        I agree 100%. I also hate when the different fits all look the exact-fecking-same-skinny-jegging fit.

        That's why I get annoyed when someone asks "I'm a 34 in IH-666S, should I get 33 in IH-634S for the same fit".

        AAAAARRRRHHHHHGGGGGG.  They were lovingly and painstakingly designed over months to be different cuts.

          ^I get and got negative comments about my clothes being to wide / loose on the Internet…but I enjoy wearing them. Too tight fits move to the bottom of the closet very quickly.

          That's key, one's own enjoyment. (After all, I'm not cruising, I'm living.) With men's suiting, on the other hand, I get it that close fit is the goal, and a well-fitting suit will not feel like a bathrobe when properly fitted and worn.

          Methinks we're at the bottom of a fashion cycle on the must-be-skin-tight look. At some point the jeggings are going to look as dated as the Duran Duran cinched baggies of the '80s.

            Giles' post makes me realise that I managed to annoy him with my last PM a while ago. So sorry. Won't do it again.

            And as far as fits are concerned, each to his own. My coming of (denim) age was at a time when jeans couldn't be tight enough, you had to perform all manner of contortions to get them buttoned, and if you wore one size larger, you weren't cool. "Fashion" has since changed to baggy and extremely baggy to slim again and back, I keep wearing my jeans seriously tight, as for me the pleasure of wearing good denim is more in the feel than in the look, and have received my portion of flak for it. Nothing that can be done about that, and how boring it would all be if we looked all the same…..

            Keep your jeans on–-and let nothing come in between you and the denim !

              Well let's not make any rash decisions…

                    This is how it can be:  http://www.ironheart.co.uk/shirting/ihsh-62-ind.html

                    Note the model isn't suffering constrictive hypoxia, no buttons straining, no horizontal lines. Shirt looks comfortable.

                      I think I might be an offender, asking similar questions. My sincere and humble apologies, Giles and rest.

                      Actually, it appears that my outspokeness about likes and dislikes is a turnoff to a majority of the people here. So I apologize for that, too. I sincerely don't meant to be a prick.

                        I was not actually pointing the finger at anyone and it's up to you what you do with your stuff,  It's your stuff after all. I was just stating my view which has no more validity than anyone elses.

                        Outspokenness is good and I certainly can't think of anything that you have posted which has been offensive or annoying - and I read every post (except in the buying and selling section) on this forum…

                        So keep it up....

                          The 86 is the first IH shirt I haven't been thoroughly impressed with. Fit and pattern is fine, but there's just something that makes it feel like an "ordinary flannel".. USD 180 was a good price though!

                            Perfect place for that opinion. Really? Is that based on the blue? The fit and color on the green 86 is damn near perfect IMO.

                                        I have no problem with human extinction. Let's not pretend we're all that special in the grand scheme of the universe. I read somewhere recently that the nearest galaxy like ours, is 2,000,000 light years away. Space is so big. We are so small. Human extinction wouldn't matter.

                                          Outside of the grand scheme things human extinction would matter to me. Why I'd take it personally, being a human and all.

                                            Horrible news story locally here , police found an abandoned car on a rural road and there was a dead 8 yr old girl in the boot (trunk) . mother was arrested later and charged with murder .
