Kenneth Denmark Posted December 27, 2014 Report Share Posted December 27, 2014 When I'm working as a carpenter my favorite brand in workwear is Snickers.. I don't know if you guys in the state know it?http://www.snickersworkwear.co.uk/products/trousers/trousers/craftsmen-holster-pocket-trousers-canvas/?colour=1212 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conductor562 Posted December 27, 2014 Report Share Posted December 27, 2014 My typical attire is an old ratty pair of tiger stripe camo pants, and a TIA or Proto tshirt under a ratty C&O Railroad sweatshirt.I always try to dress to impress, lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Yellow Posted December 27, 2014 Report Share Posted December 27, 2014 I like Snickers. Used to wear Snickers only, but now I'm wearing a lot of Engelbert Strauss. Still some Snickers like socks and thermal underwear. They are good quality and they have some yellow in them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KRK Posted December 27, 2014 Report Share Posted December 27, 2014 I eat Snickers, sometimes if I'm in a rush to eat Snickers, I wear some Snickers.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR99 Posted December 27, 2014 Report Share Posted December 27, 2014 Well it starts with a Festool man thong. It's the only thing they make that I can afford plus they have superior German engineering going on to keep everything in place. Then its probably a TIA t-shirt and some worn in comfy jeans. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisK Posted December 27, 2014 Report Share Posted December 27, 2014 Beat me to it DR. But I finish it off with a skin tight German engineered Festool Tank Top. That's at work.At home in the shop, mostly jeans, comfortable shoes, sweatshirt sans draw strings. I'd like to try the Blaklader but.... I have some cheap knock off Carhart jeans but they shrunk in the dryer. I now where those when I paint. I also have an apron for the shop....sawdust sucks. And YES....it IS Festool!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BK13 Posted December 27, 2014 Report Share Posted December 27, 2014 Jason... Chris... TMI!I wear Carhartt pants almost exclusively. I'm not sized or shaped like a normal person, so they are about the only pants I've found that I can move around in. I used to wear white tee shirts and polos every day, but now I mix it up a little and wear flo orange and green shirts (helps keep me from getting hit when working in traffic) just saw a Blakladder flo yellow raincoat at one of my survey supply companies, and I may see if it's available in 3XL. I wear a SECO survey vest just about every day at work... I may have to take a pic of everything I carry in it, one of these days. Most days in the colder months I wear a flo yellow Willy Boats sweatshirt (still has the drawstrings, though I don't know why). I top it off with a flo orange Carhartt stocking cap whe I'm outside the truck, actually working...I tell ya, I still am amazed that there are a bunch of idiots out there who can still manage to not see a 6'6", 330 lb. guy in head to toe fluorescent safety clothing... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fazzman Posted December 27, 2014 Report Share Posted December 27, 2014 I wear mostly Dickies pants and shirts,they last forever and they dont hold the nasty smells machining metals and cutting oils can leave in your clothes. Plus they are relatively cheap per pair compared to say Carhartt which are really super nice too. I love Carhartt sweatshirts and jackets. Have several TIA Tshirts to throw in the mix too. Im not a big denim fan,they just dont fit right for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

regopit Posted December 27, 2014 Report Share Posted December 27, 2014 I do like my Festool Thong but I wear Duluth bib overalls lots of pockets with the built in knee pads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR99 Posted December 27, 2014 Report Share Posted December 27, 2014 People forget that the Festool thong has built in dust collection so you don't have to worry about crop dusting you co workers at the job site!! Its the polite thing to do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its the polite thing to do.And THATS why I bought them!!!! As dar as Duluth goes I have been wanting to pick up some pants from them. I,just haven't gotten around to it.

Driving a big white van, lit up like a rave, survey crew ahead signs all over the place, and Gigantor in safety yellow and orange doesn't do much good if some delta-alpha is checking e-mail instead of watching the road...

NERemodeling Posted December 30, 2014 Report Share Posted December 30, 2014 Blaklader pants 99% of the time. Carhartt insulated overalls on very cold days, old pair of dickies carpenter pants on days I will likely trash my pants.carhartt coats and long Johns during the colder monthscustom shirts with my logo/business name on themSunrise no one has mentioned shoes/boots yet. I think they are the most important piece of gear you can wear I have been through a lot of different boots, I prefer hiking style for everyday use and the Salomon X Ultra GTX Hiking Boots are by far my fovorite, super lightweight, comfortable and durable. I get them from ll bean so I have their warranty on themfor heavy duty boots I wear a pair of 9" chippewa steel toe loggers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
