I break down essential shirting like this…

1 x denim shirt
1 x heavy flannel
1 x mid weight flannel
1 x spring weight flannel
1 x chambray
1 x wool shirt
1 x short sleeved shirt

With that, and mixing up the colours, you're good for most circumstance.

Edit: As Chris says, regional climate needs to be considered. Where I live we have full 4 season weather, sometimes in one day

Unlike Mega, I get two seasons- hot and oh my God, I'm going to spontaneously combust in about five minutes.  My opportunities to wear flannel, even "spring weight" flannel are limited to times when I travel to colder places (like NYC in October, for instance).  So my shirts are all much lighter- no flannel, no denim.  Even IH chambray is only for winter.

Which should I get?

8301S or 9634

I know this isn't a crazy question but just want your opinion.

I LOVE the 22oz SuperBlack denim but getting a size 36 would make me want to get them slightly tapered.

I haven't tried on the 8301S yet, but probably will this weekend. I'm hoping the fit is spot on and fits fine in the thigh(my only area of concern). I wouldn't mind the fading possibilities of the SBG denim because I don't really work in my jeans. It would take years for mine to fade.

[Megatron1505]

I'm still considering the 8301's too…..or the SExIHxNY 634's, so I guess I would pick the 8301's.

Going to order a new pair of day-to-day boots for office wear, travel and general mucking about in chinos, denim and the occasional tweed pants. I'm pretty much set on white's (bounty hunters or SD), but recently I found out that you can make custom trickers too, so I can make a wide-last pair of cap toe trickers with brown zug grain and a nice sole..

For comfort, longevity and general quality pr money spent, what would you guys go for?

[Giles]

Find out where the custom Trickers are made.  A lot of the new stuff they are doing is NOT made in UK….

Thanks for the heads up! I guess the safest bet is whites. Solid, years of boot per dollar and a safe design.I'm just useless at simple decisions..

[Giles]

That was my coded advice!

[Seul]

The MTO Tricker's would cost you quite a lot more than the White's…

Giles: as far as I know only some of the more recent collabs of Tricker's are not made in the UK... Their regular lines still are...

If 7-11 is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, why are there locks on the doors?
