Workwear

I'm still definitely on the workwear tip. Not because I'm trying to look like a construction worker, hunter, or someone's father (with a blue collar tendency) so much as I am able to find super quality basics of the things I need and love anyway.

Firstly, I've been on a dedicated journey to find the perfect tee-shirt for a while. James Perse in a basic tee is very solid, this Carhart pocket "work dry" tee is up there as well. Its also quite similar to a Nike Dri-Fit, except that its apparently anti-odor as well. Sometimes it pays to wear the sweaty fat men's brand of choice.

Carhart beanie, no explanation required. I needed a replacement as I'd lost my last one. Though, I would love to upgrade to the Visvim/Supreme cashmere one if not for the approaching summer weather, and the staggering price-tag.

Red Wing socks– as the gentleman who owned the store put it: "you'll be digging for these socks once they are all dirty, and you've run out." I figured it was a decent investment (they were behind the counter– top shelf socks!). After all I own a pair of Visvim socks, and though I paid nearly forty dollars for them, they are always the best of my week pair, no question about it.
