      Re-run it with black snaps and black tags. Should be enough improvement.

        Thanks. I imagine it wouldn't be a slow seller if it was released now…anyway, it's very nice.

          The infamous IHSH-10, of which some shirts had upside down patterns IIRC.

              no!…new colors is the way to go when trying to feck with classics!

                  Unless they're the 44 or 16 or 27 or 46 or 67 ?

                      all i´m talking about is flannels/uhf´s with a nice pattern (i.e.more than 1 or 2 colors)… @Giles
                      and btw. i´m not so sure about the 44, 27, 46 or 67 being "classics"

                        You can't have your cake and eat it.  You can't unilaterally decide what is a classic and what is not.  It's OK if we re-release something as long as it has no more than 1 or 2 colours…..?  I'm confused now....

                          Any chance we're ever going to see different plaids and multi colors in the UHF?

                            This is what I would LOVE to see. After the plain UHFs. Those first. [emoji6]

                                I have an IH related question, for which I'm sure there is a splendid or obvious answer that everyone else is aware of…

                                I'm a 36inch waist.  I always buy 'regular' length trousers and jeans, which is described as a 32 inch (or 31inch) inseam, and a tape measure on my jeans suggests it's 31 most commonly after some washes.  So... why are many sanforized IH jeans 37 or 37.5 inch in the inseam?  Is it so that people have have a super chunky double cuff, or a cuff and a huge stack on top?  Or are IH mens legs simply 5.5 inches longer than the norm?  😉

                                (This is not a criticism, I'm currently employing cuff and stack, and will hem if needs be.  Just interested to learn.)

                                  Because it costs a fortune to make and stock loads of different inseam lengths.  So we make for what we think is a sensible longest leg that we will sell and give people the opportunity of hemming to their exact desired inseam length if they wish…

                                  http://www.ironheart.co.uk/bottoms/chain-stitching.html

                                  It's relatively easy to hem to length, it is impossible to add to length....

                                    While the economies of scale involved in making all your tagged waist jeans in a whole range of lengths (28"-37"?) is obviously the major issue for relatively small producers of jeans I think there's maybe an element of tradition as well @Giles ?

                                    When jeans were being made and sold as workwear at the end of the 19 century and into the 20th they had long inseams for the exact same reasons as they do today. Also until the 30's there was no mass market sanforization so shrink to fit length was the norm. This is how cuffing and stacking started, not as a fashion statement but as a necessity. You needed to do something with that excess denim before washing, and even after washing you probably wouldn't hem it because it's workwear. So I think that aspect is important for some brands and customers as well as the economies of scale issue.

                                      Thanks for the fast reply, @Giles!  Makes sense economically, as even if only 5% have such long legs, it means they could not buy/wear a pair at all if the inseam was any shorter.  Well, assuming the half foot of trailing fabric doesn't put off people from purchasing… didn't stop me did it 😉  If I'm 6'1 and have 6 inches of spare fabric (uncuffed) then I only worry some shorter people have a lot more trailing fabric.  But I guess that's a judgement call made and a number of cuts have a shorter inseam too.

                                      My only qualm with hemming is it makes the leg opening even wider, which might mean you can only stack when wearing boots.

                                        Possibly scrap my hemming argument, even on tapered jeans like the 1955S if I hemmed off a full 6 inches (and I wouldn't) the hem would only rise from 8 3/4 to 9 1/4…

                                          But as @Madame Buttonfly oft says, that 1/2 inch is very important to some people…..
