I mostly wear Wrangler geans from Walmart. Good ones when I go out, grease stained ones when I work. I wear mostly button short sleeve shirts. Arms, have a good tan color. So my wife decides I need a pair of shorts. I have never in my 70 years owned shorts, except when maybe when I was little. I told my wife I didn't want the things. So to keep her happy I tried them on. The first thing she said was, your legs are sure white. That did it they came off, and they went back to the store today. Stan
 
I wear jeans most of the year, shorts in summer unless I am doing something like running the chain saw where they are not handy. I get all of my clothes except my shoes, socks and underwear from the Salvation Army and other similar thrift stores. I need 34x36 jeans so often I can only find one or two pairs at a time(or sometimes none), and we only go to the city about 4 or 5 times a year typically, so I always go to a couple of thrift stores when I'm there.

I wear as little as possible... Summer is shorts of some kind that are unrestrictive (no jeans shorts with a belt), sleeveless or no shirt, and usually a rubber garden clog. Have velcro strapped safety shoes that I keep in the car and a pair near the tractor... A lot of times in summer I just have a pair of flipflops on...
Winter time, I keep the body and feet warm and the arms as free as possible...
 
I'm with you Stan - no shorts EVER! And I buy my clothes from the thrift store too and really don't like the wife/kids getting me new clothes for some occasion - bothers me to have them spend that kind of money.
 
I dont shop at Walmart. (hate the place) besides there isnt one of them stores for 25 miles from my house.

I wear Tractor supply jeans and tube socks.
 

For work and everyday, key carpenter style jeans, fruit of the loom grey pocket tee, red wing work boots and a ball cap. In the fall and winter I wear a snap up long sleeved denim shirt over the tee shirt.

My go to town getup is wrangler jeans, button up shirt, short or long sleeved, and double H boots.
 
Summer is shorts and t shirts unless I go out to dinner.Than I wear pants and a shirt.Winter I usually wear flannel shirts and jeans with a hooded sweat shirt.I try to keep it simple.

Jeans here with a cotton shirt
My Darghter got me some shorts about 25 years ago - There still in my dresser. I told her "It ain't gonna happen".
 
Jeans everyday when cool. Above 55F shorts. T-shirts, sweatshirts when its cools. Boots, almost always boots, I always seem to be stubbing my toes, dropping something on my feet.

Jeans and pocket tee, unless I gotta go someplace kinda fancy, then its still jeans, but a wrangler snap shirt. I get jeans at TSC or orschlen, but have been known to pack jeans, shirts and jackets home from the landfill.
 
I too wear Roundhouse Bibs. Wore Key brand for years, but they went to zipper fly, and I didn't. I wear "shorts", about knee length, while walking. My old yellow Lab and I have walked over a thousand miles in the last two years. (shed around 70 pounds in the process)
 
I'm 60 and I wear shorts everyday even in the winter.
Summer will find me in shorts or swimming suit (shirt and shoes optional). If I am working in the sun definately a button down shirt and tennis shoes.

Winter I will wear jeans and boots if I have to. When I get home, it's back to shorts, T shirt and barefeet.

I like to be comfortable. Usually the shorts around the house are drawstring. I will wear dress shorts and shirts to go to church, along with my sandles.
 
Dickies bibs and cut off shirts, When I do go places that I have to dress for everyone wonders why I dont have dress bibsLOL
 
I wear jeans and pocket tees. Last I wore shorts was about 30 years ago and then only because my wife hounded me. We were on vacation at some beach in South Carolina where her sister lived. I got such a bad sun burn that I spent the next 3 days in the house. My legs ached like a tooth ache.

My old farm buddy wore long sleeve Dickie shirts year round.
 
Blue jeans and long sleeve button shirts.Lace up work boots.Ball cap in spring/fall/winter or straw'cowboy'hat in hot summer sun.Shorts and sandals?No f...in' way!
 

I ware rentals (uniforms) 7 days a week,,, summer shorts sort sleeve shirt,,, winter pants and long sleeve shirt... I have worn them so long I am uncomfortable in anything else.... It makes me mad for them to upgrade I despise new clothes... :twisted:
 
Worn out jeans. My new ones never stay good long so I try not to wear them. I wear all kinds of shirts. In the cold months my jeans with holes get packed away and a dickie coat (you guys have them right?) goes over my shirts around home or a carhart type canvas jacket for work and fancy stuff.
 
Blue jeans and a grey t in summer. Jeans and a flannel in winter. Haven't wore tennis shoes or shorts since high school basketball. Wife finds what she can secondhand. for the rest I am a loyal K mart shopper
 
Spring/summer always a pair of blue jeans and a gray T shirt all day every day and tennis shoes. When it gets cooler out the same thing with a long sleeve shirt over the top. I do not worry if the blue jeans show some grease etc I figure I dressed up when I was in the navy but NEVER again and did not even get married in a coat and tie the last time still dress blue jeans and a nice shirt and that was it
 
Carhart shorts in nice weather. Carhart jeans in the winter. Lots of t shirts in the summer, flannel in the winter. Coworker asked me one time if the local radio station issued a flannel advisory in the winter.
 
Summertime is always shorts, unless I'm doin somethin that REQUIRES long pants. All with button up short sleaves. Winter is Carharts and tee shirt, usually a Henley, and maybe a hooded sweatshirt. Vest if it's REEAAL cold.
Footwear varies from sandals to lace-up work boots.
Straw hat in the summer ball cap in the winter.

I get used rental uniform type pants, much cooler and more comfortable than jeans for me, and they are cheap and last a long time. Tee shirt in the summer and flannel in the winter.
 
If I am lounging around you will find me in shorts. When I go out to work on my iron I wear bibs and short sleeve shirt of some sort. I have a new pair of bibs I wear if I go out on the town. In the winter I pretty much dress the same but put on a heavy coat. When I was able to work in the factory I walked around year round in Steel toe shoes, shorts and a t-shirt. Rarely had a coat at all.
 
Lee jeans , short sleeve button work shirts of light colors and when the cool and cold weather sets in the short sleeves get shoved to the back of the closet and the long sleeve flannels come out then the Carharts .
 
I found every pair of wranglers I get from walmart all fit different. I converted to the standard Dickies work pants. They last a couple times longer than jeans and are more comfortable. Then a t-shirt.
 
I go commando under blue jeans or military utilities year round. (That's USMC nomenclature for fatigues.) Can't help it. I was in Nam.

Tee and Polo shirts come new from eBay bulk sellers. Every few years, I will order 10 of them for around $20 total including shipping. Local deep discount store also has them for about $2.50 each.

Winter wear is Carhart arctic gear. Ankle high boots for all seasons. Used pairs from eBay for no more than $20.

I have a couple of suits and sport coats that my mother bought me as a teen. I haven't worn them in 50 years but they should still fit.
 
Key Imperial (The Aristocrat of Overalls)
Informal, no side buttons buttoned
Semi-formal, one side button buttoned
Formal, both side buttons buttoned.

And a t-shirt.

And sneakers.
 
Jeans year 'round with a T-shirt if I'm doing yard work or working on machinery, with a jacket or coat to match the temp.in winter. (I don't like shorts when I'm working) but shorts when I'm lounging. Regular shoes most of the time but if I'm working in a rough, overgrown area I wear a pair of lace up boots. (This summer I have tried to wear long sleeves and a straw hat when mowing or working in the sunlight) Can't be too cautious, you know.
 
There's a cheap brand of jeans called Full Blue that fit me best. I'm long in the inseam so most of the popular brands don't give me enough room between the crotch and waist. Blue chambray work shirt on the top. For casual it's shorts and sandals. Just started wearing sandals, for going to town, at least, and I love them. They aren't much good walking in gravel, tho.

In the winter it's Carhartt flannel lined jeans and heavy blue denim shirts. Sorry, no sandals in the winter!! Jim
 
Rustler jeans from Bi-Mart, $8.99 at christmas time, a fruit of the loom T-shirt, short white socks and leather Addidas. Only shorts I ever wore were knee out Rustlers I cut off. I have a black pair of rustlers for weddings, funerals and church with a long sleeved old west style cowboy shirt I wore when I got married 36 years ago. I have a pair of Danners if out in the rough and wet....James

Diamond gusset jeans when i have too; otherwise shorts. I even have Diamond gusset jean shorts.
 
Pocket tee and jeans, redwing lace up boots, pioneer "free" cap. Just recently started wearing duluth trading long tail tee shirts, and got a couple pairs of their fire hose dungarees. I like their stuff really good so far. The dungarees are supposed to be tough enough they "dare you to wear them out"...challenge accepted.Their stuff is a bit pricey but the fit is better I have found and they don't seem to discriminate against chunky tall dudes like this guy as much as seemingly all the farm stores in our area does.
 
Working around home in the summer where nobody sees me I were jeans with the knees out. My knees get tanned pretty well by the end of the summer. Do a search on U tube for I just don't look good nak'd anymore. There is a cool vid with old tractor pictures but yt blocks the link.
 
Bib overalls with a white T shirt and red bandana.

Steel-towed boots and John Deere socks.

Straw hat with John Deere hat band.

Safety glasses and gloves.

Long sleeve white shirt when out in the sun on a tractor for long periods of time.
 
Wardner, is that your last name and is your first name Joe? If so, I think I remember you from about 1972 in San Diego.
 
Summer it's usually shorts, T-shirt and barefoot in the garden. On the tractor I put on sandles or tennis shoes. Spring, fall, winter jeans and a sweat shirt and rubber boots. Cutting brush etc. I switch to jeans and boots.

Round House bibs seven days a week. I keep a new pair of Round House pin stripe bibs back for slip on and Sundays, or for casket duds if necessary. Keep a clean Oliver cap back for slip on needs and Sundays.
 
Sam,

It's my first name but it is a family surname from my mother's side. I should be related to Joe Wardner as the name is not very common. All Wardners in the USA descend from one man who immigrated to New England in 1751 eleven generations ago.

I don't know Joe but could probably find him in a geneology or a quarterly newsletter called "Wardners in America".
 
Pocket t shirt jeans and boots. Ive worn this attire my entire life, hooded sweat shirt in the winter. I never was one to follow a fashion trend. For the past ten years or so shorts and sandals in the summer when I"m not working, shorts are comfortable who cares what you look like.
 
wear rentals also dickies jeans and blue cotton shortsleave summer long in the winter most comfortable you can get
 
Well yeh... your legs are gonna be white til you're out in the sun a few times. I wear shorts all the time during the summer, even while working in the brush cutting firewood. So my legs get scratched up, who cares? Once used to shorts long pants are HOT and miserable!
 
Thanks for the info. Josph P Wardner was one of my drill instructors at San Diego in the fall of 72. We all forget some things but you don't forget your DI's name. lol
 
Been wearing Dickies blue uniform pants since high school in 1978. At that time I worked for a contractor doing construction, etc. After one day of squatting on the roof with with my blue jeans bunched up behind my knees I knew I had to find something softer. That and working as a mechanic has me in "blues" every day. I told my wife when I die you can put me in a suit but fold up my best blue uniform and put it with me somewhere so all can see.
 
WTF????? Are we now turning this into a fashion forum????? Darn the next thing you guys will all be shopping for a man purse with Dave2!



Just teasing! :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:


But so I don't feel left out.......

Sgt Lusk was mine at Parris Island in spring/summer '65. Doubt I ever knew his first name. We weren't good buddies but, of course, I respected him. LOL. Cpl Caldwell and Sgt Pitts were the other two. The first was mild mannered and had a sense of humor. The other could have easily marched us into the swamp if it hadn't been made an illegal training exercise after the Keogh disaster in 1955.

SFC Sims (Gunny to you pin heads)(can't call you Jar Heads.....you can put something in a jar)(told to me by Marine SSG Davis when we were instructors together at Ft Knox teaching US Army, US Marine and other officers Armor Tactics) Sfc Sims was infantry, multipal tours Viet Nam, Combat Wounded Vet.....I have undying respect for that man! But I hated him when I was a trainee! You would have thought he was thinking that we would have to fight a war or something like that!
