WAYWT - The Hard Labour Edition aka "Working in your workwear".

[RoxRocks86]

Thanks @neph93 IH did the hemming and I did the taper to my preference.

They’re great for work! The area the job site is in gets pretty rainy, windy and chilly (chilly for Hawaii - mid 50s/low 60s). It does a nice job of keeping me comfortable in those conditions. Love how the material feels sturdy. I’m notorious for brushing up against stuff but these haven’t gotten any rips or scars yet. Kinda wish they had more pockets like carpenter pants tho.

[neph93]

Might not be your cut, but check out the wabash painter’s pants in the webshop. They’re a straight fit but with your skillset you could make what you want of them. Lots of handy pockets and loops.

Dang wasn’t digging the stripes at first, but saw the fades on the indigo wabash thread and they look great as they get used and abused!  Adding these in on my next splurge.

This thread rules.

I posted these years ago but here is a pair of SRs after a few years of industrial construction in Chicago. Unfortunately I have lost a lot of weight and these dont xome close to fitting me any more. Now they just hang in the closet.

I need to ditch my uniform pants at work and destroy some more IH.

[neph93]

Small pics but they look sweet. Glad you like the thread and great when OG forum folk like you show up again.

Had to take the IHSH-33 off, kept the 777s on & put in some real work to make dat money!

[Chris]

Gotta pay for that gear somehow, amirite?

[RoxRocks86]

Especially when that IH list keeps growing…

[neph93]

Great thread bump, Rox. I have to ask though, how do you pro’s manage to stay so clean when you dry wall? If I so much as look sideways at plasterboard and filler the next thing I know I’m head to toe in white dust and gunk.

@RoxRocks86 have you seen Sig Zane’s work Gloves he released today? I posted a link below

https://sigzanedesigns.com/products/laulima-leather-gloves

[RoxRocks86]

@Matty123 haven’t heard of him until your post. But dang those are some inzane gloves! Love the design & story behind them. You picking up a pair?

@neph93 the end goal is to get the mud on the wall not your clothes    I used to look like your snowman at the end of the day, but a bucket of water and a sponge can be your best friend & not using your clothes to wipe mud off your hands and knives helps. The only day my clothes get extra muddy is when I’m running the bazooka.

@brock love the cruise mode!

[Matty123]

Sig Zane is amazing. He loves Hawaii and the culture.  All his clothes and patterns have a story.  Yiu should check it all out.

I’m not buying a pair. I am not making any non essential purchases for the foreseeable future! Tightening the belt.

^ ha glad you’ve got that thing they call self-control!

Giving the 777S-21 some love this week.

This baby is a trooper! Love how it’s kept me dry and comfortable while getting blasted by April showers. Also the breathablility of the fabric during this muggy weather with temps swinging from 65F-80F throughout the day is amazing. Haven’t felt hot with all the climbing and running around I do.

[neph93]

@RoxRocks86  you are winning this thread. I’m going to give you a run for your money in a month or two when building season starts here, but you’re the champ right now.

@RoxRocks86 I have the same Milwaukee utility knife.

[RoxRocks86]

Right on @rio! I kept “borrowing” the fastback from the proj. foreman I think he forgot it was his Love this thing can’t go a day w/o it.

[rio]

yeah I used a few blades a day, that button release is great.

[RoxRocks86]

That button release is what makes that knife so great. You ever used Tajima v-rex tempered utility blades? I’ve noticed they seem to stay sharper longer.
