I enjoyed all @rocket posted photos today. He posted awesome fit pics in nearly every product thread IH has. Haha. He owns one of everything it seems and looks great in all of it. I always get good ideas from his combos. Thanks rocket. Well done!

Rocket sightings are always good.

That 04 is looking fresh!
That is actually an IHSH-01. As far as I know the only distinguishing difference from the 04 was the tag. Both the red and blue variants of the 01 had white collar tags.

That’s cool! I didn’t notice the tag, just that lovely color. It’s a beaut

Keep your eyes on the Sales Forum. He’ll be dropping some major stuff for sale and I feel comfortable saying he probably has the largest collection of IH shirting that I’ve ever seen. On top of that he’s one of the nicest guys you’ll ever meet [emoji106]

Thanks for the kind words Matt! I will probably have it all up in the sales thread at the beginning of next week. And Sabergirl I might have the two 04s that you need to complete the trifecta.

My OCD sings in delight when yokes align this well to pattern. Thank you to the workers who executed this and the Boss who maintains standards (if this is indeed intentional–seems it could be hard to get it right consistently across sizes).
-
As I think about it, I guess it could be done in any size on the back yoke, backing out from the center alignment of the pattern, whose size, after all, doesn't change. Not all tartans are symmetrically-striped (see the -104) and the yoke is curved, so it won't always work perfectly but I appreciate the effort (or happenstance).
I actually had never though about it but noticed it on @Alex in a promo shot working on a bike in the Mustard Buzzard.

Pattern matching, to me, is one of the quickest and easiest ways to determine the quality and care put into a garment. Once you notice it it's hard to go back to not caring whether things match up or not.
-
It is certainly intentional. Just look at the way the dots line up on an IH wabash shirt.
Yeah, but the Wabash alignment is obvious and would look really shitty if they didn't do it. Also consider that the pockets on the wabash are not rotated 45 degrees as are the ones on the flannel patterns. Even the underside of the flaps have the dots in alignment on those shirts!
Flannels, I think you can get away with quite a but more. My -155, for example, does not have the same perfection on its back yoke observed above, and I didn't notice this until today. Take a look at the peaks of your front yoke and see if the same part of the pattern converges on each–those and the pockets on mine are uniformly perfect across all my UHFs. And if they weren't, no one would notice (unlike, IMO, a misaligned striped pattern).
-
Does anyone know what the reasoning behind the flannel pockets not lining up with the rest of the pattern is? I think they might look better aligned… just my opinion though, and you know what they say about opinions lol
