      ^^ I agree. For me work shirts are just not meant to be..  😢

      Having no destination, I’m never lost.

        This is the perennial "I think the T shirt should be longer, fatter, slimmer, looser…......." discussion.  They are what they are and we are not a large enough company to produce a load of different cuts.  This became very irritatingly quoted back to me by an ex member time and time again as "We are not a T-shirt" company - irritating but true.....

          Totally agree with all of the comments above.  Fit is such a personal preference and I fully acknowledge I like my T shirts on the longer side than most do.  It's just an odd pet peeve of mine, having a T shirt that is too short.  Like neph said you win some and you lose some, and fortunately for me nearly everything else IH fits me great especially the westerns and 634 cut.  Sometimes I just state my selfish opinion on this because that damn marled grey fabric on these 1610's is so lovely it's a shame it doesn't fit me to my liking.

            I have this shirt in L and XL and find that they are ok in length. I'm 6'3" too… I wonder if I have a short torso, or if I lucked out and got a few of the longer ones.

              To taper a loopwheel you need to add side seams.

              I did suggest to do this only with XL and XXL, as these have side seams regardless  🙂  I wouldn't dare suggest adding seams where they don't belong, I own some loopwheeled t's and the seamless nature is part of the attraction.

                Just sharing our 2 cents I figure, I'm sure Giles is more than happy to disregard our idle waffling rather than take it to heart. I hope so anyway..

                The length thing seemed worthy of mentioning, especially as it is a company than prides itself on offering super-duper long jeans than super-duper tall people can wear.  My 6'5 cousin loves his IH jeans he got on my recommendation, but the XXL t-shirt probably wouldn't even reach down to his belt.  It's only a pity cos we all want to buy the maximum amount of IH goodness 😎

                  We do long jeans because I specced them.  If I had not, all our bottoms would be 34 inseam.  Inseams can be shortened easily, T-shirts can't.

                    Wait, why would that be the case? This is most definitely my ignorance of clothing modification talking, but it seams (see what I did there? I'll grab my coat…) that it would work the same way.

                      Loopwheel fabric is very stretchy, without the right machinery (which we don't have here) it would be a complete nightmare of a job and I bet we'd screw up as many as we got right…..

                        I just saw you've restocked these and have a question: do sizes XL and XXL still have side seams?

                            Thanks! Does that mean the marl green/red 1720/1721 XL & XXL will also have side seams?

                                    Any plans to restock these any time this year? Got my hands on one earlier this year, and I quickly realized that one is just not enough - this is probably the best t-shirt I've owned.

                                    Hope to see more in stock soon!

                                        Thanks, can't wait! Also really glad that I'm able to pick these up now from a local shop right here in Philly. Really appreciate you guys keeping us USA folk in mind.
