      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…

      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?

          Agreed. I don't understand why so many people use this TapaTalk in the first place, I mean every mobile browser can save and manage your forum passwords if one's that lazy and it's far more comfortable to surf without any app and being dependent on it.

            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.

              I thought a dedicated app for the forum would be a great idea at one point in time.  I have done a complete U-Turn and can think of a million and one ways I would rather piss my money away than doing that.

                Maybe just a dedicated mobile forum layout would be a good compromise.

                  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]

                            The sweet spot (for me…) is between IH and FH. I don't want "a ton of tapper" but some would be nice.

                            Now, to be fair, the IH shirts vary enough from model to model that most people can find shirts that fit well, albeit not always in the model the want.

                              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 +/-

                                I believe @RoxRocks86  new IHSH-62 is a ladies cut. Looks like a slimmer waist on it but then again I think the 62 has more taper than many IH shirts.

                                    In my personal collection, the only shirt more tapered than my 62's is my IHSH-76

                                      If there are ladies cut UHF's, she'll be a repeat customer surely. She owns an IHSH-131-BB, and has adopted my IHSH-101-MC which has shrunken too small to me, and she wants MORE…

                                      Btw, she says navy X red would be a good flannel colorway, as well as navy X black.

                                          ^^^that’s great news! Will IHUK be stocking women sizes?

                                          As far as I can tell, you guys are correct. The 62 does have more taper compared to other westerns. Ladies small fits similar to xs just smaller. Still has that somewhat boxiness to it and long sleeves.

                                          & yes, more options for the ladies sizing wise would be great. Understand that IH is more towards a burly male demographic, but us women want our IH goodies too.

                                            I concur. I have the Filson cascade shirt below and it’s my favorite colorway. I’m sure IH could come up with their own variant that is similar but in uhf form [emoji106]
