Great, thank you.

Why are work shirts generally have longer sleeves than their western shirt counter part? My 126 has an almost perfect length of about 26", while my 127 is 25"…? Same size too. Also the body length.

At the same time, my 2 64s and 92 in XL are PERFECT in every way in fit for me. Length is dead on on the 92 and slightly long(which I am always ok with) on the 64s.

Also...anyway to flatten out or bring in the "flaps" I always notice on work shirts? I would guess I could tuck a little fabric back and sew them so it would be a streamline fit, but curious if there is an easier way to stop them from sticking out? Thanks!

@Shoreman:

Curious is whiskeyriver is actually MikeC. There were a couple of other guys over the years who would get REALLY agitated about this stuff, too.

Hi. My name is actually Rye.

Q. re: Snap Pimpage.

Is there any particular reason that one type of snap is pimpable, and not the other? I know that the pimpable snaps only require one part of the snap to be replaced with an alternative. Is it not possible to remove/replace both parts of the pimpable/non-pimpable snap? Thank you.

[Giles]

Short answer.

No, because the snaps that we can pimp are "thin" fabric snaps and will not work on thick fabrics.  So replacing all 4 parts is not possible

Long answer.

I guess we could find pimpable big snaps but H says he can't find any (which is the Japanese way of saying, I don't want to) and I have not got the time to source them…Actually, full disclosure, I can't be bothered....

Thank you for your quick response. I fully understand the short answer.

Re: Long answer. "I can't be arsed." Hahaha! Succint. My kinda response. Thank you.

I thought "I can't be arsed" was a little blunt, but as you spotted, that's what I actually meant….

Blunt…schmunt! I like straight talk.

Can anyone enlighten me as to how the 17oz organic denim used in the 555N/ 634N etc breathes? Is it closer to the 18oz or the 21oz? What I'm really asking is will it work as a summer jean in a temperate/colder climate?

[Giles]

IMO - Closer to the 21…
