    @Giles:

    I don't know the definite answer to that.  I thought for a while that having a button at the neck was to prevent beard hair getting caught in the snap, and then we started making shirts with snaps all the way through..

    Probably not the reason, but snaps require you to mash the snap from the outside against whatever flesh is underneath it, be that in this case your neck or a digit. Perhaps that's thought to be awkward at the neck.

    Think it, be it.

      @mpukas:

      @Giles:

      Not if you want to use selvedge denim, want a flattering cut and preserve the selvedge ID on the outseam

      But the taper from crotch to hem on any cut is done on the inseam to preserve the selvedge outseam. Like I said, I'm no pattern cutter, not trying to argue, just trying to understand… Why can't the last 4" be parallel to the outseam?

      Good point.  And maybe it is possible.I'll talk to Tom and H next time I see them.

        I'd love to do a work jacket and will give it some thought, historically the ones we have made have not sold well, but that is probably because the cuts were significantly less than ideal 🙂

        I was thinking of IH existing Work Jacket in hickory stripe. I love the simplicity of the Work Jacket.

            Exactly what were going to do and then we decided to do a Type III instead - sorry….

                    Update on the relevant thread shortly but I’ve recently invested in the PIHAN10T and that denim is the absolute tits. I’m bowled over. Anything else made out of it will have my attention.

                      Indeed. I feel kinda silly for not having worn my pair yet. I'll have to get off my lazy butt and make the drive across town to get them hemmed  😃

                                  Here's one way to add hand warmer pockets to a Type II

                                    How do you like it? I have to say I find that solution a little hard on the eye.

                                      Not sure… I don't dislike it. I don't think it looks bad. I like the concept and practicality/functionality of it. I appreciate the thought that went into it to make it work and still look good. It's a flat lay pic, and in a fit pic I think it would better. Hand warmer pockets on a Type II are a lot harder than a Type III due to the pocket placement and larger size.

                                        I think it looks fine, but it could also be done with tonal stitching for a stealthier approach.

                                          The contrast stitching on the pockets is certainly my issue with it. The effect on visual composition, in relation to the chest pockets is off and it makes the effect is that the jacket’s front looks crowded and busy. The bar tacks at each end of the opening on the hand-warmers also throw the balance off by dint of drawing even more attention to them. Tonal stitching would solve, or at least mitigate the issue.

                                          I’m on the fence when it comes to hand-warmers on type III’s, but at the end of the day I can get on with them because of the way they can be integrated into the traditional design without too much fuss. I think the og design of the type II makes this harder, and for my money, the given example would not be the way to go. But that is just me.
