Was that place VF Factory Outlet Store? Thats where I always shopped for work clothes, best prices anywhere. Shame they went out of business.What does everybody usually work in? for ME...
Its usually dickies work pants or ripped/greasy jeans and a workshirt over a T-shirt.
There used to be a place where I could get dickies work pants for 18$ a pair... so I have at least 10 pairs of them... Actually, I wear these all the time but I have 2-3 pairs that are trashed that I use specifically for the garage. I always have at least one pair and a workshirt hanging up in the basement by an old pair of shoesfor me to change into real quick when im working.
I have found that welding sparks/slag burns little holes in dickies a bit easier than jeans, which start to singe instead of melt through, so I need to be careful with those. However I figure once you weld in ANY clothing they are pretty much commited to being shop clothes. Grinding sparks arnt a problem, just welding spatter/slag. What do you welders work in? Big leather coveralls dont really make much sense for me because Im not welding for a full 8 hours, but I need a bit of protection because those little tiny burns get old after a while.
Are there any work pants or jeans in particular that you guys have found hold up best in a shop environment? I have NEVER ripped a pair of dickies or even poked a hole in them, and the ones I work in are a few years old. For a while Id outgrow them before they would wear out but thats about over... I think im done growing haha.
So what about you guys?

Coveralls- so regardless of what I might have on I can quickly put on coveralls that can easily cover clothes and protect from flame and spark.
They’re Carhartts-
I remember way back when (knee high to a grasshopper) my uncle wore those lightweight cotton coveralls all the time- it was as if he had no other clothes. He was a machinist- and had those heavy denim like coveralls that were pinstriped.
