Unless you want to get made fun of and be the joke of the day, make sure you "break in" your D.I.C.K.I.E.S workpants first.<br /><br />I bought a brand new pair and they were still very "crisp". Everyone was making fun of me. Great Pants, just next time I'll wait to wear them until I break them in.<br /><br />Anyone else ever become the joke at work?

Ya, My Ex when I sewed HEE HAW patches on his rear end. :eek: . He had a few blowouts and I had some extra material laying around. :D . Ya, he didn't figure it out until lunch. He never checked his pants before work.. The guys at the roofing co. had a blast.. He had the pants for 3 more years and wore them once aweek just for the hek of it..<br /> Stiff pants just beat them on rocks, that way you can say they were stoned washed.. :D

Re: Workpants advice

Its my third pair.....I just forgot how stiff they are the first few times you wear them. For the price I doubt there is a more durable pair of pants out there

Re: Workpants advice

I like my cloth like that. It just doesn't make sense to me to pay full price for cloths that are half worn out. If you really want to see something go to the mall and check out a store called Hollister. They sell jeans that should be in the trash for like $60.

LOL @ pjc.<br /><br />crab bait- the idea is that after break in those pants no longer are rough and tough to wear...in fact they become quite comfortable.

A definition of a rough-n-tough man is a man that is stupid enough to wear stiff new pants without uderdogs.. My Ex.. He was not doing to good after a full days work on a roof.. Did I mention it was a roof that needed hot tar... :D

Now I got that one... :eek: <br />What is real funny, I had my work shorts on, work top, socks and work boots.. I had some grease on my face and dirt here and there. :eek: <br />Had to get a part in town and saw my ex boy friend, a-hole called me up and asked me out. :rolleyes: . He said I kind of turned him on.. Now that was sick. :eek: .<br />I have to know,, I'm wondering what in the world would a dirty woman turn a guy on for... I have to ask concidering the gender that is mostly here. :D . I was a mess that day from yard work and changing plugs in my car..

Those polyester D.I.C.K.I.E.S. were the only thing I could wear at Starrett Tool Co. When I worked the plating dept., the acid we used,(hydrochloric and sulfuric),to strip chrome and nickel would put a billion holes in anything else by the end of the day. No matter how hard you tried, it would spatter on your clothes.
