THIS OR THAT?

I'm having a hard time choosing my next pair of jeans. The ones in the mix are: 666-SII, 666-UHR and 666-S. My perfect pair would be 777-UHR, but that's not happening.
Fit (from best to worst): S, SII and UHR.
Fabric (from best to worst): UHR, SII and S.So, which pair to choose? Should I consider other models as well? 777 looks best fit wise, but not too keen on any of the fabrics.

If I were you, I'd approach it like this. If fit is more important than fabric then 666S. If fabric is more important than fit, the UHR. If they are both of equal importance the SII.
From a personal point of view, I own BB's in UHR, have had the SII tour jeans a long month and have a vest in the 18oz. They are all great denims but very different. The UHR is probably the most interesting but even in a Scandinavian summer they are warm. They do not breath at all. The SII are great fun. I'm seriously considering a pair even though my short, wide legs don't love the 666 cut. The fading, the roping and the texture is just cool. I think the 18oz is the classiest denim of three. Lovely colour and hand on it.
My personal fave IH denim is the 25oz which you can get in the 777, so you obviously don't fancy that one, but no love for the 555 cut or the 17oz natty indigo denim?

Thanks @neph93 - always appreciate your input! The thing is, I'm pretty sold on the 666 cut even though my BKs aren't all that representative of the cut. The tag29 in those fit me so damn well. They're slightly slimmer than the rest, it seems. Lower rise as well. I really like the tight top block of the 666, which I think is slightly roomier on the 555?
SII are probably the front runner atm, but I'm having a hard time choosing hehe. None of them will disappoint though.
I was pushed over by the recent reduction. UHR incoming!

All - I'm in the market for a denim work shirt. Which of the following do you recommend:
IHSH-136 Indigo/Indigo 12oz Selvedge Denim Work Shirt

or
IHSH-75 Indigo 12oz Selvedge Denim Work Shirt?

https://www.ironheart.co.uk/shirting/ihsh-75.htmlAlthough I don't own either shirt I will throw my two cents in. I think you should go with the 75.
I've been wanting to get the 75 for a while now but all the other great shirts keep popping up that are extinct items so I've been allocating my funds for those, but one day I will grab a 75. I think the 75 might be a bit underrated for an IH shirt but for me it just looks so damn good. Simple, clean, classic, tough. Great looking fabric, great buttons.
In my opinion the contrast stitching on the 136 screams a little too loud for my liking. It does look like a great fabric though and I'm sure as it fades the contrast stitching will be more subtle.

I'm thinking of getting the Rizoma tail tidy for my Thruxton. It can be run in two configurations: With a rear light (top), or a licence plate light and a pair of multifunction indicators (bottom).
I'd be using the US licence plate mount, which is a bit more compact, and not fitting the reflector.
I'm trying to figure out a configuration. The options are:
-
Retain the rear light, and fit a set of Rizoma Clubs. This is the set up in the top photo.
-
Retain the rear light, and fit a set of Motogadget M-Blaze Pin indicators.
-
Retain the rear light, and fit a set of Watsen Design LEDs. I don't think that these are CE approved, and so there might be a legality issue.
-
Fit the licence plate light and a set of multifunction Rizoma Clubs. This is the set up in the second photo.
-
Fit the licence plate light and a set of Motogadget M-Blaze Edge multifunction indicators. These would probably be paired with a set of the Pins up front.
The M-Blaze Pin is to the left, and the M-Blaze Edge is to the right in this photo.
The Pins are pretty small. Here they are in situ on a Bonneville.
This is a gloss black Watsen Design indicator. They're also available in a matte finish, which is what I'd go for.
I'm thinking options 3, 4, or 5 at the moment, but am terribly undecided. Anyone got any ideas?

Vintage
https://www.ironheart.co.uk/bottoms/indigo-18oz-vintage-selvedge-denim-slim-straight-cut.html
or
Yenim?
https://www.ironheart.co.uk/bottoms/ih-666s-pd.htmlI had a similar first world problem and opted for the vintage. Mostly because the yenim is so dark.
That said, I saw the yenim at SENY yesterday and it is really impressive. Feels light but with character. i can't rule out picking up a pair now (given that the jeans will never be made again) and rolling with them in future.

I like this one. No significant logic, just think they look cooler.
-
Yenim. It won't be made again whereas the vintage style denim is extant.
This. It's what I did.

816BW, as in brown whipcords aka The WhipIts?.. Made to work in… High rise, massively comfy, and I've worn my pair hard since I got 'm two months ago, but haven't washed 'm once... I just wash off dust and such with a wet cloth and wear 'm again the next day...
By far the best work pants I've ever fondled, handled, or worn... Only downside: can be tricky to find a decent (colour) combo with... White and blue obv work so if you have enough of those, don't even doubt...
