I don´t ! But I also wear shorts and t-shirts at home. it´s just more comfy isn´t it?I also wear shorts and a T-shirt at home. But I always try to go out beautifully
Ganja D and I have gone shopping for work clothes together lots over the 5 years we've been together, and everytime it's the same. Ganja finds like a gazillion pairs of pants, hoodies, T-shirts and all that great stuff, that makes all that hard ass work just that much easier,and I can't find shit! I usually leave the store kinda frustrated. Honestly, the last time we went shopping for work stuff the store had one pair of Carhartt pants for women, and they were tan with white flowers...how the hell can I work in white pants??
Is there some womens' clothing secret stash store I'm missing out on? Where do you ladies buy your work clothes?
I used to do a lot of brazing, melting metal etc too. I always wore regular clothes such as jeans and cotton but that´s because I didn´t have money for anything else.Dropping in to say my partner sure likes duluth trading company for women's work wear. She also bought a pair of work pants from dove, but the work didn't match the price. Too many stray threads. Another issue is she can't find women's work wear that doesn't have stretch fabric in it. This sucks since she's welding often enough to want something without plastic in it.
there are differences in the way our bodies are shaped. I used to wear mens stuff too but not anymore. Sometimes you get lucky and find something which fits you but this is kinda rare especially when the fashion changes.Sorry. This is probably a dumb question but cant you just get mens in smaller sizes? Jeans are jeans right? Not trying to be a smart ass. Also i used to get those Daluth magazines in the mail. They are pricey but are made to last. Sorry you gals are having a hard time. I wear the dirtiest clothes if im working and wear it till i throw it away. Havent busted my ass in a while though

lol, can you send him over to my place when you´re finished with him? I wouldn´t mind . God knows there aren´t any men with nice figures where I liveshow me an hourglass shaped man, with very big chest muscles
you didn´t offend mate.well im sorry if i offended. I never had clothes that fit me and i grew up poor. I just used whatever. If it wasnt too small i wore it. As long as i had a belt it "fit" me. Even today i dont have clothes that fit me unless they are sweat pants
You actually like one piece clothes? I prefer trousers plus jacket . It´s much easier when you have to use the loo .I tried on mens insulated coveralls. If it fit the chest and hips, the crotch of them was down to my knees. Then the pantlegs were dragging, but even when i pulled up to make the crotch in the correct place, the legs were still a mile long. If i pulled the shoulders up, the collar was over my head. I've looked at the girly stuff, all pink and flowers, etc, but not heavy, more like for trying to be a fashion model in a garden ad. -30 f. really requires something serious.
Ariat boots, endurance rider type. These fit my oddball feet and are made for walking as well as riding.
I remember when i was younger lots of chicks would wear mens band shirts. Guess i never paid attention to pants. My mom is only 4'8 or 4'10 and wears little kids clothes so it could always be worse!you didn´t offend mate.
But it´s as I said : men and women just have slightly different types of bodies. Especially waist down!
I do often end up buying mens t-shirts but only because they´re cheaper and have nicer colours and fabric. They are also a bit longer.
as for clothes being too big, somebody commented on this only recently.
I was asked if I had lost weight (which I have) because my clothes were obviously too big for me.
The thing is I don´t like cothes which are skintight either but also have no cash to buy new stuff. I bought new shoes for 20 and some `womens only´ stuff but only because I had no choice. No money for new trousers or a new jacket, lol Still hoping to lose more weight however.
So, I guess we´re in the same boat
bloody hell, I mean where the hell do you live?!I have critters. Fewer now, than a couple of years ago. I was looking for the old one piece snowmobile suits, for a while, too. Well, yes, one-piece are a pain for potty time, but the wind and snow don't blow up the coat. Heck, if i could find one that has attached boots, i'd go for it. It's the pits when snow gets in the boots, too. I think a space suit is the only answer, these days. At least i don't have so many chores to do, and can do them fast if the weather is really bad. I potty just before going out, and immediately when i get back into the house( ol lady on diuretics, argh) This was a very mild winter, whew. Between the fibromyalgia and the arthritis, i really try to stay warm. But, whatever the gear, i need it to be flexible, too. When i tried on those men's insulated coveralls, i couldn't even bend down to grab a water font.
Back when i was just a little mouse, i had to pail water to horses, oh about a half a block, through some over the knees snowbanks. Several trips with five gallon buckets, not full and they still sloshed.
Yes, we usually get a LOT of wind with our -25 and -30 f. If there's no wind, we comment that it seems like a pretty nice day, even at those temps. Hubby used to work derricks, up in the air with not much for wind breaks. His beard would still have ice in it, after an hour drive home. We joke that it keeps the riffraff out. Gosh, during the boom, there were people looking for work that would jump off a train with a 'texas' winter coat and think that they could survive long enough to find a place to live. People froze to death.
I was trying to explain to some texas kids, what our weather was like. I told them that our winters are colder than their freezer. They couldn't believe a lot of what i said. They didn't have a clue that the ground froze hard, that i've seen thirty foot snowbanks, or that people can drive their pickups onto the ice to fish.
