@pechelman does something similar exist you can share pics of?

Not sure how kosher it is to share the link direct or their photos, but tj has something like this with his chore shirt at the shop Vancouver.

@pechelman ah yeah, the Y2 things. Those are pretty cool

Would love to see the waffle knit thermal offered with a longer body

[sabergirl]

100% this! Longer bodied thermals, please.

I'd really love to try a oiled or waxed CPO... I've been considering waxing one of the CPO's I already have to see what it looks like.

the 266 in 9oz would be awesome

A reissue of IHSH-170 would fly off the shelves - in other words, I’d definitely buy an XL ‍️

i concur!

I'd love to have a pair of bibs that fit me, i.e. with longer shoulder straps.
Maybe there's a pair in my size left in Gosport in September to find out how much is actually missing...

Wondering if there has ever been talk of bringing a mid weight fleece, like 9 or 10 oz, into production? I wear my 14 oz hoodies all the time but I also run kind of hot and as soon as spring rolls around I have to ditch them. I think there would be a market for them (and that market is me).

Given how s**t most umbrellas are (even the ones that claim to be the ‘strongest’)…

IH Umbrella ️ ?

A mixture of cordura/primaloft/brass/other lovely stuff that helps it do its job.
Complete with duck sleeve??

I know…. I know….
I’m in a waiting room.

I’d do @tody one better and say a run of bibs with a longer torso for western bodies—longer straps, taller bib, maybe even higher rise? I know it’s unlikely to happen, but I think a re-design could make these work better. I feel like there was somebody in one of the bib threads that just had a tailor sew some off its onto their straps to lengthen them.

@long_john86 You’re tall so you may survive the roasting and @Alex is running the shop so it might come to fruition.

@Giles has some pretty strong feelings on umbrellas and the discussion is always fun to follow. Let’s see how he plays it today.

[Giles]

Luckily it is not my decision, because I fucking hate them.....

@Giles I hate them too. I have forever, but one moment solidified it for me.

In 2018 we honeymooned in Paris. I had purchased 2 small umbrellas in case we got caught in the rain. I had one in my jacket pocket as it started to drizzle on these quaint as fuck brick streets in the La Marais district. This was my romantic moment... Out comes the umbrella, I open it up and the (brand new umbrella's) frame was busted and half collapsed. I tossed it in the nearest bin cursing and we got soaked instead.

I'd never use one, I'd rather get wet, I personally think they are the world's most evil invention.  Extremely dangerous when you are my height and the people around you have no spacial awareness….

@jordanscollected @long_john86 This is the completely understandable reason for @Giles dislike of umbrellas.

[Tago Mago]

@goosehd 100% agree, sound logic

[long_john86]

@goosehd @Giles Haha I thought this may have been a well trodden path!

As one of my colleagues has remarked who also hates umbrellas: “put your hood up!”

I do like a cheeky umbrella in the bag though, especially if I don’t want to wear an ‘outer’ layer but need a bit of insurance against the ‘sunny Manchester’ weather. It’s grim up North, as they say… but it’s our grim
