THIS OR THAT?

@Dion:

Yenim. It won't be made again whereas the vintage style denim is extant.

This.  It's what I did.

[Seul]

Yeah: first the extinct, then the extant. Duh.

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

[Seul]

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...

[jdl1279]

Sorry E, 816BW as in Black Wabash

[Seul]

So yeah: still think you should just get the brown whipcords… 

[jdl1279]

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.

634sii
Or
Pronto 25oz double Indigo?

[Fadez]

PIH5DCT for sure.

634sii

[neph93]

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

[Cutlasshound]

Haven't tried the pronto, but I have the 634sii and the colour is beautiful

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:

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  ::)

[Boyo]

Neph.. if it were I, i'd get the C-3

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

[Dion]

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.

[Appfaff]

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.

[Chris]

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.
