        What, like some of the Spring/Summer 2016 flannels?

        Yep, exactly like that.

            A new cut similiar to the 633. Or an updated Beatle Busters-cut with slightly bigger thigh and smaller hem.

                Ooh, what would I like to see you make?

                Jeans with the same measurements that the IH-634-XHS have (I applaud the high rear rise and low front rise combo), but with a slightly narrower leg opening in the larger sizes and a lighter fabric than the 25oz. They could be worn as slightly dressier jeans than the 1955 cut, the only other high rear rise/roomy thigh jean you currently sell.

                I'm biased, as they have the room in the thigh and seat to suit my muscular lower body (thank you rugby, weightlifting and badminton!).  If I hadn't bought the 1995 cut or the IH-634-XHS  (I got the 1955S), I was literally out of jeans options unless I got them made to measure or tailored in oversized waists.  I lost about 6 hours in a huge shopping mall in the UK in November trying and failing to find any jeans that fit.  Slacks are easy to find as thighs have more room, they taper, and in 36inch waist it's normal to find a 11/17 front/rear rise combo. Shorts of mine I've measured also tend to have those rises.

                Thanks for listening, and keep up the good work!  🙂

                  If my above suggestion doesn't find favour, this would work too.  Especially if the rise in 36 waist is close to 11/17  😉 😉 😉

                      It's not about finding favour, it's about juggling what scarce resources we have; loom, time, production line time, H and the crew time, storage space and having a small enough range of products that ticks as many boxes as possible.  If I polled 100 people and asked them what cut do they think I should make, I'd get 101 answers.  I have to make some decisions on how to reduce that 101 into something a little more manageable….

                        Make what sells, mate, goes without saying.  I didn't mean find favour like "do me a favour", just if I was lucky the idea I liked made business sense.  There's lots of 'trendy' slim options going at the moment, but not a similarly styled alternative for the bigger boys who don't fit those.  Ideally other sporty/highly active/stocky people would have similar needs to me, but maybe I'm not a regular enough shape to demand a killer pair of jeans.  You're almost there with a few cuts, just trying like everyone else to nudge you in a certain direction.

                        By the way, how did the cut of the 634-XHS end up so much roomier in the seat/rear rise than the rest of the 634 family?

                          I did not know that it had, but if is has, then it will be Tom-san getting her "How will the 25oz fabric behave when made into jeans vis vis the 21oz denim" calculations wrong.  Shit happens…

                            Doesn't seem to be a bad thing judging by the 100+ pages in the thread for that pair, seemed pretty popular! Or perhaps you have to give a bit more room in those things when they're that thick and stiff..

                              I think 555 is the closest we're gonna get to a cigarette fit from IH. Unless Haraki san miraculously chooses to embrace elastane, Lycra, or spandex.

                                  Truthfully, I think an extra heavyweight stretch denim would be magical. But I imagine Iron Heart aren't going to be the brand to make it for me.

                                        Preaching to the choir, sister. Maybe someday. Or not. I'm pretty happy with my IH jeans.

                                            I would kill for a flannel, weave wouldn't matter but made of Merino Wool. I think that would be huge. Best wool you can get, don't need a layer or liner because it is so comfy and would be SUPER warm. Or a merino wool/cotton blend.

                                            Have to wonder how hard it is to make a merino wool thicker without losing its properties.

                                            I wear my merino wool long johns all winter and most of fall. Regulates heat with my body, doesn't just keep me warm. Super comfy and doesn't retain smells as much as cotton or man made fibers

                                            Melton wool is great wool for the main/shell but definitely need a liner due to it being itchy as hell.
