    Even the in stock notification has notes and sizing request information that can be added. Most of us know what our ideal measurement is, so reconciliation of the two shouldn't be that difficult. Of course, I only brought this up because I'm waiting on 3 items to hit and have too little patience.

      @Max:

      +1 on keeping the numbers - I love metrics and think I could Name 90% of the Shirts by number. Plus, it's nice to be able to tell the difference between a 72, 109 and 127 instead of saying it's a red buffalo check.

      if the brand keeps growing I fear in a few years the number system might be a bit much. Iron Heart isn't currently as big as polo or lacoste but I see it getting to a point where they are going to just produce certain items all the time & ditch or modify the number system.  In my humble opinion the number system is great but as the brand & product range continues to grow it might get a bit crazy to keep up with.  For or against numbers is cool to know I guess, but let's look down the line & see if it's something that can or should be sustained .  . . .but then again what the heck IHSH 666 or IHSH 187 sounds pretty cool to me.

      at this point I'm just rambling like I do some early mornings, hahaahahaha

      no preorders, to much of a pain in the a$$ with folks changing their minds or getting cold feet & all that stuff.  back in the day we used to have a stack option, which was for all intents & purposes a preorder system. folks used to abuse the system & cause to much heart burn to the IHUK staff,  I like to give a hard time to IHUK but within certain confines, hahahahaha

        Eh, not all of my thoughts can be winners. A special "fuck off" to whomever loused up the stack option though. Like I said before, the idea just came from impatience and a bit of frugality.

          Pre-orders will not happen….

            it aint a thing @jdl1279 I have more bad ideas than good, plus one of those really successful folks said something along the lines of all bad ideas are just practice runs at good ideas  or something like that . . . I'm paraphrasing here, hahahahaha

              Wait, what happened with the stacks? We can't stack anymore?

                Yes you still can.

                BUT we used to put stuff aside for people (we called it stacking then too) who wanted something.  We asked for no money up front, expecting that they would pay for it when they asked us to ship it with something else.  We got let down so many times, we had to stop it…..

                    What I wanted was directly opposite. LOL I want to pay for things you don't have yet. I'm grabbing some extant items too though. So I can always bundle those if the shorts come in separate from the others

                      But what happens when we do get them and a) The sizing is not what we expected or b) you have changed shape or c) decide you don't want it after all?  Yes all of those things happened too.

                      The only times we did preorders in any large way was with the last two sets of DWC jeans.  We had to make double what was pre-ordered each time, so that we were certain that we would have enough to satisfy everyone when actual measurements were published.

                      That's why when we released the DWCxUHR we also released the IHxB01xUHR.  Did we want to release a 100 pairs of IHxB01xUHR?  No, but we had to make 200 pairs of the DWC cut to make sure that everyone who had pre-ordered the DWC, go what they eventually wanted….

                        I completely understand the reasoning and when thinking on it can come up with even more reasons why you shouldn't. I appreciate the feedback none the less. I'll impatiently wait my turn like everyone else

                            I would like to see less of a scoop on the hems of the workshirts, a straighter cut would be more suited I think.

                              ^ that's a good point actually since many work shirts are worn loose rather than tucked, and could also be applied to the UHF's, both western and work cuts, since they're probably never tucked due to the thickness

                                I think in 2016, no man should have to wear a t-shirt with an actual "tag" in the neck. Screen printed or heat pressed tags in the shirts would be a great improvement.

                                      Yep I got myself a seam ripper and take them off most times.

                                      Pretty sure my TW's t-shirts were printed in rather than a label.
