Hi,

I don't know if this has been posted previously as there doesn't seem to be a search function on this forum to verify.

I was looking through the shirts and the sizing charts in the online shop and have noticed a measurement that is glaringly missing - the collar/neck size.

I know this measurement is less important than say a dress shirt as most people would not button all the way to the top button as these are casual shirts, but I do think it would be useful to know this measurement among the different sizes & styles of shirts on offer.

Thanks

^ Good suggestion.

For some. For me, wouldn't even look at it

[Megatron1505]

Me neither, but "for some" is the key.

I think the fact that the collar measurements are only being brought up now demonstrates how few the "some" are. I'm sure time could be better spent elsewhere.

[Megatron1505]

Or maybe the some don't buy because of the lack of measurement? It takes about 5 seconds to measure a collar.

Do people actually button the top button on an IH shirt? Why would you?

All that matters is if the shirt fits your shoulders, chest, belly, and it's long enough.

[Megatron1505]

Honestly guys, I think the point here is not what you would do, or what I would do, it is what other people "might" do. The fact that someone cares enough to bring it up shows that someone cares, and the amount of time it takes to do it, surely means that it should at least be considered?

Point taken.

I fully intend to wear my triple works flannel with the throat latch done up!

[jacoavlu]

if you pm giles he will provide whatever specific measurement you ask

[rocket]

^true

and I do that as well, if I feel like…

[Megatron1505]

Takes longer for G to answer a PM, and measure a specific shirt than it would just to measure them in the first place when the other measurements are being done surely. Plus, Winchy needs more jobs 

[jacoavlu]

not true if he only gets asked once a year

Finally!  Someone focusing on what's important…

Haha poor Winchy… He's gonna be so deep in shit he'll need someone to... Winch(y) 'm out...

Is lowering the rise on jeans possible?

What is the difficulty/cost/time associated with it.

Mainly lowering the back rise, a little off the front would be nice too but mainly the back.

Is anyone local to SESF that can help a lowly forum member out? It would be greatly appreciated…. Pm me if you can
