Wrangler cowboy cut jeans, non pre washed. Last about 3 times as long as any other jeans and less than 25 bucks most of the time at sheplers. Haven't found a pair of more durable jeans.

Used to wear carhartt pocketed tees but the would hole at the pocket top corners and sizing was all over the place. Now I buy Hanes beefy tee. Just as or better durability, better fit and cheaper price and no tag


I have had lots of boots but the traditional red wings are the most comfortable and cheapest boots(when you consider they last 3 years) I have owned. Liked Justin's but after they off shored they hurt and didn't last. Always wanted to try Carolinas but for some reason every time I need a pair of boots the only Carolinas in stock at metatarsal guards

Jackets are carhartt chore jackets.

I just saw a pitch on Dragons Den for ventilated work wear called coolworks made in Canada. Not sure if it is available in the US yet. http://http://www.coolworksworkwear.com/our-company/

This stuff has been out for probably 10 years or so. It's pretty good, but not a whole lot different than most poly mesh stuff. The pants are interesting, because you can zip off the lower legs portions, exposing mesh windows. Its almost as good as wearing shorts when you're not allowed to. I used to wear them when I drove float for a living, but now I do too much gridning and welding to wear anything polyester...

If that's what you wear for what you consider work, you need better hobbies. Or you should stop hosin' Tampa's Ladies...

I wear whatever uniforms my employer gives me. My old uniforms are used for yard and garage work. Carhart arctic extreme coat & bibs, ancient Kaufman Sorel Pathfinder boots (bought them new around 1983) for winter outdoors work.

Interesting. I wonder how that would do under chainsaw chaps?

I bought a pair of Wolverines once and they turned out to be the most dangerous shoes I ever had. The soles were OK in dry weather, but when it was rainy, dewy, or moist at all outside, they were a hazard. We had metal entrance ladders to get in the airplanes and those shoes would not get a grip on the steel if it somebody spit on the ramp. Never again!

most of the time I wear a pair of liberty bibs from TSC. I love the numerous pockets and the depth of them. I am very hard on clothing from grease/grime/dirt, tears to everything else. They hold up very well considering what I use them for. I go thru about a pair a year to 18 months.
I used to just be a jeans/ T-shirt guy until I kept ruining good shirts and new jeans.

Mine are slick. But that's half the reason I bought them, because they were hard rubber. I drag the outsides of my heels when I walk and tend to wear out softer soles very quickly.

I have yet to climb an extension ladder, next Monday we'll see how they feel.

I had Bates "Secret Sneakers" once. They make Wolverine, but they're a little more high end. They were great for wet surfaces in the pharma plant.

Red Wing electrical hazard rated slip on boots

Dickies or Carhartt dungaree pants

I don't wear my tools in the field everyday like I used to, I'm a project manager nowadays. I still wear the RedWing boots, but with a pair of khaki slacks and a golf or fishing shirt to look a little more professional in front of customers.
