Thanks for the response Seul. I've never worn heavyweight denim though and from what I've read I'm not sure I could handle 25 oz. Would the 18 oz as used on the 666S be the next step down from that, warmth wise? Forum members seem to think the 18 oz is warmer than the more breathable 21 oz.

23oz is the tightest weave, used on some Self Edge collabs. The 25oz gets quite soft, quite quickly, that would be my recommendation.
-
Just to add another option: The 19oz LHT is fairly windproof as well.
-
Thanks guys.
I think the TW-666N 17oz will probably be my first Works Inc trousers but having some extra warm ones too would be nice.

Yup, 18 warmer than 21.

Seul, after literally a whole minute of looking, I can't find it. If you haven't already, probably your best bet is to send an email to SelfEdge.

So I'm pretty ignorant about boots and shoes. My nicest pair are some Allen Edmonds brogues. I wonder if someone could shed some light for me about prices. Why, for example, are most Vibergs $150-$300 more than say Alden's boots? Alden is similarly a historic company who makes top notch stuff. Is it just that Viberg is smaller? $500 for a pair a boots is a lot, but it's worth it for quality make, like Alden. I just wonder what justifies coming close to a grand? I'm asking this excluding collabs since I suspect those are pricier for obvious reasons.
I know there are a ton of factors that go into determining the retail cost of a boot, I'm just curious to know why I should buy the more expensive over the slightly less? (Setting aside aesthetic differences, I'm talking quality, materials, etc, not one style as opposed to another). Ready…go! I'm ready to be schooled.
