For pants, I have purchased Dickies Carpenter Jeans, and for shirts I am buying them from www.aramark-uniforms.com Work shirts for about 17.99-29.99 Also have rain gear, and work boots, spend a certain amount and get free shipping.

Also buy 12 items of the same and save $2.00 per item right now.

Sorry if it sounds like an ad... just relaying information.

As far as boots go Whites outdoors in Spokane Wa. Makes a killer pair of boots. They are fully custom fit to your foot, built there at Whites. They will run you around 3-4 hundred but well worth the $$$. Check out there web site.

And they charge you a reasonable fee of only one of your arms and legs.

Side-shields?

Side-shields?
Nope, goes to show just how BS that rule is, IMHO, The idea about saftey glasses is that they are shatterproof, or so I thought.

I have glasses, which are my primary, but I have contacts as my backup, but my contacts will be my primary most likely, due to the fact that they are my new prescription and my glasses are a bit scratched up already lol.

If Contacts are your primary, you'll have to wear Saftey Glasses.

Yes I figured that, do they provide them? I will do either depending on how I feel and the conditions.
