    light weight white summer / under t-shirts (fitted cut), could be sold in a double pack for both customer and retailer satisfaction

    Here's (what I think is) the problem.  Loopwheel costs a load.  The 6.5oz actually costs us more than the 7.5oz to make.  Are you prepared to pay those sort of prices for an undershirt? And popping 2 of them in a packet does not make them any cheaper to make…..

      Do they have to be loopwheel? The wider (and same width) body is less desirable, in my opinion, for an undershirt.

          not from my point and actual was thinking more about to get a ultimate (you gonna have to have goals, like the Lions tonight).. tee that you can wear alone and still have the option to wear to work under a business shirt…

            I certainly wouldn't need it to be loopwheel, just good quality cotton with the right (fitted) fit and built with the typical IH quality.

              There is just no satisfying you lot  :D.  We now, finally, have an IHT with the sturdier collar AND a perfect "summer-weight" (for you delicate folk), and somehow that is still not good enough?!

              I am of the mind that the 7.5oz IHT's already are undershirts!  And with the IHT-1610, these are the best undershirts IH has ever made!  What else do you want?  An Iron Heart sweat-wicking fabric??

              I have been wearing 7.5oz IHT's as undershirts everyday (including the ihpt'z), in 100+' weather in the desert, for five years.  It is as easy as breathing.  In my opinion, if you feel too hot in 6.5oz loopwheeled fabric, then you should buy a different brand.  There are lots of companies making thin, breathable fabric.  There are, however, not a lot of companies making luscious loopwheeled, top-quality-cotton shirts on specialized machines. I felt that the 5.5oz fabric on the TWT-1301 was too light by Iron Heart standards. The collar had very little structure and would not hold its shape when worn. The fabric was surprisingly thin and stretchy and felt flimsy to the touch. Any lighter than 5.5oz and you might as well be wearing a Nike Dri-fit tee or something like it. Iron Heart should stick to their guns. Let people buy their delicates somewhere else!

              But if you do make flimsy shirts for people that overheat easily, please use the same collar as the iht-1610!!

                It's not about this or that, it's about a and. There is a reason for diff oz denim and there is a reason for diff oz tees. Call it personal preferences…. and I have btw stacks of IH tees and this for a reason... quality

                  Personal preferences, no doubt.  I would prefer to see Giles sell the tees he has already made, which are perfectly suitable as "undershirts", rather than hear people say, "what about this idea?" or "how about this instead…" or "if they were only lighter", and then not buy tees  😞

                    My only concern with the IH t's I've tried is they are much too bulky and not really a "fitted" fit, especially in the sleeves. I'm fine with the 6.5oz part, although I'd be fine with lighter weight as well (I never thought I'd be all that interested in a 14oz denim from Iron Heart but I'm LOVING my new 14oz 666's). But to function as an undershirt, it should be more of a slim, fitted cut, especially in the sleeves.

                      I'm definitely in the heavy-weight minority, but I would love to see more people in Iron Heart Tees on a daily basis.  I'd love to see what lightweight magic the crew can come up with to satisfy the need for lighter, stretchier, more fitted IHT's.  I'm all in, regardless… 😘

                        This.

                        I don't care about the weight. It just seems like loopwheeled shirts are made for people with bellies.

                          I love the 7,5 oz Shirts and wear a lot of them, but for a undershirt I'd prefer a slimmer cut and lighter fabric as well. I wouldn't want to wear those heavy current ones under a business Shirt (but then I don't want to anyway). So, I don't ask for new Tees, but can understand the request.

                          @elclintor:

                          > I don't care what people say.. The Max Power way is the right way…

                            I wasn't going to chime in on this T shirt debate, but a couple of comments echo my own experience. I've bought various iterations of printed IH T's for the last 5 years, and love the heavyweight fabric, but have noticed that the changes in fit have made them less suitable for me, and it's principally the tight neck and lack of taper that makes them wear a bit oddly on me. I've bought 6 RMC T's, (the basic 2 pack undershirts), and love the fit, but would love it more if IH could do something in a similar vein.

                              A heavy IHSH-76/99 successor in 18 oz (old or new).

                                I remember the first ever sample of the IHD-01 was made with the old 18oz, but the factory couldn't make a production run. Maybe they can now?

                                    I would love to see a corduroy, sherpa lined Type I jacket (without a buckle).  You basically only see type IIIs like this but I think a type 1 (maybe w/ hidden pockets, almost like Visvim - very unlikely, I know) would be awesome.
