      Thank you Mrs. G!

      Yeah, I wish it was possible to relocate the snaps on a western shirt as well as move the buttons on say, a type III jacket.  But moving forward, knowing how big/small the sleeve openings are, would help give an idea whether or not I can make a specific size work before ordering.

        @Aetas:

        Received an vintage 5Brother flannel from @Megatron1505 .
        One impressing detail: A collar stay. The stays ensure that the collar lies flat against the collarbone, looking crisp and remaining in the correct place. But they are plastic and not removable.

        Can you do a prototype shirt with pockets on the underside of the shirt.
        If that works, everybody can decide on his own, to put strips such as brass, ssteel, mother of pearl or nothing in the pockets.

        I like this motion (I simply prefer my collars staying nice and straight). Collar stay, especially on UHFs, would be epic.

            I'd love to put some metal stays in my UHFs. IMO, it just makes the entire look that much 'sharper'. Do you think this is a detail a good tailor can add? I obviously don't want to ruin my UHFs…

              An incredibly talented tailor could do it.

              Sorry I've been blasting this thread, but just realized this one hanging all my stuff, would be nice to have hanger loops in the collar

                  This!
                  A big IH motorcycle hanger is much more needed than a collar stay!! 🙂
                  Thanks @Akuma no uta

                      Yeah I gotta say that is something which is missing. Getting my lefty trucker to stay on a hook is a pain in the ass because it's so stiff and no loop. What are the reasons for no loops?

                        +1 on the big hangar.

                        Collar stays are a pain in the arse and a poor substitute for a good collar in the first place. Leave the shirts alone as they are!

                            I hate loops. I find them to be very irritating.

                                  What exactly bothers you with Loops? If you don't use them, leave them be, how can they irritate you? But the super stiff jacket are really hard to keep on a hanger without them.

                                  Also +1 on smaller arm openings on T-Shirts. The Sweatshirts are super tight, but the tees make averyone look like he never lifted any weights.

                                    Loops (especially on heavier items) causes undue strain at one or two (depending upon construction of the loop) small point.  Not good…

                                        How about a "show pictures only" function for every thread? This would be very convenient as one hadn't to browse through many pages just to see some fit pics.

                                          @BULLITT:

                                          Speaking of sleeve opening, I often experience shirts & jackets to be a tad snug around the chest, so I have to size up.  But by doing so, the sleeves will also be longer (naturally).  However, sometimes I can still make it work, if I can close the sleeve opening tightly enough.

                                          A suggestion:  For the future, would it be possible to have measurements of the sleeve openings at their smallest closure?  A sort of "hem" measurement for tops if you will.

                                          I also think a second, inner button on shirts and/or jackets would be great and allow for different wrist sizes or tightness (some people just prefer a tighter fit).  I believe Visvim even does this with their denim jackets - not the greatest IH comparison, but can help avoid the blousy sleeve look that some denim jackets have.
