              @SourPower That will do nicely, and boy do I love a pair of Xtratuf.....

              To your comment about taking Bones on a 1 weight outfit. It teaches you 2 things:

              1. How close you can get to a fish and cast without not spooking it. I got way more hits on the 1 weight than I do on my traditional #7. However, that may also have been that out of necessity, you have to use minute flies......
              2. That you have to know how to run mighty fast in calf deep water....

                @Giles What does ‘extant’ mean in the context of IH pieces?

                  That they are in semi regular production as opposed to being a seasonal release not to be rerun.

                    @Buckeye long ago, there used to be an archive of all of the “extinct” products that wouldn’t be rerun, and in contrast, as @Matt pointed out, the “extant” products are regularly restocked and very much “alive” in the manufacturing pipeline.

                                What is the better seller in UHF's (buffalo or ombre)?

                                Which is the best selling (quantity or in terms of how quickly it sold out) UHF of all time (or which is the most requested re release)? I know that last bit is subjective and more of a "if you guys are going to rerun a UHF from days gone by, which one would you like to do the most because of sales and popularity?"

                                  How quickly something sells out is not a good measure. I we had 1 of each size, we'd sell out in nano seconds, but have no idea what real demand was. @alex will have the numbers of buffalo v ombre. but again, it is likely to be subjective because we won't know if we had stock of something whether we would have sold more.

                                  I have been thinking that we should create a list of what we should run again, there are a load that would sell like crack if we rereleased.

                                    @goosehd Obviously ombré is superior to buffalo by every conceivable metric. As a late adopter of IH I would love to see some of the old shirt designs make a return. I shall be compiling a list @Giles 😉

                                        I got a little loopy towards the end there, sorry. A semi annual or annual phoenix program would be pretty cool though.
