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

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
-
Yep, womens cuts are remodelled.
We have a few here we could send Maddy to try….
We'll get on that after our vacation!
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]

arms are just too short for me. really only IH works because of the variability in sizing and top notch service means they actually look though for one with long enough arms.
my post got moved from IH racing, so i think is out of context. i thought the purpose of that thread i thought was seeking comment on a new line aimed at a younger consumer, hence the more tapered comments. i guess it stands as a general comment too although seems a little harsh. the proof of the pudding is in the eating though, i love my IH shirts and more are currently winging their way to me!

Some great ideas being thrown around. But, before all else, I'd still love to see this black/red beauty finally make it to production…..
Preferably in workshirt. But, I'd definitely grab the western, if the only option.

Whoops, my bad. It seemed like a general comment about IH and that others also read it that way. It’s not clear yet whether IH Racing will do shirts which may also have confused me. I’ll let it all stand here now as clarity has been achieved. My apologies.

While we are on shirts, I've come to realise and accept that the variation in sizing and cut between the same size (say xl) is a good thing. I might not always find the exact right fit in a particular style, but I WILL generally find a perfect fit in more than one style I love. I understand the reason for the longer sleeve length, but sometimes wish they could be an inch shorter in some models. The cost of making limited runs for the European market such as the flat head do would be too expensive.
One change I would welcome is a slightly wider/lower arm hole in most shirts and jackets. They often cut into my arm pit and I e heard others have a similar issue. I'd have thought that a greater taper from shoulder to elbow could address that issue (same as knee to hem tapers on jeans).
It's never a deal breaker, but it would be welcome. I'm sure there must be a design or production reason that makes it more difficult than I presume?

In seasonal releases, only if asked…
