      This concerns only the oiled versions of the N1 deck jacket (IHM-37-ODG, IHM-37-BLK).
      The armpit material on the inside is the same oiled whipcord as the rest of the jacket. Because this treatment is decreasing breathability, I find it weird that it was used there as the next layer has deliberately the vent holes. At the end of the day, you have two layers of poorly breathing material in the place where you will sweat the most, and the vent holes stop being functional and become more of a decorative ornament.
      I propose using unoiled material for that internal part and then external vent holes will have the possibility to work.

        Not sure if this is an issue on the UHF work cuts, but on the western's collar fastening using a very tiny button through a very thick section of fabric is harder to do up than just about any XHS/UHR jeans I've had. At least it is on the 340-OD. I know there's the known issue about work shirt buttons popping out, but I can't even get it fastened on the collar in some cases, especially while wearing. Not a big deal since I only rarely do up the collar but it is nice on chilly mornings.

          We are moving to new buttons on our FW24 UHFs, I havent checked but assume those new ones will also be on the western top buttons. I can check when back from the USA tomorrow

            @pechelman I’ve wondered about this many, many times. I never button the top button when I’m wearing a shirt, but I do when I hang them up, because it keeps the collar from getting too squished out of shape in the closet. Those tiny buttons are soooooo hard to fasten.

              This is probably captured in the 700 or so posts in this thread but coat loops would be appreciated. I have plenty of IH coats (more than I should admit), alas only one, the glorious N1, has a coat loop. A little piece of me dies every time I put the weight of my IH 75 on the hood

                @popvulture @pechelman I own a very thick 19 oz. chino shirt from Nine Lives and the top button is absolutely impossible to fasten. They stuff the very top of the placket with a thick material which gives it a 0% chance of achieving closure.

                All this to say the top button may be more decor than function on these thick fabrics, as annoying as it can be.

                  a slightly larger button or one that's sewn on less tightly to the placket face might actually make it work

                      @weftyarn What do you think of the coat loop I made for the IHJ-08 I sold you 😂

                      Context for others: Made this coat loop for the IHJ-08 which like many other jackets didn't have a coat loop using a little bit of some waxed cotton laces I had.

                        @pechelman @jordanscollected you don’t see it on a typical pearl snap western shirt, but other than tradition, would there be a reason why it couldn’t be a snap? Could be a structural thing.

                          I absolutely love it, mate @cityofdelusion and the Mrs even more haha! She loves the jacket.
                          You know what the problem is? None of the other jackets I know has a tag that you can use as a loop to attach a proper loop such as the 08 🤷🏽‍♂️

                            Coat loops have been asked for 100 times, Haraki does not like them so I don't see it happening, I am afriad.

                              @weftyarn I'm glad it's useful! And I 100% agree regarding the coat loop idea, always wished for IH jackets to have them by default, but as Alex said, Haraki-san does not want them...

                              Funny enough though, the IHJ-79 (which I own) has a coat loop and if I had to guess, the new Primaloft jacket that Haraki-san is working on might have one too.

                                I'd prefer for it to be a snap personally, but figured there's some reason Haraki-san does it the way he does it with western collars being buttoned vs cpo collars with snaps (i.e. doesnt seem like it's a structural issue to me). Either way, sounds like this may be making its way in 2024?

                                  Ah right… some do have snaps there. I think the 14oz indigo black shirt I have (forget the no.) has a top snap. I’d love it to become a global thing.

                                    It would be nice on the internet site if when doing the product comparison, you could highlight the measurements column of interest. This way you could easily see the information you wanted. I have no idea how that would be possible, and maybe there is a way that my computer can do it, but thought I would ask.

                                          Have you guys ever considered putting some of your most popular core pieces into production without snaps, and allowing customer to chose the snaps they'd like upon purchasing?

                                          It's a small thing, but one that would be in line with IH's signature customer service.

                                          Pimping options are great, but I'd be lying if I said I hadn't passed on certain pieces in the past because I wasn't a fan of the stock snaps, and didn't wanna pay to have them swapped out.

                                          “𝑁𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑟 𝑙𝑒𝑡 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑓𝑢𝑡𝑢𝑟𝑒 𝑑𝑖𝑠𝑡𝑢𝑟𝑏 𝑦𝑜𝑢. 𝑌𝑜𝑢 𝑤𝑖𝑙𝑙 𝑚𝑒𝑒𝑡 𝑖𝑡, 𝑖𝑓 𝑦𝑜𝑢 ℎ𝑎𝑣𝑒 𝑡𝑜, 𝑤𝑖𝑡ℎ 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑠𝑎𝑚𝑒 𝑤𝑒𝑎𝑝𝑜𝑛𝑠 𝑜𝑓 𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑠𝑜𝑛 𝑤ℎ𝑖𝑐ℎ 𝑡𝑜𝑑𝑎𝑦 𝑎𝑟𝑚 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑎𝑔𝑎𝑖𝑛𝑠𝑡 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑝𝑟𝑒𝑠𝑒𝑛𝑡.”

                                            @T4920 Given the relatively low number of snap upgrades we do in comparison to the default ones, it would not make sense to do so in my opinion. Not to mention a large increase in workload.

                                            For example, when the IHSH-33's get restocked, a large portion of them fly out the door on day one. Having to fit the snaps on every single one, would delay shipping, and require a lot of manpower to get them done in a timely manner.
