Cheers @Dust @endo absolutely love my 293 it’s starting to soften up lovely now it’s definitely my go to IH shirt.

Ok first ever post so be gentle. Delighted with my CPO shirt, I went for XXXL which is a perfect fit across shoulders (bit snug across the stomach) Just wondering if I should expect any ‘give’ once I’ve worn it for a few weeks? Even half an inch will mean I can do it up too

We’re all gentle here [emoji1]

It is a twill weave, so yes there will be a little stretch. The seams all relax a little and the shirt will loosen with use.

Looking to give my 293 it’s first soak in the tub is it likely to shrink?
Lukewarm water.

As with all overdyed products the OD process is so aggressive, it takes all the shrinkage out of the garment (and if we try to overdye products with overlocked seams, all the overlocked stitching too  - yeah we lost a whole batch of jeans once )

[Jcaz6996]

Cheers G
how many pairs in a batch ?

[Giles]

We lost a 100 pairs of jeans…..

Great choice. Two items in two weeks?!

888XHS are a gift from the wife. The 293 is an accumulation of bday $$$ and money made making a wedding dessert (coincidentally on my bday).

I also really want the Olive serge workshirt, but since they are out of XL at the moment I'm "settling" for this. The 292 was also in the running, but since i just got the XHS, I decided the OD was the most suitable choice.

Excellent. You deserve all the goodies mate.

The heavy denim CPO is such a classic Haraki-san piece. You won’t be dissappointed.

wow, what was I waiting for? Anyone who is on the fence, get on this side of it. yeesh. 
Special Thanks to @Chesson for measuring every XL in stock and hand selecting the one that worked best for me.

This OD version is so great out of the bag that my mind is blown with its heft and comfort. Sleeve length is perfect, shoulders sit just right to be able to layer if desired.

Allie's reaction when i first tried it on? "How is this different for your others?

Finally, I asked Naughty By Nature what their opinion was on it. They replied: "Who's down with 2-9-3? Yeah you know me!". so there's that.

Fekkin’ awesome fit @jordanscollected. And looks tremendous with the new jeans too.

[jordanscollected]

thank you Rueben. It means a lot coming from a fit stickler like yourself.

How are you doing IHSH-293-OD - 18oz Vintage Selvedge Denim CPO Shirt - Indigo Overdyed Black?

Hope you don’t!
Loved your post and I was missing some updates in here.
I own the IHSH-99 and so I am interested how this CPO is doing.
By the way, have you ever thought about how long it will take to receive the MRMF again?
