Welcome to 2010!

2009 was a good year for Thick as Thieves and 2010 is starting off well so thanks to everyone for their support.  Some of the changes this year include some small tweeks to the general pattern that should address minor fit issues that some guys encounter, primarily adjusting the armhole shape so that it is still on the higher side but also to facilitate movement and not be as tight on larger deltoided fellows.

-A website design update will happen sometime sooner than later, with more detail photos that will hopefully answer some common questions about what things look like.

-The self measure page will soon include a link to a video that will have me measuring someone so you can visually see for yourself how I would do it.  I'm sure this is something a lot of you want so it will be on the priority list to have done very soon.

-New fabrics will be added as we get closer to spring.

-One of the most frequent questions I get asked is if I make shirts, especially a solid white shirt?  No, and while I don't have any immediate plans to do so I am trying to work out some details with shirtmakers who are already making awesome shirts that I highly endorse and wear myself to do a "Thick as Thieves" collaboration of sorts that will start off with a good basic white shirt which can be worn with the suitings.  The price will be accessible to nearly anyone and the quality of the shirt is guaranteed to be of the level that you'd usually find in shirtings that cost double or more.

Hope everyone has a great 2010, updates as needed will be posted here.  Thanks again for the support!
