      To me, tucking is only needed when wearing a suit.

                  scary thing is I have been experimenting

                  have a stack of EG shirts and they are all long in the tail so tried the tuck . . . nearly convinced myself it looked ok

                        I quite often tuck my shirt tails, it depends on what else I'm wearing. Sometimes its just plain wrong to leave your shirt tails flapping  :-\

                            Since I'm neither, I feel safe going untucked, though I will concede that I have few shirts that are too long and rarely get worn due to this philosophy.  Perhaps I'll follow Katsushin's lead and visit my tailor.

                              Here comes a silly question, but I couldn't find the answer (as I'm in a hurry I may yet have overlooked it). Do the IH arcs have any special meaning? And what about the red "W" (or is it a "B")? Thank you for enlightening me…
                              Cheers!

                                I think the W stands for 'Works', as in the original name of the production place where IH jeans are manufactured…

                                    It might not be entirely correct though…

                                    I càn state though that the embroidered W is the nicest tag/ detail for a brand I've ever come across...

                                      The W/M is either W for Works Inc (harakis umbrella brand) or M for Motorcycle - take your pick.  No significance to the arcs….

                                          Really?! I always thought it stood for "IH" after seeing this once. (not sure what the Japanese means though)

                                          Guess it was made up?  :o

                                            well, then that's your interpretation of it (and a nice one, too). Same with Levi's arcs, some claim that they symbolize a mountain eagle, but there are no real notes from the time due to the fire at the office in the early 20th century.
