Re: taper, I no pattern cutter so I don't know, but is it possible to taper from the knee to an inseam length of 32", and then straight to 36"?
Not if you want to use selvedge denim, want a flattering cut and preserve the selvedge ID on the outseam.
And re: the Type III/type II confusion. Sorry, I cant read :-). Let me have a think about the Type II pocket size….

Another question - why do western UHF's have a button at the collar instead of a snap? All of the other IH westerns I have in other fabrics have a snap at the collar. The UHF fabric is so thick that's it's nearly if entirely not possible to button it.
I only use the top button/snap to put the shirt on a hanger. I can't button/snap the top fastener on IH westerns anyway, as the neck measurement is too small for me. I need a XXL in neck, shoulder and chest measurements, and an XL in body & sleeve length, waist and opening measurements.

If you had a beard you would understand

But the taper from crotch to hem on any cut is done on the inseam to preserve the selvedge outseam. Like I said, I'm no pattern cutter, not trying to argue, just trying to understand… Why can't the last 4" be parallel to the outseam?

They do indeed get caught on the female part of the snap.

…I thought for a while that having a button at the neck was to prevent beard hair getting caught in the snap...
On cheaper non-IH brands, I have that problem of whiskers getting caught in the snap's crimp. But I've never had that problem w/ IH snaps. Quite remarkable actually, and another small sign of IH superior quality.
-
I don't know the definite answer to that. I thought for a while that having a button at the neck was to prevent beard hair getting caught in the snap, and then we started making shirts with snaps all the way through..
Probably not the reason, but snaps require you to mash the snap from the outside against whatever flesh is underneath it, be that in this case your neck or a digit. Perhaps that's thought to be awkward at the neck.

Good point. And maybe it is possible.I'll talk to Tom and H next time I see them.

I'd love to do a work jacket and will give it some thought, historically the ones we have made have not sold well, but that is probably because the cuts were significantly less than ideal
I was thinking of IH existing Work Jacket in hickory stripe. I love the simplicity of the Work Jacket.

Update on the relevant thread shortly but I’ve recently invested in the PIHAN10T and that denim is the absolute tits. I’m bowled over. Anything else made out of it will have my attention.

Indeed. I feel kinda silly for not having worn my pair yet. I'll have to get off my lazy butt and make the drive across town to get them hemmed

We have an unwashed XL sample if anyone would like to buy it.
