IHSH-437-IND - 13.5oz Dobby Cloth CPO Shirt - Indigo

The Iron Heart IHSH-437-IND CPO Shirt is cut from a 13.5oz dobby cloth woven from 100% Mexican cotton, a first for Iron Heart and a material choice that pays off immediately in the hand. The long-fibre Mexican cotton yarns produce a thicker, heftier thread that adds significant weight to the dobby weave, making this shirt feel far more substantial than 13.5oz would suggest. Dobby weaving, a technique dating to the mid-1800s, manipulates the yarns during the weave to create a thick, heavily textured geometric surface, and because that surface exposes more edges than a twill or plain weave, the indigo rope-dyed warp and weft will fade with a high-contrast clarity that highlights the intricate texture beneath. Heavy-duty black snap fastenings, flap-down chest pockets, handwarmer pockets, tonal stitching, and red internal bobbin thread for a quiet pop of color round out a shirt that works just as well as a lightweight jacket through the warmer months.

Fit Notes: Tommy wears an XL in almost all shirting from Iron Heart. The CPO has a roomier fit than the Western, more similar to the Work Shirt, so we could have stuck with a large in this...but the XL felt better. We recommend sticking with the size you buy in their Western. If you don't know that size, go up at least once from what you normally wear. Tommy is 5'9," 165lbs with a 41" chest.
