          @Mizmazzle my view on human relationships and life has been shaped by the Simpsons and married with children. Make of that what you will

            @Tago-Mago growing up as a kid, those shows always aired back to back.
            When I moved to South America, I learned to speak Spanish by watching The Simpsons down there in Spanish. I knew every episode by heart so it helped me immensely with understanding and learning new vocabulary.

                      Honestly I kind of just changed preferences. I like the clean look of no yokes, larger armpit openings, gussets etc. Probably because I’m so old as was pointed out.

                        I have 2 IH Work shirts,and the only reason I have them is because they have snaps. There have been some shirts where the work shirt sizing would’ve been better than the western shirt,and I ultimately passed on said shirt.

                            @jordanscollected I think work shirts are getting more popular, but we still make more western shirts than work shirts, so sales data will still show westerns being more popular than works..

                                Supposedly snaps were originally put on shirts so that when cowboys were out on the range for extended periods of time,they wouldn’t have to sew buttons on shirts,should they come off. Oh Snap!

                                    @Mizmazzle Work shirts rarely work for me. When the length is right it's usually too wide and sloppy looking. When the width is right it's too short. Ive got a couple of work shirts among many westerns, so that's definitely my preference. I also have the good fortune of being semi-in-between-sizes for Western cuts, so I normally go up the half size to XL in UHF for a more comfy fit and down the half size to things in harder faced denser fabrics like denim or serge.

                                    This is all 100% me, too. Same sizing and everything. I also prefer a little extra room in the shoulders, so generally go up to an XL.

                                    IHSH-20-Red, XL

                                        Oh yea, I can’t stand buttons on shirts either. I don’t mind bigger buttons, but smaller ones NOPE.

                                        In my previous life as a firefighter and emt, some of us would have a zipper installed under the placket of our shirts and glue the buttons on top.

                                          @Alex How are you approaching/communicating the new overdye method with retailers and customers? Just wondering if there's a worthwhile story to tell about sustainability, or if someone will notice the non-oxidized hardware after purchase and have a "hey, wait a minute?!" moment.
