Actually the 127s came up a bit short in the sleeves compared to most of their other shirts. IH shirts are generally consistent in having longer sleeves.

The sleeve length on my 127 is perfect, and consistent with my other IH shirts. I don't like to wear a single cuff on my shirts, and these aren't wide enough to roll up over your elbow. yeah, exactly. The sleeves were good as they were. I guess the IHUKers on average have monkey arms. For the Ape Hangers. |

I think the westerns having pocket flaps give it a more finished detail. The WS are nice but give that same detail on a few like this HBT and it'll look a lot better.

The IHUK fit guide for the IHSH-142 is much different than Rakuten. L works for me with the IHUK fit guide, and XL works for me with the RB fit guide. Hope RB is right.

I like how a lot of the recent shirt releases on IHUK are pimpable. Although I don't know why you'd want to change those snaps on the 142. Those snaps complete that shirt, they are killer.

Thanks devastitis. But through Rebirth I have to proxy right? The last time I did that it was a pain in the ass. |

Thanks devastitis . But through Rebirth I have to proxy right? The last time I did that it was a pain in the ass. Yup, it's a pain in the ass, but you save like $70+ doing it. I have Zenmarket on the 716s, and it says all in all, it's about 22000 yen, which is roughly $200, and the 142s are the same starting price/weight. Still mulling it over, and am going to wait until the 142s come in so I can see what the fabric is like before buying. $200 is more than I'm willing to pay for a pair of chinos, as I can get a 4 or 5 really well fitting pairs of Bonobos chinos or a couple pairs of ePaulet chinos at that price, so the fabric better be extra special. The biggest pain in the ass was the waiting, but I don't think we're in a complete rush to have them in hand, as we have enough things to carry us over. |

I found the 716 in another store (jeansfirst). But, they don't ship outside of Japan. They don't take PayPal, either. It's a good sign other stores are handling them. I'm holding out hope stores like RB, Vari, and Fukuraku decide to carry them, as they do with the 707. |

IHUK is getting them in 7-10 days so if RB does get them it should be this week. |
