            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  :-\

                cowboys tuck their shirts in
                workers tuck their shirts in

                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.

                                  Giles (or really to anyone that may know)

                                  if you know who this is (im assuming he works for IH), would it be possible to ask him what jacket he has under the vest? been looking for it or something similar. figured id ask on here.

                                  thanks.

                                    looks like a langlitz cascade with shoulder padding.

                                          I vote for no. If, at all, have it cut 😉 Maybe put up an actual pic so we can decide 😉
