I got my Levis online during a sale for $16 and they always have them in stock.
LOL, I haven’t heard that one in a while.
A female I used to know said she saw a t-shirt that stated “Too many boys. Not enough Men”.
After years of working in factories and metal machine shops, I found my dream job. We make hand lotions. I’m still turning a wrench, but the scent of the place is wonderful. I went from repairing sewerage plant parts to scented vanilla.
Now I get all sweaty working on a machine that mixes bath salts.
Oh, my God! lol

Sorry, but these “models” don’t look like they have a clue what real work would be like. Looks more like a half-grunge wannabe than a real working man. Hubby wears $11.00 jeans and Dickies with holes in them and looks better than that. Even when he comes in covered in dirt and grease from tearing stuff up and fixing it again.

It also makes the skin on the back of your hand grow thicker. I think. It might be some other ailment that causes that, I’m not so sure.
Sure, lots of stocks to invest in. If ya got a job and some money.
“Clothes don’t make the man you bunch of Nancy boys”
Amen to that!
I don’t buy Levi’s at all for DH’s work clothes. They are made of flimsy fabric that’s already half worn out by the time you buy it. I usually get him store brand or Rustlers.
I wish I had a nickel for every set of Carhartts that he has destroyed on the farm.
Have diabetes typ 2 but this is just on the outside
of my legs where the canvas has rubbed for so long.
It’s one of the reasons I wore them, they are cut
large and so act as a bellows and pump air, plus
the dpuble front helps insulate from the heat.
Thanks. t.
Hot metal! God I love the stuff.
Big pieces, bright orange, the heat,the smell.
Hammers cogging those billets down with each blow.
Yowwww!
Most folks think wrought Iron is this black hard stuff
but for smiths it’s glowing orange and stiff like taffee,
bend it, punch it, do what you want with it.
When my customers would look at a leaf or scroll and talk
about how beautiful it is, and what art it is, I can
only see it glowing and sparking as it was, that is
when it was beautiful.....I don’t tell them that but
some times, I take the good ones, the ones that care
and let them see the process so they understand.
Hope to buy a house this spring, with a Butler building
so I can set up my forge and hammers again. Just
renting now so only have a small forge and anvil setup
out under the trees. Did that when I was young,
just starting and it was such fun, now at 63 it’s
harder, need everything set up again.

How about the throwback Pepsi cans and boxes? Makes me think back to the Carter years... ;)
Odd. The 501 button-fly shrink to fit jeans I’m wearing now seem to hold up fine, at $30/pr.
I’ve read - and believe - the button-fly jeans are cut different than zip up, and zipping up is just too new-fangled for me.
my husband wears that kind of clothing but I hate buying things not made in America....
a lot of Cabelas stuff is made in China too...
The Open Hearth at the Fairless Works put on a hell of a show. Horns, sirens, a succession of booms and the fires of hell in every direction.
