Well I'm going for the uniformed look. Ordered them through Aramark. Expected delivery is the 14th.
For a shirt I went with an Olive long sleeve RipStop. Over the left pocket I'm having "Bob's Lawn & Landscape Genesee ID" embroidered in a white thread. Over the right will be my name.
I elected to go with a long sleeve because it's cooler in the summer. It will keep the sun off me and trap a layer of cooling sweat. I think the olive color will last a long time and won't stain too badly.
For pants I elected to go with olive green cargo pants. I carry a lot of stuff with me on a daily basis and the extra pockets will be a real plus. Wallet, keys, eyeglass case, business card holder, cigarettes, zippo, cell phone, measuring tape, SOG tool, Hori Hori, pocket knife, etc. will all have a pocket now.
I elected to go with long pants instead of shorts because I can tuck the legs into my boots when I'm working in tall grass.
My current order is for 3 sets, that'll be enough to tell me if I like them. The cost was $185.00 shipped.
For a belt I'm going with a leather backed, brown canvas faced Carhartt 3 inch wide belt. I'm going to keep wearing my Rocky boots.
Now it's not really a uniform without a cover. So help me choose my hat!
So first up we have the Raffia Lifeguard. It's a very traditional garden hat with a broad brim and high crown.
Next up is the Stetson Santa Fe-Shantung. Sort of a new take on the traditional American cowboy hat. Fun and kind of funky.
Finally we have the Riverz Scout. A waterproof straw hat with a southwestern theme band. A very bold statement in headgear.
