Fair enough. Does one style sell better than the other? Or is it more dependent on the fabric?

Very interesting. I was sure/expecting there was a conscious intent to evoke the US styled jingoism that cowboys and indians is known for bring about. @G, I wonder if you love for Western clothing comes from a childhood of watching westerns?
Thanks for being such an open and friendly bunch. I was expecting slightly aggressive replies, due to the nature of questioning direct aspects of the brand. Nothing like it in the world, #respect.
The insight into your working relationship is quite beautiful in its simplicity G
I agree, it's really amazing how something that could be so complicated is stripped to it's most pure form.
What I've learnt is that I'm going to have to try these snaps out, thank you :).

I really don't find anything particularly western (cowboy theme) about IH. Maybe more of a 30s-70s workwear aesthetic if anything. For the most part IH is just regular clothing made extremely well with ultra high quality fabric. Sure there are some peices that may look kinda vintagey, but I can wear all IH and most people won't even know that I have nice shit on, which is what I love about IH. And I don't ever feel like I just walked out of a cowboy movie.

Unpacking winter wardrobe and my wife laughs every time I put this jacket on. Is it really that bad?

Um, you should probably listen to your wife…

Does anyone use "What App?" It's a messaging app available for just about all smartphones, which allows you to send text, picture and video messages for free, even internationally, by using wifi or your phones existing data. I thought it sounded perfect for me for the NY trip, but not if no-one else uses it.

For some balance on the snaps vs buttons thing:
Snaps on shirts are quite a modern invention, they were [arguably] introduce by Wrangler in the mid 30's for rodeo riders so they wouldn't get hooked up by their buttons. They didn't really gain traction until after the War, so I think we can safely say that anyone who would have been considered a "proper Cowboy" would have had a button shirt.
Buttons work better with heavy weight materials than snaps do, would you want snaps to fasten your jean flys and try fastening a heavy leather jacket like an Aero with snaps only?
