        Received an vintage 5Brother flannel from @Megatron1505 .
        One impressing detail: A collar stay. The stays ensure that the collar lies flat against the collarbone, looking crisp and remaining in the correct place. But they are plastic and not removable.

        Can you do a prototype shirt with pockets on the underside of the shirt.
        If that works, everybody can decide on his own, to put strips such as brass, ssteel, mother of pearl or nothing in the pockets.

          Not sure if this is the right thread for this but here is a suggestion for the forum…. in buying and selling how about an "interest check" designated thread?  that way people can just type in a couple of quick lines about an item without going through an entire sale thread set up, then if theres no interest we don't need to go to the trouble.  that way the actual sale thread wouldn't get clogged with stuff that isn't technically for sale yet.

            Great site, great product & faultless customer service.

            Ok, enough toadying.  😛

            Not so much an improvement, more a suggestion. Bring a couple of products out of extinction every now and again. Then stand by & watch the feeding fenzy!

            Thanks.

              That's a little too cynical for me I am afraid.  With very few exceptions, extinct is extinct…..

                My apologies. I was in no way implying anyone would get any enjoyment watching people scrap for extinct items. A poor use of metaphor on my behalf.

                Let me re-phrase. It would be nice for extinct items to become available ever now and then. Especially in the shirting department.

                Thanks.

                  UHRs, UHFs, blanket-lined denim shooting jackets… Stick around for a while, No.88, and you'll see it happens often enough.

                  Edit: Resurrections with slight modifications, and improvements, happens with shirting, too. Heavy, black denim westerns that fade; heavy, black denim westerns that don't; lightweight, herringbone, "crinkly" flannels; multitude of chambrays; blue oxfords, etc.

                    What about a "Deal of the month"?
                    You could offer a little discount for an extant product for some days in every month. Maybe more people will finally pull the trigger for an item they wanted for so long + you could catch some new customers.

                      ^ This is a good idea, especially on items that people would consider "Iron Heart Basics", or the must items you must own, jeans, denim shirts, type III's, chambrays etc….

                        I think a "Deal of the Month" on IH Extant staples is a great idea, too.

                                88.  I knew what you meant, sorry my answer must have been vague.  The issue is that (some) people buy an endangered item because it is endangered, it is released in limited numbers and will be gone when its gone.  Those people get really pissed off when they have spent ages tracking down an extinct item on the secondary market and then I release effectively the same thing.

                                So, in the main, I try and keep extinct as extinct.  I have "phoenixed" the odd item, but I really try not to.

                                  Deal of the month.  Let me think about this.  I have to consider the impact it has on my retailers…..

                                    To start off.  I absolutely love Ih flannels and have a serious addiction for them as the fabric is typically the best.  Cut and styling is perfect most of the time.

                                    The only thing I could nit pick on, and am actually kind of surprised doesn't happen more with the Japanese ideal of perfection.  But it would be nice if the pattern matched  (aligned)  better on the side seams of flannels.  I realize there may be a bit more fabric loss, but when the patterns match (aligned) it looks so much better.  Funny enough my mom sews quite a bit and thats the first thing she commented on when seeing IH flannels; especially when hearing the price of them.  I may be in the minority with my OCD on this; but it would be the final level of perfection on otherwise close to perfect shirts.  Especially if IH will be producing more flannels as it sounds like.

                                      Are you able to add an option to the website to flip the displayed currency. Depending on IP I guess, you sometimes show me USD. I would prefer to select GBP !

                                      Thanks.

                                          But you can already choose between the three currencies ($, € and £) on the site, the buttons are above the sizing drop-menue left to the item's price.

                                          Edit: Ooops, seconds too late ;D.
