Wear a dickies shirt to weld in and get trickling beads of liquid metal bouncing through your shirt and pants. Burns like hell. All the really good stuff to work in is expensive... especially if it is American made, but then it lasts for a while as well. You wanna look good and work hard, ya gotta pay.

It's overshadowed by the desire to get good looking work clothes, I can actually work in and wear around. Basically I need something between Wal-Mart Dickies and this stuff.

And I must confess, right after I added my 2 cents, I decided I no longer cared. The whole topic is a dead horse. The upside? More well made items in the world is good, more well made items made in America is even better. ACL, I was not really aiming my comments at you, just the whole “is work wear a fraud” discussion.

Its costume. Period. That said, I have found that the selvedge denim I have stands up to work far better than the crap they sell at Wall Mart. My KMW 1950's are thick, hard, and totally durable. Assuming that a brand actually does use quality materials and construction- as they all claim they do- there is no reason (outside of price) not to actually wear it. Also, I can't speak to the esoteric Japanese repo stuff but I know brands like Filson are worn by real live workers, not just fashonisitas.

I am visiting NY next week so Barneys and Steven Allen will be my first stops! Great post, thanks for the photos and the info.
