IHSH-227-BLK - 12oz Wabash CPO Shirt - Black

The western-style CPO shirt is crafted from 12oz Japanese Wabash—a fabric steeped in the history of centuries-old workwear. To create an authentic Wabash, the warp and weft yarns are individually rope-dyed (a departure from traditional Wabash denim, which typically features a natural or white weft) before being woven into a sturdy twill. The signature pattern is then bleached into the fabric post-weave, enhancing the contrast between the dots and the base color. While the rope-dyed yarns are designed to fade and develop a rich patina over time, the Wabash dots remain bold and defined as the fabric ages.

Cut in a classic CPO style, this shirt has a slightly longer body than the standard western fit, with oversized copper snap fastenings and added side handwarmer pockets for extra functionality.

Fit Notes: Tommy decided to go with an XL in this piece. While it is the roomiest of the shirting fits, as it kind of doubles as a jacket, he still felt like the XL was the right call. If you want a trimmer fit, stick with your normal Iron Heart size. If you don't know your normal Iron Heart size, start with the next size up from whatever you're thinking and compare those size charts to real-life measurements of your best-fitting garment. Pay close attention to those size charts before making your final decision. Tommy is 5'10," 165lbs with a 40" chest.
