    No loops.

    Those are my principles, and if you don't like them…
    Well, I have others.

        What exactly bothers you with Loops? If you don't use them, leave them be, how can they irritate you? But the super stiff jacket are really hard to keep on a hanger without them.

        Also +1 on smaller arm openings on T-Shirts. The Sweatshirts are super tight, but the tees make averyone look like he never lifted any weights.

          Loops (especially on heavier items) causes undue strain at one or two (depending upon construction of the loop) small point.  Not good…

              How about a "show pictures only" function for every thread? This would be very convenient as one hadn't to browse through many pages just to see some fit pics.

                @BULLITT:

                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.

                I also think a second, inner button on shirts and/or jackets would be great and allow for different wrist sizes or tightness (some people just prefer a tighter fit).  I believe Visvim even does this with their denim jackets - not the greatest IH comparison, but can help avoid the blousy sleeve look that some denim jackets have.

                  On workshirts it's easy to add a button 🙂

                    I get the feeling we're going round in circles with this loop discussion.

                        A circle that is driven by the tension between the antipodes.
                        I like circles.
                        I like loops. 🙂
                        In the end I hope, we will ever see one IH gear with a loop in the next years.

                        And if H and G ever will event a loop, they can call it "The Antipodes"!
                        Perhaps then, stress to the garment will be accepted more easier. 😃
                        O.K. End of loop entry for a while….

                          Speaking of buttons… My ocd goes into overdrive when a shirt has all snaps and one button. I still don't get that... Especially because there doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to it. Some have one button, others are all snaps.

                            +1000. I'd love an IH t-shirt or twelve in my wardrobe but I look ridiculous in them because the sleeves are so massive.

                                  Smaller arms –-> Yes, good idea

                                        Longer sleeves for the Western UHF's in the future!
                                        The Workshirts are o.k., but the sleeve lenghts of the -130 and now the -101MC are very short in proportion to the other measurements of the respective sizes.
