IHSH-252-IND - 14.7oz Eco Selvedge Denim Blanket Lined CPO Shirt - Indigo

[T.J.]

Thanks @Paul9221
No WESCO Slippers 
This are some lambskin Houseshoes I bought at a Christmas Market a few years ago ..

So there's another Smithsonian Air and Space Museum in VA.  This one is way cooler than the one in DC….

Here we are looking at an android.  AN ANDROID!!!!

[Matt]

An F-14 Tomcat that is credited with one MiG kill…

SR-71 Blackbird, or the Cobra Night Raven if you're in the know…

Le Concord…

And this adorable little baby plane.  Probably for baby pilots…

Wow! Great stuff @Matt. Are you a suitable size for any of the items on our current world tours? Seems to me you’d be good at that.

[Matt]

I don’t think so.  That stuff usually runs on the larger side and I  think and I’m more towards the medium range.  We’re actually going to look at an Airstream next weekend so I may be starting a thread sooner rather than later.  Fingers crossed.

Fun Fact on the 252… when security at the museum tell you there’s no pocket knives allowed on the premises and your car is parked a mile away you can stash it in the inside pocket with no trouble after walking outside briefly to pretend you’re walking to the car.

Anyone put in a lot of wear and have any progress pics on these? I'm thinking of grabbing one with a Christmas gift card I was given from my parents. They commented that "All of the people in the product pictures look exactly like you from the neck down." and I said "It helps that basically my entire wardrobe is from them." 

[Paul9221]

It's a wonderful shirt but, due to my climate, I don't get to wear it often enough to make much progress in the fade department.  Still, I'd never sell it and highly recommend it.

Thanks! How much warmer is it than a comparable CPO without the blanket lining?

Oh, it's toasty for sure!  I'd say that it's just a little cooler than a 21oz type III over a UHF.  Just barely.

Oh man. You guys are definitely tempting me…

I just want to point out that there are still 2 XXLs and a few super small sizes of this very similar excellent shirt still in stock at IHUK. https://www.ironheart.co.uk/tops/shirts/ihsh-252-ind.html

I think that spitfiredealer’s shirt is a 71, isn’t it?

Could be? when I assume things I make an ass out of u and me 

[Lowlander]

In any case the buttons on this one are different! Thanks even so @Filthy! I'd like a CPO in my life and this one does looks very tempting. Though there's been talk of a new CPO in 19oz LHT coming up to replace the 177, which might be worth the wait too.

Yeah don't mind me, I'm a little off in the head

Spitfires is not the IHSH-252

[Matt]

All these pics of new blanket lined shirts inspired me to break out this monster.  I love this one.

I bought this one a few months ago, but this is the first time I'm actually wearing it. I cannot believe how luxurious this shirt is–from the selvedge details on the sleeves, to the hidden pocket on the inside, as well as the thick blanket lining. I love it!

For some reason, my shirt doesn't have the "up side down V" stitched on the bottom of the placket, which I think ought to be there. Oh well.

Also, the shirt is just a little tight, which makes me regret not sizing up. I should be OK though--just need to be careful with washing...
