      Would people pay for extra stickers?

      I wouldn't.

      It's a nice, light, effective bit of brand building as it is. I miss them when they don't get sent and I'm always pleased to see new ones. Probably shouldn't be overthought. A y/n option out of respect for people not wanting create unnecessary waste seems like an easy fix.

        I am a huge advocate of the stickers…

        When I was interning at IHUK in 2014 I got in Giles' ear, pestering him to bring back stickers (I even developed the concepts for the first handful). I pitched the idea thinking they would be sold but Giles thought it would be great to give them away as a gift.

        The way I see it, over complicating it by giving specific amounts based on spend or a checkbox just takes the fun out of it. There is no surprise for the customer AND it also adds a little extra stress to the one packing and sending.

        I've had first hand experience dealing with the first day of a UHF going live or an out of the blue IH sale, there are so many things to check, double check and even triple check before finally slapping on the shipping label… Making sure you've thrown in six stickers instead of the usual three is just something you don't want to worry about.

        The stickers should be a nice surprise, not an expectation.

          We won't sell them.  Though I like the idea of offering people the option to say "No Stickers Please".

          The latest lot arrived today…...

              Yeah, that's about right. (Those new ones are really nice [emoji38])

                  I too love them and collect them. How can someone be so cruel not liking free stickers?

                  I guess my heart is made of iron.

                    IH outerwear lacks a hanging loop… It's such a small thing, but maybe most people don't even think about it at all. At this point, I have five IH jackets/coats, and NONE of them have a hang-loop..... Any particular reason why?

                        Often on heavier clothing a hang loop adds a level of stress to the garment.

                                I think for some future products you could try crowd funding. You kinda do that already by asking retailers for their committment prior to a release, but why leave the public out?

                                        Here's the crowdfunding post from earlier in the year that Giles was responding to;

                                        @Hematoma:

                                        I know it's doubtful, but it would be awesome if IH might explore crowdfunding for products that are riskier (in terms of public interest).  I know there are questions of sizing inconsistencies/changes during production, but even if you produced extra, the upfront cost would be lessened significantly.

                                        It has been proposed once or twice in the history of the forum and has been shot down everytime…
