        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!

              About 12oz - it's serious shit…

                  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. 
                      !2oz!! Jesus tap…

                      Those are my principles, and if you don't like them…
                      Well, I have others.

                        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.

                              I think the fabric was suggested by me (Same fabric as the now deceased IHJ-36). Shirt looks AMAZING, and I love the contrast. Tonal stitching makes it look less workshirt, and more "Construction foreman that wears 'work clothes' but has 0 intentions of doing any work".

                                            You're right of course, it'll be a quality shirt in a wonderful material, but the devil is in the detail, and for me the contrast stitching really takes the shirt from good to great.

                                            Edit: also on a personal level, given the number of blue/indigo IH shirts I have, something stand out will always encourage me to part with my dollars.
