2016 Ultra Heavy Flannel Planned Release Schedule….

[Jordonf9]

Mmmmmmmmm, crazy check black and solid burgundy! I love purple, maybe get the purple ombre when the time comes.

Just my own opinion here, but I am happy to see the possibility of the length being added back to the sleeves on these flannels! For tall guys like me, length is always an issue.  Usually I have to buy a size up for the sleeves and get the chest tailored.  However, when you are at the XXXL size, there is nothing to size up to and my wrists are still just a tad bare.  Really hoping we get some 27inch and above sleeve lengths for these 2016 Flannels.  Per usual, the color/patterns are stunning!

I can sympathize with those who may have to get their's shortened a bit, but hey, we sometimes hem our jeans, why not our sleeves

Can't wait to see this go live!

I have asked H to lengthen the arms on the UHF westerns.  He did not demure, so here's hoping…..

[Max Power]

While I have pretty long arms, I hope this happens in a reasonable way (XL: around 26"). For instance I rarely wear my black duck type III as the arms are super long and it just looks off. I guess it also depends on how Slim / skinny you are - if you have to size up because of the chest / shoulders chances are that the arms run pretty long.

IMO there's no need for change, but that might just be me.

Damn, damn, damn - I asked H to be completely unreasonable.  I'm trying to limit sales…..

I will second the opinion that it would be nice for the UHF's to be sewn up with longer sleeves but reasonably so as @Max Power stated.  I feel like a broken record when I say this but the fit guide on the 107 is perfect and IMO all UHF's should be sewn up to those measurements.  I too have to size up a bit in the chest to get the right sleeve length with the UHF's released this season, with the 107 it was perfect.  For some reason the 2015 UHF's deviated from that and the fit's changed a bit.

The body on current releases has gotten shorter, too. Fingers crossed for the solid UHF cpos to have long bodies and arms!

All my UHFs are size M (87, 102, 107 green, 130 blue).  The 130 is the only one that's a tad short in sleeve length post-wash, but it really is just half a cm or so.

Given I wear reasonably chunky watches on one wrist and a couple of bangles (one silver, one leather) on the other, sometimes I think the shorter length can actually work better.  However, it's all so marginal that it wouldn't ever put me off a shirt I liked.

Sometimes the level of OCD about IH gear surprises me (and, believe me, I'm pretty OCD ;D), but I guess others can be even more 'particular' about this kind of thing…

The 107 Cut is golden!

[spitfiredealer]

See I prefer the 127 & 130 to my 107. But that could be because I have lost some bulk.

Even thinking about selling it to make way for some of new spring flannels. But then if they are going to have gorilla arms I might just put it on a hot wash

[Bluegrass]

Let's not forget why IH gear has long arms… "Motorcycle Specialties".

I know not everyone who buys IH rides a motorcycle but that is the heart and heritage of the brand.

[grandmasterben]

It may be the heart and heritage of the brand, but what about…

Paisley shirts?

Selvedge and skinny denim?

Longer type 3s?

Those things don't really make sense when considered in the context of the "heart and heritage of the brand" yet they still are prevalent in the range.

If you decide to sell that red 107 drop me a line, if I have the funds available I'll gladly take it.

+1 for longer UHF sleeves

The -127 for example is very borderline

[rocket]

Unless IH is doing long and short variations of shirts, everyone should keep in mind that there need to be a balance in the sizing across all body types to make them work for as much as possible folks. As long as you don't go for bespoke, sizing will always be a compromise…

preach @rocket man

[Surf Monkey]

I agree that the UHFs are a bit too small. I'm just over six feet and weigh 170. I have three large UHF's, each of which is short in the arms and a tad short overall. The XL is too big for me.

My ideal IH Larges are the 07 and the 92 (hickory stripe and hairline duck.) Both fit perfectly. The large UHF's fit closer to a medium in the so-called large size.

[Dstauffer]

@Giles any chance of returning to a "traditional" white colored button, or will these follow suit with the past years' black? If they are black, will "pimping" the buttons be an option for some?

colors look great and I can't wait to see how they turn out!

[Jordonf9]

I would rather have a longer than shorter length. Normally the body is fine, never had a problem with IH length, but the sleeves is a little more of a problem depending on the shirt.

Why I say more than not enough? While say the longest armed guy/gal(say possible in the world) in their size that fits perfectly, the next person with 4" less arms(in the same size) is having a lot of stacking. They can get it shortened by a professional, but the long armed person can't get it added.

That is how I see it.
