      We do  ;).  We do it the way the Japanese manufacturers traditionally do it, that way when I spec measurements for a shirt or other top there is zero room for error….

        Smarty pants… Let me rephrase that: not a big thing, but I would like it better if the tops' shoulder measurements on the website were given the traditional Western way, straight across the upper back, shoulder seam to seam.

          I know what you meant. But better for who?  To change the way we do it would mean keeping 2 sets of measurements for every top, and changing every measurement we have ever done and trying to find all references out in the wild and updating them.  Plus we don't have access to much of the extinct stuff to re-measure.

          So it aint happening. Not now, not never….

            I posted this in the wrong thread before:

            I've noticed that on my 3 new shirts the sleeve openings are pretty big. Maybe include a 2nd button or male snap for a smaller fit?

            Giles do you have any extra big copper snaps that I can buy a few to add this extra snap to my new denim shirt?

              Probably, I'll take a look tomorrow…..(you may need to remind me  😞 )

                Thanks Giles. I was gonna say I'd get some with the new black thermal. But you're sold out of 2xl. Oh well. I do need some snaps for that shirt I got. I'd definitely prefer smaller cuff openings.

                    I agree. They are the best buttons I've ever come across. A matte black version would also be nice on shirts like the cookie monster work shirt.

                      I would enjoy a product category (like New Stuff, Bottoms, Shirting,…) called "IH Classics" where you group essentials like the IH-634s, IH-526J, IHSH-13-ind, IHSH-33,...

                      Like that newbies would understand better how to start the addiction - and for us it would be an interesting conversation what those "classics" might be  😉

                                  I understand with the UHF that the top button cannot be a snap closure as the material layers are too thick.

                                  But what about the lighter flannel shirts, could the top button be a snap then?

                                    I tend to like the look of your gear in natural light more than studio light. Adding one shot of a "model" wearing a shirt outdoors might be useful. I suspect I'm not alone in this regard.

                                    .  I've at times thought the same thing,but figured it was always done in the studio for control and consistency. Not long after the new 18OZ Vintage denim came in,and G said they would be his daily beaters, they did the group apron shot and I thought WOW,they look so much better in natural light. Way more vibrant.

                                      I always look at the SE pics as well as the Rivet and Hide pics as I like the gray background they use.

                                        Giles is my favorite staff model, although I get the best ideas from the WAYWT thread. The SE guy has a very different build that isn't all that helpful for me.

                                          I bought my blue/cream buffalo western after I saw it on Fadez,and it was an outside shot. The colors just popped more. I get that they strive for neutrality in their photography and would much rather have us going "Holy shit" than "What the fuck" when we receive an outrageous shirt,jeans or jacket etc.

                                            Self Edge use a flash for their alley way photos and to my eye the colours look wrong (for example http://www.selfedge.com/iron-heart?product_id=1775 ) maybe that's just my eyes?

                                            I'll set up a purely natural light photo for our products from now and try to fill in gaps on our essential products as i go. Our studio is colour balanced to give the most natural look to the clothes and the mac i use is calibrated for the camera we use in that studio. It is amazing how each screen shows things differently but maybe this natural light photo will help. Keep the feedback coming and @ me if there's anything specific you want to see in natural light.

                                            Cheers!
