    We know you love IH, but where do you think we can improve?

      I totally agree and have suggested this improvement previously.

      So have we. For some inexplicable reason, it gets no traction.....

      Understood - thanks for the feedback and trying to have improved. Still the best jeans.

      No one’s happiness but my own is in my power to achieve or to destroy.

        Larger pockets on your N1 jackets. Especially the interior pocket. Smart phones have grown in size.

          Not much to change but:

          Stronger pocket bags on phones and 1/2” deeper as phones are larger.

          Longer inside legs as after shrinkage unable to wear any jeans with a Tokyo cuff.

          Shorter sleeves! I know this will be a bone of contention and I know they are designed for bikers but, how many bikers wear a flannel on denim shirt or nothing else outside of somewhere like Cali or AZ and how much time do you spend riding as opposed to wearing the gear off bikes?

          More colourful summer shirts and more shorts.

            @Gavin666 i don't think any of these are going to happen, I am afraid.

              It won’t happen as in freight it’s all about cost per delivery etc but ups to Australia takes a very long way round and then since ups don’t operate here they throw the last leg to the cheapest operator and most of the time are subcontractors who are useless

              It’s a minor gripe that I understand you have no control over

              Just seems silly to ship something from the uk to Europe then to the states at multiple locations and then to Australia it’s not you guys it’s ups

                @Alex I understand why the leg length is unlikely to change as it would bump up the cost for the few tall people that like to double cuff and the sleeves is awaits for and against but cannot understand why the pocket bags won’t get reinforced? It must be hands down the biggest complaint by wearers by a million miles? Especially as an IH saying is over engineered and compared to say Freenote or Schaeffers the pocket bags are the only thing that aren’t and let the jeans down.

                  I would love to see the pocket bags on IH jeans ultra reinforced. I get constant tears on all my IH jeans' pocket bags.

                  I totally agree and have suggested this improvement previously.

                      @sabergirl good point but I don’t have time to read everything. Also, surely the more that says something the more weight it is likely to carry etc

                          A little perspective on how many times “pocket bags” has been mentioned:

                          IMG_1436.png

                          You can imagine how many variations of that can be added…

                                From reading the thread responses here on this and many other suggestions where Haraki-san has strong ideas and opinions, I'm not sure that's the way it works when doing business with the Japanese.

                                            @Oaktavia I find myself doing the same. The 888 pockets are pretty hard to access anyway since their opening barely even fits my hands and they’re higher up in the hip bends. Western style thumb holders. I don’t think I’d have them different tho, or they’d look weird.
