        1. Why do you not do more stuff for ladies? Are they just not interested or?

        Most ladies I know look great in our stuff…Paula and all the Japanese female crew look great in it and it is practically all they wear....

            My classmates are like: "I wanna buy or build a house, live there with the wife, make kids, plan the future…"

            I am like: "I want a vintage Harley after we finished school and wanna live in a small flat with my denim and records. Oh, and I wanna be a rockstar. Of course with a fully tattooed body."

            They always look at like I am weird alien from outer space. Am I really a strange weirdo?
            😃

            Yes you are @JCMx800. Why do you want a Harley? 😉

                  Forgive me if this question has been asked elsewhere:  Why are the labels on the IHSH111, IHSH112 and IHSH113 different than the usual IH labels (ironed on vs. fabric)?

                      Giles, what are the chances of the 666-XHS in tagsize 35" being restocked, say in the course of 2015? Or is this something that can be specially obtained from Japan?

                        Japan don't stock any 35.  I don't think I will get 35 made in these again.  I have to do a minimum of 15 when I do 35 and hardly any retailers want to stock 35's

                          Bollocks. In that case I've got some fit questions about these, but I'll move it to the correct thread… As always, thanks for taking the time.

                              I've always found that weird. On the one hand you rarely see 35 tagsize, on the other hand when someone does go the extra mile and make something in 35 they always seem to be sold out. Also I hear all the time that guys want 35 tagsize.  I guess it's fear of stock just sitting there. If you sell the 35's maybe you don't sell the 36's…

                                I checked many of IH's latest Releases and thought often, that a 35 would be the ideal size for me. I know that most brands don't do them, but always wondered, why it had to be between 34 and 36 to split sizes while going down to small sizes without that difference. Is it just common practice or is there a good / historical reason for it?

                                  I know exactly what you mean. And that's a good questions. Because on the face if it, it just seems like big guy prejudice [emoji1]

                                      Same for me. 34 is often either too slim in the thigh or the top block is too small, even if the waist is ok ish. 36 is usually ok, but the top block is a bit big and I am relying on a belt.

                                        I'm not accusing IH of big guy prejudice. You make the occasional 35" which most don't,  as well as 3xl's and so on. One of the many reasons I'm a fan boy. But I'm also interested as to why it's standard practice across the clothing industry to drop 35"..

                                          I don't know.  H released IH-634S in 35 a few years ago.  No western retailers took them, and take up was so slack in Japan, he did not make them again…..Well, until I asked, but even then, he does not stock any himself..

                                            ^It's likely that the difference between 1 inch at 34-36 is less of an impact than 1 inch @ 30-34.
