The RBW web-site has "out-of-stock" indicators for black/black pants,
which as far as I know have not yet been "in-stock"... don't know if
that means they're coming in time for this winter or not; those
indicators have been there a while.

But if the blue-crotch thing is the only thing stopping you, there may
be a MUSA-brand solution in the pipeline. Worth a call to RBWHQ.

Of course, you'll still have the scotchlite patch to mark you. Me, I
don't care. Blue-crotch, green-crotch, shorts, longs, and recently
knickers.... all of cycling pants are RBW MUSA. The only issue I have
with them is that my butternut/olive longs and my olive/blue longs are
billowy enough to develop grease tatoos above the cinch from the chain
well behind the chainrings.

But I don't really care. My "look" has enough intrinsic quirk that the
quirk RBW pants add is marginal. And I kind of like the quirk anyway.
When I add suspenders, I'm a well-fed Frodo.

Yours,
Thomas Lynn Skean
