      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.

          Contrast stitching or I'll throw a hissy fit, spit my dummy and chuck my toys out of the pram…

            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".

                    Holy crap this shirt.  I'm team contrast, but I'd probably have to snag this one either way…

                          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.

                                        +1 for contrast! If it was much darker I might agree on the tonal, but as is it's perfect imo

                                          Tonal would be my preference but not a deal breaker.
                                          looks great.
