should have sized down to large in the new cpo moleskin. We're about the same, 5'9 and 175.

That fit is excellent @pechelman. You’d be swimming in a size up, especially in shoulder width. It’s a keeper and it keeps getting better and better.

@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.

@pechelman Love the fit, and the lighting in that second photo really brings out the unique qualities of the OD.

[pechelman]

Thanks everyone!
Guess it's the heaviness and stiffness I need to get used to. Feels snug around the mid section when I sit but in reality it's the same as some of my other favorite shirts.

Another fit question. This is my first IH shirt. Snug in the shoulder. The rest is ok but can’t wear anything more than a tee shirt. This is a medium. Should I size up?

@Zinc2162 looks good! If you wanna use it as a overshirt then size up. If you wanna wear it as a regular shirt you’re good.

perfect fit

[singletrack]

@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.

@Zinc2162

Stick with the medium.

[T4920]

Looks perfect to me. It'll stretch out a little too

[Zinc2162]

Thanks everyone’s feedback! I am keeping the medium.

excellent choice @SamD

Thanks, never knew how much I needed pockets on a shirt until now!

[Daniel San]

the 292 was not enough just ordered this killer shirt too

[Crease]

Have to have them both! Been wearing my 293-OD and just got in trouble for turning the white granite countertops in our house blue

[Fades for future]

You won't regret having both... Got the 292 last year and bought the 293 last month... Amazing shirts

First in the large size for me, all other tops are medium. The hint in the sizing section was indeed spot on. The fabric is stunning, and I can't imagine how it will actually develop - so many shades should appear.
Somewhere I have seen people claiming that the OD stuff does not bleed. Thats not seem to be my experience. It does bleed but on a different scale compared to just Indigo.
