We know you love IH, but where do you think we can improve?

I am a huge advocate of the stickers…

When I was interning at IHUK in 2014 I got in Giles' ear, pestering him to bring back stickers (I even developed the concepts for the first handful). I pitched the idea thinking they would be sold but Giles thought it would be great to give them away as a gift.

The way I see it, over complicating it by giving specific amounts based on spend or a checkbox just takes the fun out of it. There is no surprise for the customer AND it also adds a little extra stress to the one packing and sending.

I've had first hand experience dealing with the first day of a UHF going live or an out of the blue IH sale, there are so many things to check, double check and even triple check before finally slapping on the shipping label… Making sure you've thrown in six stickers instead of the usual three is just something you don't want to worry about.

The stickers should be a nice surprise, not an expectation.

We won't sell them.  Though I like the idea of offering people the option to say "No Stickers Please".

The latest lot arrived today…...

Yeah, that's about right. (Those new ones are really nice [emoji38])

I too love them and collect them. How can someone be so cruel not liking free stickers?

I guess my heart is made of iron.

IH outerwear lacks a hanging loop… It's such a small thing, but maybe most people don't even think about it at all. At this point, I have five IH jackets/coats, and NONE of them have a hang-loop..... Any particular reason why?

I see what you did there…... lol

Often on heavier clothing a hang loop adds a level of stress to the garment.

Love the stickers. Like finding coins in the laundry.

Now it all makes sense!

I would support an Ombré UHF IHSW-23.

Or a poncho-like pullover…

I think for some future products you could try crowd funding. You kinda do that already by asking retailers for their committment prior to a release, but why leave the public out?

@Giles:

Sorry, we won't crowd fund.  It's not what we do….

[HHPI]

WTF! @Giles replied to my question before I posted it. That's some serious time travelling…

[David_pll]

Will happily take any stickers if people don't want them [emoji51]

Here's the crowdfunding post from earlier in the year that Giles was responding to;

@Hematoma:

I know it's doubtful, but it would be awesome if IH might explore crowdfunding for products that are riskier (in terms of public interest).  I know there are questions of sizing inconsistencies/changes during production, but even if you produced extra, the upfront cost would be lessened significantly.

It has been proposed once or twice in the history of the forum and has been shot down everytime…

[Seul]

Luckily so…

[dylantbmayes]

Amen!

i would really love to see more long staple cotton denim…
my favorite denim of all time is the 19oz (RHT) loomstate used for SEXIH07/BK + SEXIHXINDO16 and there really doesn't seem to be anything else like it from IH or anywhere else for that matter.
the 19oz had that subtle-slub texture without streakyness or heavy loomchatter (of which haraki seems to be the absolute master at creating) and super smooth fading you see on something like the 21/23oz, but unlike the "windproof" density/stiffness of that denim - i can wear the 19oz in both summer and winter with ultimate comfort (just like it's sanforized sister the 21oz).

it would be cool if the descriptions listed what kind of cotton the various denims use (for instance Self Edge describes the NI 17oz as "mid-staple cotton" but AFAIK this site doesn't) and even better some indicator or measure of density ("breathability", etc).
