      One pocket. Contrast stitching. And four beers for everyone who disagrees.

              just to clarify I was actual thinking about this, not that only the pocket stitching is made tonal, don't see the point to use diff thread colors within one shirt.

                I think it looks pretty cool but to me it's not a work shirt if it has one pocket.  That being said, if it's going to have once pocket I think tonal stitching would be better.  Looks a little odd to me with contrast stitching and one pocket.  However I think it would look great with two pockets with the contrast stitching.

                It aint getting two pockets.  The whole point of this shirt is that I was asked to make a workshirt with one pocket…..

                  I think the contrast stitching draws the eyes away from the actual shirt material. I think tonal stitching would set it off nicely.

                        I'm on the "tonal-ish" side of the fence.

                        I'm not a fan of orange/goldenrod-ish thread in general (maybe other "contrast" colors besides orange?), although I do indeed recognize its ability to identify flaws in the stitching, which is essential.

                        But, in these pictures, I don't think it is a perfect match for the fabric.

                        What a fabric though  :-*. And bravo on the new shirt design!

                                  In my opinion a Black or  Blue stitching will match even better.
                                  But this beautiful fabric can even hold a fading Indigo stichching.

                                      I think that's well said.. I might have said CHRIST ON A BIKE!! :o  But other than that, nicely put.

                                      Love the contrast.

                                        I vote for tonal stitching. The single pocket is a very nice and unique design, but it seems to offset the "balance" of the entire work shirt. Contrast stitching really brings attention to that unbalance, while tonal stitching would let the herringbone in the fabric take center stage.

                                          I do think that tonal stitching works with the one pocket and this fabric.  It looks nice as shown, but since a one pocket is not something IH has done before, I think it would be nice to have something that sets it apart from a typical workshirt.  I think the tonal stitching would do that.
