            Possibly only in my mind 😃

              The only Japanese brand which comes to my mind offering multiple inseams is Resolute.
              They offer inseams from 28" tp 36" on nearly all waist sizes (see here http://resolute.jp/710.html).

              But then they only have 4 models at all so they can't compete with IH on the variety of cuts/models

                Wow, 8 lengths. That is going some. The long legged aren't well served, though, their longest comes in 1.5 inches below peak IH length.

                  And it is all unsanforized denim so it will shrink. But Resolute's main market is Japan and the guys&gals over there are shorter. The IH jeans for Japan are also shorter. Thanks to Giles you can enjoy those long inseams here on the Western market.

                    I'm in Thailand but we have the Western inseam lengths, and no obvious place to get the hem chainstitched here that I know.  A million tailors, but usually cheap and sloppy from my experience.

                        I sent them an email earlier today actually, I'm hoping they get back to me shortly. The staff member that served me said they couldn't chainstitch.  Maybe the word or my pronunciation eluded him, I don't know the Thai equivalent.  Or maybe that one store couldn't…

                        And thanks for the heads up, Giles. A happy coincidence a couple of hours after writing them a message 😃

                            according to Giles in random announcements it is slightly lighter than the standard 7.5oz loopwheeled materials, and will be available in S-L, and Xl & XXL with side seems.  The collar looked constructed differently than what is on my IHPT-01 and IHFT-2012, which is what I am most excited for and I love some melange (is that the right term???) style heathered tees.

                                  I doubt the side seems are meant for alteration, but simply to keep with the proportions in sync with the smaller sizes, that way a 24" chest on an XXL lopped wheeled tee doesn't have a 48" opening at the bottom. Loopedwheeled stuff is heard to do, I'm guessing that's why you see more loopwheeled sweat shirts than Tshirts - on sweats you can put a ribbed hem along the bottom and pull in the fabric, where as a tshirt is much more difficult.

                                    Giles explains the loopwheeling process here


                                    If you pick up the video at around 3:20, there's an explanation of sizing with loopwheel shirts and why they aren't bigger.  Though putting in a side seam allows them to be made wider, it does have constructional drawbacks.

                                    More general info about loopwheeling can be found here.

                                        Seeing as we are on the topic on t-shirts. Does anyone have recombinations for light weight T's. Off to the Caribbean in a few weeks, somehow I think my heavy weight 3sixteen along with IH T's aren't going to be doing me many favours in the heat.

                                          I just got some Lady White Co. Shipped to me today - I'm in the same boat - sold off my MFSC tees cause they were too snug and opted for the LWC as the more affordable approach.  I got both the 2-pack blue and black regular and a white Clark pocket tee - I'll let you know how they are!

                                            I don't find the 3Sixteen tees too heavy for warm weather.
                                            Lady White Co tees are good for warm weather, same with the Mister Freedom Stanley tees.
                                            But all that being said I still wear my Flat Head THC and Iron Heart loopwheeled tees in the Texas summer…
