      I’ve considered that myself. It appears to be a standard for pockets and yokes on all checked
      shirts, both for Iron Heart, other premium makers, and off brand items. If you have a look
      they all set the patterns perpendicular. Whether it is tradition or aesthetics, I have no idea. I’ll tip the latter.

        A regular customer popped in today to have his monthly fix.  Bought a couple of 6-packs as a present for the boys.  I thought it was supposed to be the other way around 🙂

          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

          My best guess is it has something to do with tradition?  Patterned Western shirts were originally created as a way for cowboys to show off a bit.  So I would guess the misaligning of patterns was originally intentional as a way to make the shirt a bit louder….  Then it just stuck.  Just my guess though.

            Yeah, probably the same reason plackets and yokes often are also rotated. Or reasons–I suspect:

            1. break up the pattern a bit
            2. less labor-intensive (in the old days)

            Think it, be it.

              Could it be that it's generally the most efficient way to lay out a shirt pattern in terms of fabric use?

                I wanted to give a huge thank you to @Jett129 and his son for their random act of kindness. Some of you may have read some of my posts commenting on my son's full-blown obsession with Pokemon cards. He collects and trades them but  i've also been taking him to Pokemon tournaments so that he can learn to actually play the game. As you can imagine, buying Pokemon cards gets expensive so I had to tell my son that he either learns to play the game or I stop buying them for him lol

                Anyway, Jett reached out to me and said his son had a bunch that he was willing to give away. Sure enough, he sent me about 700 of these Pokemon cards which I in turn gave to my son last night. @Jett129 , my boy was blown away and couldn't contain his excitement. He doesn't understand the concept of internet communities so I told him a friend and his son gave these to me to give to him. This is one of the reasons why I love the IH forum so much. Its members are awesome and its a cool community to be a part of.

                          Mainly people who have left of their own accord because they felt uncomfortable being in a nice place or people who have been urged to do so for ditto…

                                  Nah, you deserve all the credit  😎  The cards you sent were the icing on the cake. I bought my son Pokemon cards for xmas, so the ones you sent were the motherload. He wanted to spend the evening sorting all of them but I said that would have to wait til the weekend  😃

                                      If people being nice to you generally makes you uncomfortable, I feel sorry for you and want to ask who hurt you.  😃

                                      It's one of the things that makes this little nook of the internet great. I think for the most part people here treat one another the way that they would if they were standing face to face, instead of being pointlessly rude safely behind a keyboard. If your instinct, when sheltered from the consequences of how you engage with people, is to abuse them, then you are a bad person and I don't want anything to do with you.

                                      Think it, be it.

                                          .  If I had to sort them,the kid would’ve finished college by the time I was done. That’s a big part of the fun I think.
