I dress from thrift shop, happily gave away all my tailored suits  herme ties and kerchiefs.

 

Boot when I find on sale and food quality I buy 4+ sets I live in work, gum boot and winter boots, I even do the running in boots.

 

I love carhartt clothing and baffin winter boots, though I could easily be confused with homeless in a big city after mucking swine pen, I have the aroma and the dirt ground in look.

 

I do splurge on socks, I buy mohair thick work socks, they are local made , have nylon outside and the mohair in loops on inside, they keep smells down, multi day wear, super easy clean, they don’t bunch up and if you get a soaker and wring them out  they will start heating your feet. But they are $45 a pair and so far the orignal pair has been worn every week for 4 years and other than the sewn in color Id it looks and works just as good as brand new pair.

 

Gum boots I have moved to the neoprene  style they are much more comfortable and warmer when I  cold water.
