      @Jordonf9:

      Maybe throw in a "design contest" for a limited run, loopwheel shirt once a year or something to spark some creativity in the forum? 🙂

      nice idea!

        Yea, a printed tee. Would be cool as hell I think and I know you would get quite a few cool designs.

          Something I was thinking about today.  Basically any garment with a leather patch has the model number listed.  What about listing the model number somewhere on non-patched garments?  Namely shirts.  Could be just something simple like a small addition to the laundry tags currently sewn into the side-seams of shirts.

            I think it's great that most of the users round here can name the number of every shirt, so the number surely is more important and used than on other brands.

                      So far every top/jacket that I've bought has a tiny arm opening from the body. The item fits perfectly in shoulder/chest/biceps etc but super tight and pinches under my armpit. Any way of stretching this or maybe making them slightly (1cm or so at most) bigger on future releases?

                        I'd like to see a better "synergy" between, for instance, the ultra heavy flannels and the winter coats. As it is now I feel that the shoulder measurements on jackets are often smaller than on the shirts. Assuming most jackets are designed to be worn with only a tee underneath. To me, personally, I'd like to be able layer an ultra heavy flannel under a deck jacket without having to size up.

                        TL;DR - Slightly larger shoulder measurements and winter coats designed to be worn with more than a tee under!

                        Im with you

                            That's understandable G. But when you are at the big end of the spectrum like me, you cant size up to make it work. Either 3x fits or im screwed lol. The jackets should def be made a lil bigger then the shirts in the same size. Same with any of the lined shirts or shakets.

                              Arm openings on shirt sleeve shirts are crazy big. Want to order the stripey tees but would have to get them tapered. And I'm just too lazy for that in all honesty.

                                Speaking of sleeve opening, I often experience shirts & jackets to be a tad snug around the chest, so I have to size up.  But by doing so, the sleeves will also be longer (naturally).  However, sometimes I can still make it work, if I can close the sleeve opening tightly enough.

                                A suggestion:  For the future, would it be possible to have measurements of the sleeve openings at their smallest closure?  A sort of "hem" measurement for tops if you will.

                                    Thanks, @BULLITT BEE - I see no reason why we can't start including this extra measurement in our sizing charts.  In the meantime, if you need this measurement for any existing shirts just let us know.  I have exactly the same problem, and often move the button on the cuff of work shirts to get a tighter fit, but appreciate this isn't such a simple fix on western shirts.

                                      Yeah, I wish it was possible to relocate the snaps on a western shirt as well as move the buttons on say, a type III jacket.  But moving forward, knowing how big/small the sleeve openings are, would help give an idea whether or not I can make a specific size work before ordering.

                                        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.

                                        I like this motion (I simply prefer my collars staying nice and straight). Collar stay, especially on UHFs, would be epic.

                                            I'd love to put some metal stays in my UHFs. IMO, it just makes the entire look that much 'sharper'. Do you think this is a detail a good tailor can add? I obviously don't want to ruin my UHFs…
