Wore mine today and I love it. The fabric is different from other sashiko pieces I own. This feels sturdier and less flimsy even though the fabric weights are similar. Was breezy and cool out (mid 40s F) and it kept me comfortably warm with just a tee underneath. As others have stated, the body length is shorter than other IH CPOs. Still works for me but if you are thinking about buying this definitely check the measurements for length if that is a concern for you. There is greater potential for showing butt crack if you lean over and are wearing low/mid rise jeans. I like to layer this over an untucked tee, so if you like to do the same this works best with some shorter length tees (e.g Warehouse 4601) if you don't want the undershirt to stick out past the hem of the CPO.

@flannel-slut Thanks! Not sure how I missed this. I just kept seeing stuff for the western version.

RE: IH-555S-SBG - 21oz Selvedge Denim Super Slim Cut Jeans - SBG
Had been putting off getting a pair of these and couldn't stand waiting anymore so grabbed a pair from Rivet and Hide which still had my size. So glad that I did. They fit perfectly and are soft as hell right out of the bag. I own the indigo 555 21oz and those are the best fitting jeans I've ever had. Was hoping to get a similar fit out of these and it seems that I have. Couldn't be happier.

Right on @Nobunaga , I've been looking to do a pearl snap swap
Definitely do it! They're beautiful and they bring the bling level up a notch.

RE: IHSH-379-RED - Ultra Heavy Flannel Ombré Check Work Shirt - Red
@Karol I just picked one up a few weeks ago. Did you notice any shrinkage when washing it? I've seen this labeled as "One Wash" some places and other places don't say. The tag on it said to expect some shrinkage. Was wondering what to expect when I eventually wash it. I'm more concerned about the body length shrinking rather than the width.

@Karol Thanks! Sounds like any shrinkage (if any) isn't really noticeable and is probably minimal. Good to know. Now I just have to put the work into it and see how it fades.

Which stockists will be carrying this shirt? Is it the same as the list for the western version?

Initially dismissed this but the work shirt is too irresistible. Gonna have to grab one at some point.
