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

Tapatalk is terrible. If the IH forum weren't on there, I probably wouldn't use it at all. Having our own app would be great.
Word.
I’d suggest that even for those IHF users who use Tapashite for other forums, having an individual app for IHF would be considered a positive thing. The other alternative would be a version of the desktop forum that was more mobile friendly.
For my part, I dislike large format smart phones like the iPhone 8 Plus, but I found myself considering one recently as it may facilitate using the desktop version of the forum. That’s how frustrating Tapatalk is.

OK, it is something we have had in the pipeline for a while, but we have a couple of other projects that we need to finish first before we can focus any Dev time on this.
Just to add to the previous comments…
I only use Tapatalk for the IH forum. I don’t have any problems with it, but I would certainly ditch it were there another alternative. IH app sounds like a worthwhile venture.

Not saying that we can't do this, but what's wrong with the search function?
Search function works well enough. But there are occasions where I can't remember the exact number of a piece so it doesn't do a whole lot of good. At that point I could go to the main site and browse through the extinct items list until I found the one I was looking for but that feels a bit cumbersome.
If I know I am looking for the number of a UHF having the UHF threads separate would probably be faster to click through a few item threads than go the extinct item route. Plus it just feels more organized and the type A part of me likes that.
I also only use Tapatalk for the IH forum, but rarely post via Tapatalk because, like others have said, its awful.

We definitely like the idea, but it will require some thought.
In the shop, an item can be in multiple categories, in the forum not. For instance, a denim western shirt can be in Western Shirts and also Denim and Chambray Shirts. So we would not be able to have a 1:1 match between the shop and the forum…

I find the search function works rather poorly on Tapatalk, which is how I access the forum 99% of the time. When I use the website on any computer the search function works great. This might be a good enough reason for reorganizing categories, though I’m not too sure how many people use Tapatalk.

My experience as well. The search function in tapatalk doesn't work for me at all

Got it. Might be best to scrap the style of shirt and just go with fabric type sorting. So all UHF's together, all denim, all chambray, etc.

Dedicated app for the forum sounds like overkill imho. Wouldn't that mean a fair bit of time and money?
I don't use Tapatalk on mobile, just pinch to zoom in / out.
-
Tapatalk could be better, and people like to complain about it here, but it is still a million times better than using safari on an iPhone. No contest for me.

Maybe just a dedicated mobile forum layout would be a good compromise.
No need for a dedicated app.I don’t know know how this would work out cost wise or even if it’s possible, but it seems like the golden middle road to me.
Using the desktop site in Safari is a drag. Terrible GUI for smart phones. Tapatalk is great when it works, but is too often plagued by bugs and glitches.

I think you need to taper the shirts more from shoulder/chest to waist. I’d love to see that more generally but I think certainly for a line aimed at a younger crowd. As much as I love my IH shirts they can look a little frumpy at the waist (I tend to wear them to work on Fridays where tucking them in fixes that). All the materials and construction are obviously spot on though and I think your range of cuts for jeans covers all the bases.

You have that issue even with the westerns? I can agree that certain workshirts can be boxier but Westerns have always been a great cut for me.

I agree about the westerns, just about perfect. If you need a shirt with a ton of taper, Flathead is [emoji108][emoji108][emoji108][emoji108]

Yep, the westerns are perfectly tapered. No need to change it

I would like to see a minor few shirts with lady shapes…
Maddy is dabbling now, and a men's small workshirt fits around the chesticle area, but billows in the waist. Also the sleeves are too long, and the overall length is too much.
Is that what the "women's sizes" are? Or, are those just smaller scaled versions of the regular patterns?
*I can see why this would be unappealing to the IHJP think tank, as the ladies in Japan who wear IH like the baggy look, and also being that the average cup size in Eastern Asia hovers around an A +/-
