I'm a Mechanical Engineer by trade, and have gone from Wrenching to welding, to Air Con, and Bodywork.
(Re:Wrench)
But now work in an office. :sarcasm:
Guess i can post what i wear on my day off. . . .

90% of "Workwear" fits make me chuckle too. or throw stuff.

This isn’t an entry, just stuff I’ve worn at the job site over the years.

^You should do a Calendar for the ladies. :wink:
Looking good man.

I'll work something out, even if it's one piece overalls. .

Thanks @IEG but there are plenty of workwear-styled outfits that are fine for dudes that aren't in the trades. Here's a few I like:

The Taylor Stitch Instagram feed:

Whaley sometimes dips into characature, but he lives in the forest so he gets a well-earned pass. Cory AKA Bandit Photographer takes amazing pictures while hiking and looking for old jeans. And TBH Taylor Stitch's stuff is relatively boring, but well made, practically designed, and fits comfortably - just like workwear should be. Their double knee chore pants are a staple in my wardrobe. All workwear clothes, after a few months of beating them up, getting them dirty, and washing them, look fantastic.

I might try to post a fit but that would require me to go to work, which I’ve been averse to lately :cheers:

I’m wondering if anyone let the good people in the RRL thread know this challenge is happening?

RRL is great. @gnatty8 wears it well.

Enjoy your time off. Going anywhere?
