      The whole TW thing leaves me stupefied.  It is designed by the same people as IH and it is made by the same people who make IH.  If it had an IH tag on it, I would not be able to stock enough of it.  The TWSH-02 is imo one of the best shirts to come out of The Works.  It is not a lesser brand, it is not a cheaper brand, it is not a poor relation, it has a slightly different concept.  I am glad that more people are beginning to understand this, otherwise they would be missing out.

        The only reason I can think of is on a subconscious level the thought is "that it's not as heavy so it can't be as good."

        It also explains why once we sample 1 shirt we realize that it was prejudice and come back for 2nds and 3rds :).

        I'm loving all 3 of my TWSH shirts, with TWSH-09 being my most-worn shirt during the week.

          The only thing I don't like about the TW shirts is the pockets. Can't get past that

            ^when wearing you don't even notice the "different" pockets…the only thing I know is that the left chest pocket is iPhone 5 compatible. a big plus in my book (at least for those guys that don't like to wear their phone in the pockets!)...

            took me a certain while to really understand this and to learn to appreciate it in its full glory…yesterday was the first time I actually was able to handle some TW shirts in person...the feeling was just unbelievable and way more than what I would have expected!
            may sounds a bit weird after reading your statement again Giles, I know,  but I think the guys that haven't ordered any of the shirts yet, because of whatever reason that is, they really need to check them out in person to fully enjoy the fabric and all the little details that comes with a TWSH!

            also slipped into the IHSH-46(my actual grail business shirt), but in the end i went with the TWSH-01...I think that's saying enough about their quality and what not!...

                  TW shirts are nice shirts!!! The different pocketsize was something I did not like, but it looks like they fixed it. The "new direction" was the right choice 🙂 My TWSH-10 is so hyper-nice!!!

                    TW was always going to be experimental…..Some experiments work some don't, but a) beauty is in the eye of the beholder, b) Many work shirts from the 1800 and 1900's had asymmetric pockets, c) One size/design/concept does not fit/suit all, that does not mean it is wrong.  Look at the endless discussions about T-shirt sizing, what we do at the moment fits some people, but the people who they do not fit bitch about it, if we changed the sizing to suit the bitchers, the other half would start bitching.

                      True that!…keep experimenting!...and live with such statements. Criticism is not always a bad thing as long as it is not personally!

                        Andi, I don't take it personally, fear not.  Just trying to explain what we try to do and that it is impossible to please all the people all the time.  As long as we get it right more than we get it wrong, then all is good…..

                          Are you saying we're all bitches? Or all bitchers?

                          Fair enough either way I guess…

                                            I've got nothing but love for my TW gear. My TWS-07 and 09 are amazing. Keep it coming G.

                                            Snowy has a good point. Maybe people associate lighter weight with lesser quality. I don't. but I can see how someone might make that connection.

                                            Gav has a good point too. My TWXB01 are my go-to summertime jeans.
