Would someone be kind enough to give a measurement of the neck opening please.
In Medium.

If no one has done this my tomorrow, remind me, I'll be in the office tomorrow morning…..

[Bingo Baller]

Just a reminder for neck opening please.
Cheers 

[Giles]

Hi there.

Really want to get a forum Tee although i struggle to wear crew neck t-shirts where the neck is too tight.
Thanks

The measurements for the tee across the line marked on the photo are 6 inches as it is, and about 10.5inches when stretched.

Hope this helps

Thanks Alex.  Dad

Fantastic fucking T shirt!  Medium fits like a Medium should, not too short, not too tight… just right...  All my Ts are mediums and this one fits perfectly.

This makes it look a little shorter than it is, it's a bit bunched from my hands.

Great stuff - and massively nice fit on those jeans, mate!..

Note to self.
Self,
Don't wash new 75 dollar white tshirt with new 75 dollar indigo dyed tshirt.

[Matt]

Holy shit are you joking???

Well, now you have two $75 pale blue shirts.  Could be worse.

[quinatt]

oh my dear lord. 65 dollar white tshirt! you have to be kidding me. thats a ridiculous amount of money to spend on a tshirt. Ill probably have to buy one.

no seriously, I am the proud owner of 2 new pairs of IH jeans and they are by far the nicest jeans I have ever owned. It is quite clear to me now though that IH is overpriced. regardless though, I will come to own several other IH items in the years to come im sure.

but 65 for this tshirt!?? why??

[jbphoto23]

quality materials, solid construction, vintage methods, business overhead, t shirt design, wages.

need more?

2 posts = don't come in questioning business practices and prices

also, I have a hard time spending more than $20 on a t-shirt, but I have the 2011 indigo forum tee. Everything changes once you put it on. It's no Hanes t shirt thats for damn sure.

You forgot exchange rates and import duties.

Currently the yen is stronger against the dollar than it has been in years, so even if all other things remain the same, prices on our end keep going up.  Buyers in other countries have other problems; Germany taxes cotton goods at some outrageous level.  Check the Samurai thread where Beautiful Freak lays out how the government crushes them.

EDIT: as for being overpriced, well, that's a matter of perception.  IH gear is comparably priced for its market segment.  If you don't want to shop in that particular segment, then don't.  None of us like the cost, but we're willing to spend that much because we believe the clothes are worth it at some level.  If you don't, that's fine.  There are many and more alternatives out there.

Personally, I love the IH tees.  The loopwheeled Shitamachi body shirts have a wonderful weight to them without being oppressively hot or heavy.  They're super soft and comfortable, and the construction quality is beyond question.  If Haraki-san would make more, (additional colors, more prints, etc.) I'd buy even more.
