        My only improvement suggestion would be for the jeans’ pocket bags - to somehow make them even more indestructible.  I carry my keys in my right pocket and also my knife clipped into this pocket and I typically will need to repair holes in this pocket bag long before anything else on the Jean needs any attention.  The IH pocket bags are better than brands I’ve worn in the past, so not complaining - just throwing it out there as something to further make them even more “iron”.

        No one’s happiness but my own is in my power to achieve or to destroy.

          I have found that vests and man bags are an excellent work-around.

            I agree. I think this is the ONLY ‘flaw’ of IH jeans. It has definitely been brought up before. The best solution I have seen is light weight canvas. Amos, at Grease Point Workwear does this and it is amazing. I don’t see how changing the pocket bag material would be much of and issue unless it came down to fitting the material in to the sewing machines..

              This may have already been suggested, but I would like two additional belt loops on my IH jeans.  If not two, then at least one more where there are two loops closer together at the center of the back.

              I make this suggestion after taking notice of the IH/Division Road collaborations (502 and 602) I own. Both pairs have seven loops.  All my other IH jeans have five loops.  I like the functionality of the additional loops.

              Note, I suspect this wouldn't be done on some of the smaller waist sizes.  So if you are looking for a place to start, waist size 34" and up please.  🙂

                  Lined rear pockets for the 17oz Selvedge Denim Natural Indigo jeans.  I personally have to cut and iron an iron on patch into the rear pocket I carry my cell phone in of any jeans with unlined pockets (including the NIN) or a hole will wear through within three months and then continue to get bigger over time.  I haven’t experienced this issue yet with the IH jeans with lined pockets and if it does occur it takes more than a year (for me currently).  The lined rear pockets is typically one of the many advantages of purchasing the IH quality and of being “iron’.  Not being negative here - the IH products are top notch - just throwing out a small area for potential improvement of a specific product.  John

                    Someone will correct me if this is wrong, but I think whether or not the pockets are lined depends more on the cut than the denim. 634 pockets aren’t lined, for example.

                                Bigger/thicker buttons on work shirt UHFs please. The current ones occasionally slip open unintentionally and they feel flimsy compared to the weight of the flannel.

                                +1 for thicker pocket bag material on jeans. And also just bigger/deeper pocket bags in general. My hands barely fit much less my phone.

                                  The buttons thing is a well known issue and does need a fix.

                                  The pocket sizing is also a returning comment from users, but that is a design choice by Haraki-san and unlikely to change. Having stuff in your pockets while riding isn’t wise or comfortable. This is also the reason why the back pockets are pushed to the side. And the reason why IH make bags [emoji38]

                                    I would be happy if the opening of the front pockets would be bigger/wider. For me they are deep enough, but the small opening is giving me rage sometimes.

                                          I would disagree with this just because I don't like the way it looks when jeans get too "loopy," for lack of a better word. Any time I see more than five, I'm always like "why did they do that?" What can I say — I'm a minimalist 😉

                                            This may be one of those waist size dependent things.  Could very well be off base on this, but my theory is larger waist size = more loops.  Another theory is lack of “booty” i.e. flat butt = more belt loops.
