      Then you should get it in both colours!  😉

      Dont push me, close Im close to the edge
      I'm trying not to lose my head
      Its like a jungle sometimes, makes me wonder
      How I keep from going under

        I woke up this morning and the first thing I thought about was this shirt, and I got this idea:

        cut and saw the bottom of the shirt so it looks like a jacket, not a shirt and you got the ultimate jacket.

        What do you powers that be think of this?

            if you guys want to experiment, I can send you back mine to use! I'd love to be participating, however modestly, in such an experiment

                    I don't want to speculate too much, but I imagine there'll be a restock in these before the season's over.

                          I can't restock what does not exist.  The ONLY way I will get any more is if I can force a run into an already maxed out factory - and I seriously do not know if that is possible…..G

                            I'd be curious to know more about the annual "industrial" capacity of the factory(ies) used to manufacture IH products:

                            pants: 634S, 634SR, other models
                            shirts
                            jackets

                            same question with TW

                            What are the most constraining factors:
                            lack of fabric deemed adequate for the IH high quality standards
                            lack of human resources to churn out products

                            How are those constraints addressed?
                            can looms be found and started or do those not exist any more and the modern ones are inadequate?
                            and how much does equipment cost to buy and operate
                            and how long does it take to train somebody to manufacture IH garment, are there shortages of qualified people and are other brands competing for skilled labor, etc…

                            questions questions
                            sorry to bug you Giles but those are very interesting (at least to me)

                                            I woke up this morning and the first thing I thought about was this shirt, and I got this idea:

                                            cut and saw the bottom of the shirt so it looks like a jacket, not a shirt and you got the ultimate jacket.

                                            What do you powers that be think of this?

                                            Not a fan of this. I love the "Short quality of this piece and fitted nature. And isn't the IHW-02 almost here? There is enough Melton Wool going on at the moment. Just my opinion…
