      @JDelage:

      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
      https://www.ironheart.co.uk/shirting/ihsh-136.html
      or
      IHSH-75 Indigo 12oz Selvedge Denim Work Shirt?
      https://www.ironheart.co.uk/shirting/ihsh-75.html

      Although 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 have both of these shirts @JDelage  ( heh heh problem what problem? I don't understand) .You can't go wrong with either one.  I'd lean toward the 136 because I love the I-I but @manufc10 makes a good case for the 75.  Either way you won't be disappointed.

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

            75 is a classic. It's often the case that I leave the classics because they're extant and end up never buying them. Imho they're different enough and good enough to buy both [emoji51]

              Pulled the trigger on the last L 136 at Self Edge. Thank you everyone for the guidance.

                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?

                        I 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.

                            This.  It's what I did.

                                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.
