    Deluxe Workwear?

    I don't think I'd do that unless they wore out faster than expected. If socks last you lifetime, you aren't wearing them. You certainly aren't wearing them working. That seems abusive of their good will. I have some pretty old socks, but I've repaired them numerous times. Also, irregulars(what...

    Deluxe Workwear?

    I got these today from Marshalls... Not as good a deal as I usually like, but if you get too greedy, you can miss out altogether. @Treeaddict, they have more of the DarnTough tactical socks. It's a bit of money, but you'd be hard pressed to find something better. Great for treework, and...

    Deluxe Workwear?

    I used to have a couple nice Pendelton shirts. Not sure what happened to them. I got those from the thriftshop. Sizing was a little small, but the weaving was exceptional, and the colors were very rich.

    Archeologist! I've actually thought that, but that's a little more disciplined than I'm setup for. Seems to be lots of bookwork, and a little bit of digging. I'm more a scavenger and a junk collector :^D I'd need a partner, cause I'm not artistically inclined, but a hipster shop with junk...

    Deluxe Workwear?

    Deluxe Workwear?

    Most of my stuff comes from the thriftshop, but there's some things I think are worth buying new. I'd kill for an old school filson cruiser vest in waxed tin cloth. The vest I have is ok, but deficient in pockets, and expensive for what you get. There's a waxed vest in Austin's link I like the...

    Deluxe Workwear?

    Yea. I was just thinking of how some things are specified, at least over here. Sometimes you get the general "UK", but with wool especially, "Scotland" will be specified.

    Deluxe Workwear?

    I was greasing my Filson vest, and getting irritated how they've become an overpriced "lifestyle" company for people who want to look like they do real work without putting the work in. They've always been expensive, but I could justify it by the fact they were Americans doing the work. Most of...
