Jeans

Different high vis shirts. I was tired of wearing out my cool band ts so i bought work shirts. I look more professional than my boss now, that fuckin polack.

Not that. Just those neon green things evey trades person wears.

In winter Dickies work pants usually black or duck brown. With some flannel sleep pants under them if its real cold. In the summer wrangler riggs pants in black or khaki because they are thinner and breathe better in the extreme heat.

T-shirts, mostly from 6 dollar t's. And a hoodie sweatshirt or two if its cold.

>>2909832
Duluth firehose pants are nice, though every pair I get already has some loose threads. Those little Chinese kids need some raps across the knuckles so they tighten up their stitching.

>>2909745 (OP)

Part of the reason I like Duluth is that their returns are great...just bring your loose-seamed pants in and they'll let you grab a new pair. I've done this, hassle free.
>>2909995
My company reimburses orders from RX Safety, and I've liked the few pairs I've gotten so far.

Any suggestions on work boots for semi outdoor in places with a lot of snow? I'm having a hard time finding something that's waterproof and comfortable enough for standing on concrete most of the day (no giant wellingtons please). Also low enough that driving is still comfortable as well.

I’ll take the vest over a full reflective shirt.

My forner employer decided it would look good on their ESG score if they got safety yellow uniforms made out of recycled plastic bottles. They felt like wearing a scratchy hockey jersey all day and were hell in the summer

Do yourself a favor, and get a couple pairs of BDU pants. Bonus pointsif you can find them in the classic woodland or chocolate chip patterns. You got extra pockets, ripstop fabric, a patern that hides stains, and even extra straps to adjust the fit. I had a pair that i wore for like 10 years before the crotch finally ripped. 100% the best work pants I've ever worn.

>>2910672
>dickies. have never blown a pair out
I have, but I'm real hard on pants. I burn the stitching out welding and grinding and then sometimes the crotch seam will rip. I'll re-stitch that one, and then the thigh area will get thin and tear. Honestly they're still pretty dang good for the money. I'm the guy above that wears them in the winter and then switches to the Wrangler Riggs in the summertime because it seems they breathe a bit better so I don't get swamp ass as badly.

Either Noble Outfitters hammer drill pants or key bowman flex, plus hi vis ariat tshirts with the long tail so I'm not showing off my ass crack at everyone. Red wing king toes because I have clown feet and they're the only thing that's comfortable.

>>2909745 (OP)
FR shit that is either paid for or provided by the company. When I get to choose, I go with:
>Ariat FR M4 Bootcut jeans or canvas pants
>FR Carhartt or Tyndale henley
Or
>FR Carhartt or Tyndale button down with a non FR Carhartt k87 as an undershirt
>Darn Tough socks
>Hoffman Powerline boots or Double-H Cowboy boots
>>2909809
I'm never ashamed of the vest. FR Hi Vis costs more. I can get between 2:1 and 3:2 Normal VS Hi Vis FR shirts, then wear the vest the company gives me. Gotta make my quarterly allowance go as far as I can.

They're called overalls because they go over everything

I don't wear any branded work wear and I get laughed at all the time and the boss took me aside end told me I needed "professional" work wear.

I fucking hate society

>>2911919
Lmao look at his povvo cunt

>>2911919
That the boss thinks you look unprofessional probably has nothing to do with your coworkers ribbing you over your lack of branded clothing. I also go out of my way to buy unbranded clothing and nobody has ever said I look unprofessional, nor have I heard it said about other people.

Motorcycle pants (Cargos made from highly abrasion resistant fabric, chinos from the same stuff when I have to look presentable), t-shirt, denim shirt if it's cold, company-issued steeltoes.
I don't do much physical work, though. 99% is calculating stuff, checking that the tradies are doing their job properly (they often do not...) and making adjustements on the machines' software. So while I'm working in the same places, I can avoid the worst jobs.

>>2909745 (OP)
company polo
jeans
merrell 1trl moab speed gore tex or some instapumps (i mainly work in office or go around server racks)
utility belt with marsupium if outside my cubicle
my trusty harwin pen on the sleeve pouch of the polo

Redwings and Carhart. Some Eddie Bauer thermals my mom gets me for Christmas.
The lined jeans are a godsend. During winters. Pic is me. I’m own and drive a semi. And yes I’m better than you.

volcanologists collect lava samples to get an idea of what's going on inside the volcano.
for example, if the past 30 years of eruptions have been generally the same mineral composition, and then a more recent eruption is different, that might tell us that there's a new and different magma pocket feeding the volcano.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f4vTo2STKKw

same type of gear is also used in industrial forge settings where there's a risk of splashing metal or hot water.

A long sleeved button up with hoodie and cargo pants I pick up at the clearance rack because I need something to keep the crap off and not worry about ruining with the inevitable stains.

A much heavier tool belt than pic related. I do networking and CCTV and the special purpose crimpers and termination tools just keep on accumulating. Carrying a basic set of electrician's pliers and screwdriwers just in case probably doesn't help either.

sweats or shorts depending in the weather, fuck uniform regulation or what the boss says I need comfy...."work pants" are for arborists

>>2909745 (OP)
some cheap ass grey gildan shirts you can buy 5 for $20

revolution race pants, backpacking/active wear/camping dunno what theyre dempgraphic is. kinda pricy. stretch in the knees and butt. but after 2 years the only thing failing is the stitching on a front pocket where i clip a tape measure or utility knife.

a long time jean person but would always blow out the knees with in a couple of months

when its real fucking hot adidas shorts

when its real fucking cold insulated and or felt inserts for the shoes/boots are nice.

there is not a single person at my job that carries a bag all day because it's retarded. we walk and climb all day. you asked where i live and i won't tell you but if you want to know the climate it is subarctic or tundra (koppen) depending on where i am, so no, it never gets hot here

Whatever chinkslop is cheapest. They are going to get destroyed sooner or later so worrying about durability is less important than being able to replace them cheaply and quickly. I punch holes in the wrist and throw and extra pair on a carabiner so I can clip them to my belt and snag a new pair at a moment's notice.
>Papé CAT cap
My dad used to work for Papé as a machinist back in the day when they were more than a glorified dealership for chinkslop. He won a raffle at a company party back in the 1970s and as the joke the prize he got a pallet of Papé CAT trucker caps. I have been wearing these lil niggas pretty much every day of my life.

Whatever reputable yellow and blue long cotton drill, whatever good thick socks and Mongrel 561s

First pair of Thorogoods, 5 weeks in. Break-in was rough; bruised ankles. they're amazing now. mink oiled them last night, boot shop did it for me the day of purchase.

Roundhouse double-knee duck work pants. repaired outer knees with leather patches. Going on 4 years with this pair. they're pretty worn out. having to debate further repair VS. scrapping for material to start patching & repairing other pairs I own. the primary issue is at the top of the double knee, where it becomes a single layer. unsure if the fabric can withstand/support a repair stitch without just ripping through during wear.

Jeans (whatever brands I find on clearance)
Black cotton tee shirt from those multi packs
Ariat steel toe cowboy boots

Plausible denialability when the office workers show up to check on all the degenerates

Black slacks my company provides. Sturdy as I accidentally caught the end of metal strapping once and made a tear. I would have needed stitches otherwise.

As for tops, it looks like >>2909817 but all day glow yellow for extremely high vis. The company hasnt given me short sleeve variants like when I was first hired a few years ago, so I wear a shirt with the company branding. It's too fucking hot to wear long-sleeve anything for 3 months.
