      @nietenhosen:

      didn't know if asked before, but anyone have an explanation ih-shirts get an blue/white or an black/gold tab?
      is it the weight of the fabric?

      When I spec a shirt, I choose which I think will look best and Haraki the same  - no more complicated than that

        What does anti fit mean?  I'v come across it during my extensive searching on the forums.  Oh and what does trolling mean…I read it on sufu. Some guy claimed somebody to be trolling.

              Anti fit means it looks like you shit your pants (even without sagging them). Typical of 1930s and 1950s cuts.

                    The Self-Edge sale is terrifically tempting, 16ss or DC4001?

                    With the 16ss, SE says its raw and will shrink, IHUK says minimal shrinkage.  The measurements of the (S) at IHUK are exactly what I need post-wash 16.6 Shoulder, 40.2 Chest.

                    I bought a secondhand 16 in a (S) and it was wickedly tight.  So I have two questions:

                    1: Is the fabric for the 16ss raw?

                    2: Were different runs of fabric used to make the 16 and the 16ss?
                        -on the 16: "They have been pre-rinsed so there will be a little shrinkage, but very max of half a size."-Giles.

                      Answer to both is no.

                        from a functional point of view, what purpose does a leather front/back yoke serve on jackets/vests?

                          thewickett for sh!ts & giggles i will put my madmonday logic to your question.  hopeful someone with real world experience & a knowledge of history will give a "proper" reply.

                          the leather front/back yoke serves as reinforcement and makes the item stronger in that region.

                          again totally based on madmonday logic so you know  😞

                            yeah, that was my thoughts as well. Just wasn't sure if there was a more specific reasoning. Either way, madmonday logic is more than welcome.

                              Also I believe it's cheaper and probably easier to make a jacket with yokes (easier, ie to get buy whatever big enough pieces of uniform leather to make the backpiece.)  Just guessing here

                                  I would assume attention is currently on the relaunch of TW, but also interested.
