Not a big brass button on a shirt guy. And pockets on an 11-oz. "shirt" (too light to be called a shirt jac really) seems odd. |

IH seems to have a lot of redundancy in their line up. This looks very similar to the 33--which I've caught myself trying to put my hands in the nonexistent pockets (I got used to them with the 100) lol

They are totally different animals and we'll sell a lot of both.... |

Yeah, lol. It's not just as simple as "ab.c oz fabric will be like this or that". I realized the intricacies in fabric R&D when Giles explained that "This fabric feels heavier than THAT fabric because the warp is spun more tightly than the weft which blah, blah, blah......." I guess that's why people say the 19L feels BULLET PROOF, but the 21oz and 25oz are buttery and soft lol

You aint felt 11.5oz until you have felt IH 11.5oz. Its a nice looking shirt, just saying brass snaps and pockets aren't for everyone, although I see the need for you to offer up something other than the same configurations. |

Sorry, I did not read that in your comment....What sort of "other configuration" are you thinking of?

Have you ever considered a denim shirt jac with donut buttons (like button fly jeans)?

I have been wanting to do a pullover denim shirt/jacket with buttons like that for some time. Levi's did an amazing one mid last century....

I guess that's why people say the 19L feels BULLET PROOF, but the 21oz and 25oz are buttery and soft lol It's not. But you aren't the only chap that understands this, untucked. I have a tightly woven denim workshirt that is 12 oz. and I'd consider it too light for shirt jac purposes. Again, this is all subjective. Style is inherently subjective. When people say "I don't like the look of that," they aren't saying "IT'S AWFUL! BURN IT!" They're saying "I, personally, would not wear that." Nothing more, nothing less. |

Yep, all of this is subjective. To me, 12oz is absolutely shirt jac material. 12oz is right at or just about what a lot of trucker jackets are at, which is obviously a jacket. I'm certain that there are a lot of jackets out there that are 12oz or even just under.

They are totally different animals and we'll sell a lot of both.... The comparison comes from a newbie's perspective, shot from the hip. Just like only relying on "sizes"--without looking at measurements--is a big mistake, so too is superficially looking at a garment and pigeon holing it, without understanding the specifics. Thanks for helping to spread the knowledge, Giles; keep the killer threads coming--even if I'm not able to fully appreciate the subtleties, quite yet  |

What I meant was that it is good that you have shirts that offer heavier snaps, side entry pockets, etc, rather than the same styles with just different fabrics. Although there might not be a need for every customer, it is always good to have options. I have a non IH 15oz denim shirt that I like, but it would be better with the heavier snaps that IH uses. |

Really like the 137. Which one is the 716? And yes I will be all over that blue 137. That's going to be the go to color (blue/brick), looks awesome esp. in the close ups. Can we reasonably assume the measurements of the 142 will match the 134 specs? I thought I remember reading certain products will be UK only, some Japan only, some both. Do we know which ones will be available where? |

I would always look at the fit guide for each individual product. |
