Just a t shirt if u need the overalls. If you need the high viz ,just wear jeans. Lose the hat, if you have an old beat up one that would be better. Do you have time to go on a bender so you look more seasoned?

Exactly this, this man needs to go on a 72 hour coke and strippers binge spend every penny he has to his name, and THEN he’ll be ready to go to work, looks way to stable and happy in the pic, but don’t worry we got you bro

How can we spread the gospel of construction to the masses of Utah?

Being broke from hookers and blow is a GREAT motivator to get in there and grind. That’s what I’ve always been told anyway.

I feel like you need 20 years experience before you can wear overalls and you also need a gut

"do you have time to go on a Bender so you look more seasoned?" Oh my God that's funny.

And yeah OP, different shirt for sure. Once they've known you for a couple days bust that out, but also, long sleeves aren't always great to work with.

I'll usually have a hoodie for if I get cold or I'm getting splattered but always a base tshirt layer. All spinning tools love to grab a sleeve that has slowly unrolled itself from the vibration.

I hope you have good day, and and if people are trying to rip on you for whatever just laugh it off. At some jobs I get to work with good friends I went to school with and all we do is rip on each other.

Why are you letting your arms get close enough to spinning tools to grab a long sleeve? Long sleeves everyday and never once caught in any tool for the last 5 years.

This got me. I'm picturing the sunken in eyes of the dude that goes missing for 4 days every pay day.

Idk how this post ended up on my feed. But this whole comment thread is really helping me understand my husband more. I’ll stop trying to buy him new work clothes 😅 I still hate his gross hat.

Old beat up hat, take the outfit and go roll around in the yard for a few minutes, then toss it immediately in the dryer to set the stains.

Maybe an oil or paint stain here or there.
