TL/DR: I wear Wrangler Cargo Pants and shorts. and Red Head or Wrangler Shirts
This a kind of a long story. I'll hit the highlights.
The first factory I worked in was a sheet metal fabrication shop. My work clothes lasted
at best a month before they were ruined. I started shopping at a Goodwill store that sold clothing by the pound.
After I left there I went to work in a factory that issued all of their employees uniforms. They said they did it
specifically to eeliminate any drama over clothing choices.
That made sense to me. I also liked the simplicity of not having to decide what to wear every day. When I left that factory I bought five sets of Blue Dickie's work clothes and that's what I wore. When I became a security guard I was back in a uniform and I enjoyed the same benefit of not having to decide what to wear to work. The only change I made to my uniform was to buy black Wrangler Cargo pants to wear instead of my crappy uniform pants. I chose the Wranglers
specifically bbecause of the phone pocket because it made carrying the company phone much easier.
About 7 years ago I decided to do the same thing with my street clothes. I went out and bought five pairs of Wranglers (based on how well they worked with my security uniform) and five Red Head and Wrangler shirts. I also bought a few long sleeve Wrangler/Red Head shirts for wear in the winter.
I put all of the clothes together in outfits and hung them in the closet. Now I simply grab the next set on the hanger.
Winter Clothing and Shoes.
I think I've talked about this before. This is where I used to work.
If you look on the far left side of the photo that white line is the top of the office building.
It was a great place to work especially when I was there by myself but if you notice there are no trees and there was absolutely nothing to stop the wind.
Same place in the winter
I know it doesn't really show in the picture but those are fox tracks going up that hill.
Long story short, my second year there I decided to take the opportunity to try out different cold weather gear and boots.
I ended up with Belleville Boots for my boots. They are the most comfortable boots I've ever worn and they are water proof.
SERIOUSLY waterproof.
I really like Cabela's Windshere Fleece and I use the USGI ECWCS Long Johns for winter clothes and a ECWCS Fleece coat.
Last thing I use USOA milspec socks. They are a cotton poly blend. They are moisture wicking and antimicrobial. I pay 4 dollars a pair for them
