How do you find such great finds. LIFE photo archives have some logging images from Oregon that remind me of this post, granted a few decades later.

It may sometimes appear to be too large, but it *never* appears to be too small. It's work clothing, for working in. The current one-size-under look will be something people photographed in it will sharply regret, a decade from now.

I expected to see a lot of bush shirts and plaid shirts. Would the typical "out-of-work young men" in the US submit to this sort of project today? I'm not so sure. Perhaps only under the supervision of armed wardens, maybe. Awesome photos! I expected to see a lot of bush shirts and plaid shirts.
