Samples - New Products We Are Working On
-
Lee and Levi's both relented to popular opinion and added handwarmers to their riders over time, which is one reason I have vintage editions of them from each maker. So it's not a repro thing at all.
I just don't the use them, as on short jackets they are awkwardly high. So it's something superfluous to me that looks bad and gets worse with evo.
Contrast that versus a hoodie or a shacket where the pockets are lower and I actually use them. I love them on my IHSH-49, for example. Much, much lower than a traditional rider cut.
To each his own!
-
No handwarmers imo.
-
Can you do tonal handwarmers for the stormrider? I like the functionality but prefer the look of the classic. But overall my vote is yes
-
If we do hand warmers, they will be tonal, they will not be integrated into the outer front vertical seam (sorry @mclaincausey )
-
No skin off my back, I have the correct design already
-
was thinking about this earlier…
would love a more classic, but still IH styled button down. Single pocket on the left chest, regular collar and maybe some heavier buttons depending on fabric. Could work with lighter chambrays for summer and heavier canvas for fall/winter, almost like a mechanic shirt.
-
Are you all talking about pockets? Cuz if you are please now and forever after refer to them as pockets. Hand warmers are those little hot packets full of magic dust that heat activate when they hit the air. Thank you
-
Lol. "Hand warmer" as in differentiating them from "chest" pockets. "Bilateral lower abdomen" pockets doesn't have the same ring.

Sounds like the IHSH-165, which had to go on clearance. Probably not a good sign, even though it's a fantastic shirt. That one was also herringbone, which never seems to sell well, so maybe that style in a different fabric could work.

Storm Rider - Final Decision
18oz Vintage Denim
Blanket Lined
Khaki Corduroy Collar
Tonal Stitched Handwarmers
Khaki Corduroy Pocket Bags
Bronze Coloured HardwareWe asked H about pockets set into outer front vertical seams. "Bad Idea!" he answered before Sarina even had a chance to translate. When asked to explain he said, they would be too far forward to make decent sized pockets (especially on the smaller sizes) and there is a tendency for them to get stretched and thus spoil the line of the jacket….

I use handwarmer inners as a pocket for my phone. Will that be possible if blanket lined?
Also, will the lining be stitched into the hem or loose as Lee seems to do on the more expensive ones?

what do you mean? not quite familiar with the construction terminology. i assume that's the same hand warmer pockets like the rest in production now?

You and me both. This may be the piece that breaks me from my no new cold weather gear rule…
