Chippewa Crazy Horse work boots, black mid-wale cords, navy medium plaid on white shirt, black lineman's long-sleeve T (I have two of these; found the other one), black union suit, black pouch briefs, usual Dickies socks.

New cop on the construction beat near work, yellow/lime rain jacket early, ignoring me but very friendly with my regulars -- I'll work on this. Today was the last day for me to take advantage of Dunk's 99 cents bagel and cream cheese (ends tomorrow) -- started the day on Carhartt jacket sightings and also had a great one on the way home.

High shine Chippewa engineers, Wrangler blue jeans (13MWZ 33x30), denim Carhartt western shirt, black Carhartt thermal long-sleeve T, black pouch briefs, usual Dickies socks.Well, the new boots took only about a half hour to break in.

Sunday: Some Sun, Getting Warmer

Olathe horsebutt chocolate with soft bone uppers cowboy boots, black Cinch jeans, blue/white plaid Carhartt shirt, gray Cinch long-sleeve T, black briefs, black Justin OTC socks.



Nothing like a visit to the newly opened first Bass Pro store in New England (I think) to have a number of work, logger, and hiking boot sightings, and, of course, jeans in various degrees of tightness. And, one only had to breathe normally to inhale testosterone, given the large number of males (of various sizes and shapes) in the store. Overheard conversations included a wife trying to get her husband to buy a union suit (he looked at the buttons on the rear and said, "no") and two straight guys talking about boot choices: "I'm into all leather."

As someone privately pointed out about yesterday's post, I forgot one piece of clothing that I wear quite often (not just in winter) and certainly wore yesterday: tight black leather gloves.

TGIF. The longest 3-day week I've ever had.

When it's in the single digits most of the day, you're politically correct about global warming (responsibly you take public transportation and have to wait for a bus in the AM and PM), you get older and have thinner skin, and you think quilted Carhartt over-pants look good on you, that's the way you dress.


One of my staff members said someone should get a photo of you dressed like that. So I did.

Wednesday, January 02, 2008

Wednesday: Some Snow in AM, Just Cloudy in PM

Redwing logger boots, black fine wale cords, fine navy check on blue shirt, neutral Carhartt thermal T, black/white no-scent thermal bottoms, gray pouch briefs, usual Dickies socks.

$50 off any Lucchese boots from BootBarn--there goes a New Year's resolution I should have had. Wait, wait--it's good for half a year.

New Year's Day: Snow, Slush, Mainly Rain

Chippewa firefighter boots (from Stompers), brown flannel-lined Carhartt jeans, black/blue plaid on white Cinch shirt, black thermal Carhartt T, black briefs, usual Dickies socks.

I should add another category to sightings (strange things): Monday it was a guy shaving his head on the subway while his girlfriend cackled; today it was a mall security guy on a Segway.
