        A single pocket would look better with a tonal stitch, IMO… That herringbone fabric is effing gorgeous though! 🙂

              I like the idea of tonal stitching myself, but I would still buy one with the way it is currently.

                  I'm loving the contrast stitching. Makes the shirt imo. All the details pop including the colour of the fabric as a result. Tonal stitching would mute the entire shirt and while muted can be great, this strikes me as more of a statement shirt.

                    I think it looks pretty cool but to me it's not a work shirt if it has one pocket.  That being said, if it's going to have once pocket I think tonal stitching would be better.  Looks a little odd to me with contrast stitching and one pocket.  However I think it would look great with two pockets with the contrast stitching.

                      One pocket. Contrast stitching. And four beers for everyone who disagrees.

                              just to clarify I was actual thinking about this, not that only the pocket stitching is made tonal, don't see the point to use diff thread colors within one shirt.

                                It aint getting two pockets.  The whole point of this shirt is that I was asked to make a workshirt with one pocket…..

                                  I think the contrast stitching draws the eyes away from the actual shirt material. I think tonal stitching would set it off nicely.

                                        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!
