    A nice pair of sweat pants and boots are good anytime of the year

    Nothing more comforatable than tan USMC combat boots, blue jeans, button down western shirt, and a John Deere cap! - Just saying!

    Dark colors make it easy to conceal oil spills.

    Gildan style pocket tshirts from Amazon for 7.99 a piece, multiple colors. They seem to have the best fit of any type tshirt I've ever worn. Then Schmidt work pants from tractor supply for 24.99, blue mountain pants for 12.99 or if you are spendy, Carhartt for $40+.

    Those pants are much more durable than jeans, are cut wider through the middle for more flexibility, and tend to be warmer than jeans in the winter. They last a lot longer too and don't hold grease stains like jeans.

    I don't separate my clothes so I cant buy white clothes. Unless they're socks and then they can just suck up the colored water and not be white,

    Jeans t-shirt or Dickies work shirt Maybe but definitely a good set of boots.

    I just can't take it when I see guys driving and they're wearing flip-flops. I like flip-flops in my house or maybe if I get up from the sleeper for a minute just to slip something on my feet but never ever to drive in them. I don't feel like I have as good of a control of the truck.

    And if something happens that you have to get out of the truck in an emergency or you have to get out of the truck quickly, flip-flops are useless. I think it should be illegal to drive in flip-flops.

    If I was a cop and I pulled a guy over there was wearing shorts and a dirty t-shirt and flip-flops and look like he was so lazy had a hard time even getting out of the truck I was really lean toward giving him some kind of a ticket for something.

    But if I saw a guy they came out of the truck with nice jeans and boots and a T-shirt and he look professional and ready for work I would be less likely to give him a ticket unless there was some real violation.

    Flip flops are just way unprofessional.

    Reminds me of driving a Taxi. Some had company Taxi shirts. Guy asked me why I wasn’t wearing one. Wasn’t I a real taxi driver?I told him: Those people wear those official shirts so they’ll be considered a real driver. I am a real driver. I don’t need a shirt to declare it for me.

    Those are for Russian or Eastern Europeans trying to assimilate into Chicago. They need to be able to run from shootings at any time. It's a fair chance since the Chicago shooters cannot really hit anything important.
