      it's a great pocket for a zippo. that's where my lighter goes on all the jeans i have..

      Yep, that is how I use mine too. Tight fit for my GAH zippo but works fine.

      The journey is the objective.

        The fifth pocket is not the coin pocket…....

            Are those fifth pocket sized the same in all styles?

                Probably not, I think they are larger on the work pants….Possible also a change in size depending upon the tag size...

                  From our new glossary that @neph93 has been working on for us…

                  The standard number of pockets found on a pair of jeans, introduced in 1922 by Levis Strauss & Co. 5-pocket jeans include two back pockets, two front pockets, and a coin (or watch) pocket, typically found in and above the right-hand front pocket. Contrary to popular belief, the fifth pocket is, in fact, one of the two back pockets, which was introduced in 1905 (the coin pocket appeared in 1890).

                    Posting that pic is fine.

                    The fifth pocket is one of the back pockets. Not the coin/watch pocket.

                    While IH are not a vintage/retro brand, their jeans retain a certain amount of authenticity and carry a lot of the dna from mid century jeans. That pocket was never intended for knife carrying and probably won’t be altered for that any time soon.

                    As G says, more technical, work styled bottoms  will have different pocket solutions than jeans.

                      Now that is what I love about forums you learn things, about the 5th pocket this time!

                      Besides not very practical I could easily call it character in a loving relationship with my 555’s.

                      I miss out some fading potential and that prob is what I pitty the most [emoji57](the blue Blood even has a sixth pocket, the fourth is for a pencil!):

                          Thanks! Had it for years and I love it! Bought at the same time together with the Blue Bloods. Unfortunatly both got extinct wich is too bad imo.

                            I keep my car key fob in my “coin pocket”. Works perfectly for that.

                              I’m largely a work shirt fan but I’ve fallen for a few westerns so far and really value the ease of doing/undoing snaps. Wondering whether anyone else with a beard suffers annoying beard ‘pulls’ from the topmost snap (female half) when undone. I’ve noticed some westerns (13) have a button at the top. Is that the reason for it?

                              For the westerns with snaps all the way up, perhaps a solution could be a small, removable but beautiful GAH male snap which one could use on different shirts as needed. Thus solving the beard snag glitch and simultaneously pimping the shirt? Sound useful?

                                Love that you can hover over a product and see what's available with the different sizes.
                                It saves that extra step of actually clicking on the image to go to the product page.
                                Was wondering if it would also be possible to do that with the Seasonal or Continuous Production info.
                                Even if it was say a big C or a big S in the upper right hand corner?
                                I could tell at a glance if its an item I need to be quick about ( the seasonal stuff) or if I had time to buy if it were a Continuous item.

                                Just an idea 🙂

                                    Why, it's a good idea?  Let me have a think about how and if we should do that?

                                      I know this has been brought up before. But just once I wish we could have an "experimental" UHF that was once brushed on the inside and not brushed on the outside.

                                      Another wash and another shave.

                                      For this experimental UHF I'd love something in the same block check pattern as above… maybe blue, black, and rust/brown color?
                                      Black were the blue is, blue were the green is, and rust were the cream is.


                                      And black is black 😄

                                        During the check out process have a prompt for signature or no signature.

                                          From our experience, very few people want delivery without signature.  Some do, and they will contact us, we can then explain the risks. It actually costs us extra to require a signature, but the incidence of packages going missing when we ship with no signature is far higher than when one is,  And when a package does go missing it leaves a bad taste in everyone's mouth. We do not want a radio button, yes/no for this, because we don't want people casually ticking it with no real thought about the consequences.  When a $1000 jacket goes missing it's really difficult for us to say "tough shit, you should not have waived the signature".

                                          So it won't happen, but it's not a lot of effort to put "no signature please:" in the comments field.  If you do, the shipping boys will contact you to explain that if the package goes missing after leaving the local delivery depot, the risk is 100% yours.  Or you can elect to have the package shipped to a UPS pick-up point.
