      @JDelage:

      For the sake of continuing the discussion (all in good spirit  ;)), there's a 6" difference in chest measurement between shirts by IH and TFH (for a shoulder measurement of 18.3"-18.6"). Surely there is a market for something in between.  (Not a scientific sampling - just looked at a few flannel workshirts on SE.)

      I've been vocal about this in the past as well. Initially I thought maybe IH catered to beer bellies, but after thinking about it some more it could be the case that it is the result of a comfort issue regarding the seated position on a motorcycle. I'm not sure but that would make sense.

        I'm a pretty average build…......I think.

        IH fits me, TFH does not.

        Not knocking TFH, just built for a different body type.....

        And for those who don't know, I was the agent for TFH in Europe until a few years ago.  I had to make a decision about who I batted for.......The rest is history...

          Yeah, TFH's sizing is weird. That's why I was advocating for something in between. Certainly not trying to turn IH into another TFH. Anyway, I'll drop it now. Just wanted to be clear. Completely understand that IH cannot do everything whatever the size of the market.

            3/4 sleeve heavy weight shirt

            Just like the awesome IHTL-1501 but three quarter sleeve length…

              Since last I heard you are retiring the denim, you should do an update to the IHSH-99.  Heavy, black overdyed, CPO style with muted stitching.

                  OK.  Here is the plan.

                  We have some 17oz denim that is slightly sub-standard.  It can't be used for "normal" indigo stuff as the indigo is slightly uneven, but Haraki thinks that it will be perfect for overdying.

                  So we are going to make another batch of IHSH-99 out of it…..

                  Whilst that is happening, I am going to run a sample of the IHSH-76 out of the new 18oz vintage denim......

                    ^ Both those things make me happy. I'd given up on owning a 99 and while I do like my 76 a lot, it's a shacket/layering piece and I'd like a smaller heavy denim CPO as well.

                      A vintage denim 76 sounds really good!

                        Very cool. I got one of the last IHSH-76 xl out of Japan, and it's a very nice piece of gear.

                          76 in the vintage style denim sounds great!
                          Would you ever do a heavier? 21oz? Or getting difficult to stitch?

                            Well that went way better than expected…count me in for sure on the IHSH-99.  Sounds like a great solution.  I suppose it's way too early to ask timeline?  I get your emails but only check the forums occasionally, this is definitely one I don't want to miss!

                                    How about a 64 with pockets?

                                    It's certainly heavy enough to feel like a shacket just missing the pockets

                                      Yes! Although at this point, having just sold on my 64's as too large I'd take anything close to a 64.

                                        I recently got my hands on a IHV-14. I think it's fantastic. How about a heavier version (heavier denim, more fluff) and some big snaps like on the IHS-76?

                                          @Giles any chance of doing another overdyed 33?  Or how about an overdyed 75?
