        @Giles Is it physically possible to open an umbrella in someone’s ass once inserted? I get it now as it’s been raining all afternoon on very narrow crowded streets here…

          @goosehd sounds like a scientific experiment is required

              @goosehd I'd say n=1000 should give a solid basis for statistical analysis. Just a small cohort as an exploratory study

                  @goosehd no need to blind this study, I think people will notice if you open an umbrella in their arse

                    Do I have a misconfigured shirt? Or put differently - what are the steps a shirt goes through when it gets sewn together?
                    I noticed something rather strange on my 351. The two sides of the front have different lengths. They start out ok at the collar, but in the middle, buttons and holes do not line up anymore. And on the bottom, one side is about an inch longer than the other.
                    How is that possible?

                        I'm after a decent denim sun hat. I know there are some good custom cap/hat makers in US, but cant find them now....Anyone?

                          @tody certainly looks like an issue, @tody. Graham will be in touch via email to work out the best route forward.

                            @Alex Thanks, Alex - still the interest is genuine.
                            I believe I have seen the templates with which each individual piece is cut out of the larger piece of fabric. And I always admire the meticulous matching of the lines and patterns when pieced together - the 401/402 are great examples for that.

                            But how does it go from there? When do which pieces get sewn on, when are the holes for the buttons cut, when are the buttons attached? I think this would be great material for a behind the scenes video - if it does not reveal to much confidential stuff 🙂

                            And, bringing it back to my shirt - could it be two mismatched front sides, one for XXL, one for XXXL? Meaning that there is a mirror shirt of mine, having it the other way round?

                                You're testing my memory somewhat here mate... Individual panels are cut in 'bulk' from lots of sheets of fabric, sleeves, plackets etc etc. The order that they are then assembled in, and at what stage the buttonholing takes place I cannot recall.

                                I think this would be great material for a behind the scenes video - if it does not reveal to much confidential stuff 🙂

                                I agree, we have tried several times but never managed to properly capture the process as we want! We'll keep trying...

                                And, bringing it back to my shirt - could it be two mismatched front sides, one for XXL, one for XXXL? Meaning that there is a mirror shirt of mine, having it the other way round?

                                At a guess, yes..

                                      Found this '10th Anniversary' Wabash shirt on eBay. Curious to know if it's different to the original in any ways other than the added tag?

                                        @T4920 Looks the same to me, and I've just had a look at a few other examples online. Can't imagine they'd deviate from the regular construction but can't confirm 100%. @Giles may rememeber?

                                        The devil is in the detail..

                                            Hi everyone. I would appreciate your opinions on a fit check for my new 21oz type III. I am hesitating between 2 sizes. One is a large and the second is a medium.

                                            The large feels a little too big and the medium is very snug. From my reading it seems like the medium will not stretch and give me a little more room? Otherwise I thought of doing a warm water soak on the large and getting a little shrink if that's a thing?

                                            The first two pictures are the large. You can see the difference in the length of the two and where it ends on my waist vs. lower on the large.

                                            Sorry for the face erase but I'm a private person, hope it doesn't come across the wrong way!
