If you will be giving the clothes a genuine workout, it seems the consensus is Carhartt. But, working at ACE hardware, how extreme an environment will your clothes likely see?

Wal-Mart also has a brand of work clothes called "Liberty" that I have seen around.

I have a Carhart winter coat, that's what I plan to use when plowing my driveway this winter. Never wore Dickies, but my sister does have a Dickies nurse uniform.

Wal Mart for me.

Dickies, not as durable but at least you can move in them

Same. No rips, hardly any warn down areas and the stitching is still solid. Dickies is a bit too funky looking for my tastes.

I just blindly voted for Dickies. Certainly not the popular one. What did I vote for?

ken36 [insert American equivalent of Marks & Spencers] is that way

Vote Carhartt work dungarees (Carhartt Brown--made in the USA): reduced flappage while riding the m-cycle, zero flappage with the flannel-lined dungarees. Perfect cell phone pocket on the right thigh, RSA Tomahawk on the left.

BTW Redwing m-cycle boots turn your socks blue.

Carhartt's for the win in my book.

But wouldn't you know it, Baker Hughes told me that when they send me for field work on the North Slope, I am required to wear Nomex.

Looks like Carhartt's are winning. I think I'll wash all the Carhartt cloths in Woolite to make them softer =)

Carhartt, because it was better suited to alaska.

There is no Cabela's in WA state..yet. It looks like one is being built in Lacey, WA...but that's way to far for me to drive for just Carhartt clothing.
