From near-extinction in the early eighties, Harley-Davidson rose to worldwide recognition and is still today one of the great, iconic American motorcycle brands. In this insider guide, former Harley-Davidson executive Dantar Oosterwal offers an exclusive look at how Harley-Davidson was able to adapt in an ever-changing world to stay on top and stay in existence. In The Lean Machine, readers learn about Harley-Davidson's secret weapon and go-to formula for outstanding success: Knowledge-Based Product Development. Rooted in Japanese productivity improvement techniques, this method helped Harley realize an unprecedented fourfold increase in throughput in half the time--powering annual growth of more than ten percent. Winner of the 2017 Shingo Prize for Literature, The Lean Machine--which is part business journal, part analysis, and part step-by-step toolkit--takes readers through the day-to-day transformation at Harley and identifies universal change and improvement issues so that companies in any industry can incorporate this game-changing system--with predictably excellent results.

Lightweight Linen Shorts That Nail Summer Comfort and Value
Color: Light Khaki, Size: Medium, Color: Light Khaki, Size: Medium
These cotton-linen blend shorts are exactly what you want when the temperature climbs. The material is breathable and airy, with that slightly textured linen look that fits perfectly in a casual summer setting. They’re clearly designed for comfort first, and they deliver on that without feeling flimsy. The standout feature here is how lightweight they are. These don’t trap heat, and they stay comfortable even during extended wear in warm conditions. The fabric allows airflow while still providing enough structure to avoid looking sloppy. Fit is easygoing and practical. The elastic waistband combined with the drawstring gives flexibility to dial in the fit, and it stays secure without digging in. The 7-inch inseam hits a nice middle ground—not too short, not overly long—making these versatile for casual outings, lounging, or even quick errands. Construction is straightforward but solid for the price point. Stitching is consistent, and the shorts hold their shape well after wear. There’s a relaxed drape to the fabric that works with the style rather than against it. Pockets are functional and positioned where you’d expect, adding to everyday usability. Color is a soft light khaki that pairs easily with just about anything. It has that neutral, slightly warm tone that works well with summer shirts, polos, or even just a basic tee. Care is simple. These do fine in a standard wash, though air drying helps preserve the fabric and maintain the intended fit and texture over time, supporting overall durability for a lightweight garment like this. At this price, the value for money is excellent. You’re getting a comfortable, breathable pair of shorts that fit the season perfectly without overpaying. Overall, these are a solid go-to option for warm weather—lightweight, breathable, easy to wear, and well worth having in the rotation.
