        Looking for some pants for work. I'm in a machine shop so they're gonna get abused. Torn between the 803blk, 816BW, and the 819. Any insight on these is appreciated

          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...

                I looked at them when I placed my order…but I was so tempted by other gear I completely bypassed any work pants at all. I did buy some 708s, they're no longer pants though.

                        The 18oz double indigo is fantastic denim. Loads of character and gets mad soft and comfy.

                            Sold some stuff that was surplus to requirements and can buy something that Mrs Neph is going to hate and that a 44 year old man probably shouldn't be seen wearing. It's between this:

                            And this:

                            https://www.ironheart.co.uk/vests/ihsb-c3-vee.html

                            I tried the C3 on at Kanreki but @Graeme said I was going full viking and that ruined it for me (jk Graeme  😉 ).

                            Truth is I'm torn. The C3 is a little over the top, but not as over the top as the IHV-28. The IHV-28 is absolutely glorious but the C3 maybe has a longer shelf life. And @Giles , saying buy both isn't an acceptable answer, but only because I can't  ::)

                                For you boyo I'd have to agree with the above. Defo C3 all day long - it's a no brainer imo

                                  my vote is for the C3 but only because you're in Norway and it looks warm as hell. I think you'll get more use out of the C3 than the 28

                                    Definitely the C3. The camo vest has a slight look of ''trying too hard'' but the C3 is simply a bad ass mofo that takes no prisoners.

                                      I actually say get the V-28.

                                      Here is my take - you can always get a C3 made custom if needed. And the V-28 is a seasonal
                                      Release.  Plus, the V28 can be worn under your N1, whereas the C3 IS the outward

                                        I would go with the C3.

                                          I remember you trying on the C3. It was fantastic.  And if the wife is going to be mad anyway, make it worthwhile by getting the truly bonkers vest.

                                            She might not even notice the v-28. You will just blend in with the background.
                                            C3 will get noticed.
