Okay, I have some questions. First, I work in an office, and while I probably should be wearing a suit and tie, I usually wear either khakis/jeans, and polo shirts, most advertising marinas or something similar. I usually wear a ball cap, my beaters are a Baltimore Ravens hat, a Nike hat and a Chevrolet truck hat, I collect ball caps. My kicks for work when someone important shows up are a pair of Doc Martens oxfords, they don't look goofy like most of the Martens I've seen, but they are damn comfortable. Other than that, I usually wear a pair of Nike ACG's, either hiking shoes, or trail runners. I like cargo pants, I can carry more crap, I have some BDU's from Sunny's Surplus, but I buy most of my everyday pants from Wally World, they're cheap, and if I get the right brand, they're very durable, same goes for khakis and jeans, and shorts. Coat wise, I prefer hoods, I can't go without them, probably something mental. For light jackets, I could care less what brand it is, as long as it looks good for work, and is water proof, I don't want anything ratty. Heavy coat wise, I prefer Columbia parkas, especially the 2 in 1 system, I have 3 Columbia parkas, one has the liner sewn in. I have a big parka sitting out in my truck right now, it's as warm as if you were sitting on a woodstove. My outside work parka is an old Moose Creek coat, it has been sewn up more times than I can remember, and has numerous pockets, I found about 5 bucks in a pocket I had forgotten about recently. I also have a leather jacket, it's in good shape, can't remember the brand, but it is in good shape. Also a Russian cold weather trenchcoat my father gave me, it cost him 5 bucks, a friend of mine saw me wearing it, and told me that it was the one issued to soldiers in Siberia
, if its true, sounds cool. Hanes covers everything else, and that's all I have to say about that.
My watch is a Freestyle Shark X, my main EDC is a SOG Blink, with a little Spyderco Ladybug, a great deal for such a small knife!
My wallet is an el crappo Wal Mart job, but it hasn't fallen apart yet. My money clip, I bougth it at a powwow, it has a buffalo head nickel on it.
So, question time, anybody have any tales about LL Bean or Cabelas products? People tell me Cabelas is cheaper than LL Bean, but their prices look about the same
! I won't give up on my Columbia parkas, I'm still keeping them, but I need more pockets, my front side pockets on my current Columbia are crammed with my wallet, my keys, my cell phone, receipts, my SOG Blink, etc, and I can't keep track of everything. Yeah, I know, wah wah poor you. Also, I would like to get a wallet that won't fall apart on me, any suggestions, just your basic tri or bi fold leather or good vinyl wallet. Also, I used to wear the Airwalk dress shoes to work, since Airwalk went out of business, and Nike looks like they're going to get rid of their ACG line, any suggestions on good hiking shoes, besides Timberlands? Thanks.
