      I'd recommend a split ring, just for practical reasons.  I bent mine pretty badly by putting my car key on it.

        I have the same issue with my brass chain setup. I use a cheaper split ring to do the dirty work..

                should be too big for you I think…a 48 in TFH is more like a XXXL in IH!...

                    Do you think it would be possible from a technical standpoint to create a western cut shirt out of the 17oz hickory (I'm thinking of a shirt like IHSH-08)?

                      Technically possible, though very difficult and thus expensive.

                              Well considering they are the go to pants for men after jeans and no one here has a pair i cannot see how they will not sell out instantly.

                                For my retailers to make a half decent margin, it looks like I would have to retail them in the region of USD360.  The cost is currently coming very close to the IH-634S.  Personally I have an issue with that as a target price, so unless we can do something about the cost without compromising quality, then I'm going to struggle to justify pulling the trigger.  At USD360, they'll sell, but extremely slowly.  I'd love to be convinced I'm wrong…

                                  I'd say that analysis is spot on.  Personally, I don't think chinos are going to be a strong seller, even at a lower price.

                                    I cannot understand how you can purchase chinos for such a price off the guy you're selling for?

                                      I've actually got the fabric samples out on my desk as I was looking at them earlier.  The fabric is superb, so I am keen to do them.  But unless I can get the cost down (this is the first time I have ever gone to Haraki and said "cost too high, what can we do?), my money is better invested in something that my gut tells me will sell quicker.  I have learnt the hard way, don't let your own taste get in the way of pragmatism…

                                          Shorts!  Same fabric, fewer steps, lower cost, maybe?

                                            Hardly any cost reduction.  Construction essentially the same, just a little less fabric….
