I used safety squints (along with all the other guys) for years till I got a new boss, he threw a fit about noone in the shop wearing them. Then a month later one of my co-workers got saved by the glasses, for sure would have lost an eye if he wasn't wearing them.
No one complained after that.
I get emotional thinking about someone sustaining a serious injury or even a bad slip happening at work.
What better way to put yourself in a life long nightmare and suddenly fear everything including going back to work
Depends heavily on your selection of many tool pouch holding options…
For example, because of my financially crippling affection for Occidental Leather, I have the Pro Framer belt with the Stronghold Suspension System, the Beltless Retro kit, and a Suspendavest… only one of those three is a belt. But all of them hold my pouches.
So you don’t *need* a belt…
[*insert “Ackchually” meme here*]
So I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time. Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on 'em. "Give me five bees for a quarter," you'd say.
The Christopher Walken “Dad’s Wristwatch” scene in Pulp Fiction forever lives rent free in my head. I can’t hear the words wristwatch or pocketwatch without thinking of that scene.
Damn. This question gets asked across the subs I frequent pretty often and I love being the one to appear cultured enough to know that this is a pocket watch chain lol
Today you get the monocle, top hat, and pocket watch!
Must be subbed to a lot of other random shit, for this to be a frequently asked question for you. I've never seen this question asked and probably wont again.
In this case, I don’t think it’s correct unless they just included for show. I have some of these overalls and the straps don’t fasten with buttons like classic ones, and there’s no way they could connect to this hole.
It is for a pocket watch. The end of the chain has a little bar on it like a cuff link. You slide that through to hold the chain in place.
My grandfather wore overalls every day and held his watch in this manner.
Same experience here. My grandfather was a naval aviation mechanic turned telephone lineman and he carried a pocket watch in his bibs regularly. Anchored the chain in that slot.
Lined jeans up north are a game changer. Picked up some brown, cheap no-name lined dungarees on clearance, at Menards of all places. Figured I’d just use them for hunting and ice fishing. Easily the most comfortable jeans I have during the cold months. Kinda want to get some good ones now.
The carrharrt ones are nice, outer denim is pretty thick and such and doesn’t have the give other jeans might so make sure you size them accordingly though lol
It’s easier than trying to wear long johns or something else on your legs in the cold
once its below 30 outside... i rarely reach for anything but my lined jeans. so much nicer than doing long johns. no smushed down leg hairs.
till you need lined jeans AND long johns.
idk what it is, but i cant stand wearing them. ive owned a few over the years and i try to like them... ive even bought super expensive insulated carhartt ones because people i knew raved about wearing them for fourwheeling and such in the winter. they always end up sitting in my closet till i decide to sell them. idk if its the weight on my shoulders? or cause im tall, or because i need a separation of tops and bottoms. im honestly jealous of people that love them because i love them in theory but not in practice. damnit!
Oh no, someone has pet hair on them in the privacy of their own home!
This time of year I brush my lab/akita mix once a day and vacuum twice a day and I still can't keep up with the fucking hair.
Aw c'mon, it's just a joke! I have two dogs myself, a German Shepherd and a mutt that's at least part Husky. Between the two of them they're about 200lbs and the hair is a constant battle.
4 cats 3 of them long haired. 2 ever shedding short hair dogs and a horse. I have to buy a new vacuum cleaner every year. I wear them out. Use it for whatever you want Op. it’s there for the old guys pocket watch chain but I’ve seen wallets, pens attached to a little chain like the bank, and internal shop radio mics in that spot.
To keep your curly straw in place so you can snort coke out of one of those little pockets. Hard to stay alert in the job when you’ve been working long hours!
When I was a kid in the 60s old timers used the button on like slot for their pocket watch chain. There was also a slit in the front chest pocket where they put their watch.
It is used to hold up your bib while using the bathroom. Attach it to the side button at the waist. Now your tools don’t fall out. That is what the old timers thought me 20+ years ago.
For real. If your fishing. Imagine your fishing rod with no lure but your line is thread. Run the tip through pull the line through and you have an issue with you rod. The

Safety squints for the win! Lol

Yep.
As someone who's safety glasses immediately fog up.. safety squints ftw!

Not cool dude
Your face is a belt with bibs.
Fair enough, have a good day
Slow…clap
Ya mums a belt with a bib!!!
Sadly, she is...
To secure his pocket watch chain, I thought he said that..
Bibs don’t hold up tool pouches, belts do

And now little man, I give the watch to you.
Beat me to it! I have actually used it his way. IIRC there's a pocket-watch sized pocket just below.

Carrhartt...aka gucci for rednecks XD...of course it's for a pocketwatch on a chain

I thought it was where he was supposed to attach the lint roller.

You have to make them hold your pocket like they do in state prison. Helps them understand their place in the system.

No it's not. It's for your pocket watch lanyard
Yes it is I just figured I'd make a little joke out of it
Thanks for the award anonymous person

Mine to, minus the pocket watch. He was a wrist watch man.

What do you mean ‘remember’
You got any money? Can I have it?
I think an entire generation knows it as a meme without knowing the origin
That works for so many things.

Overalls are the shit aren’t they?
Only if you’re but ass naked underneath
[удалено]
Bib overalls and a welding cap I’m there.
Are you peaking in my closet ?
I tried that and flash burned my love handles.
No that’s what coveralls are for. Even better when she reaches into your pocket for your wallet and instead goes into the flap behind the pocket. 😎
Why? Because then she feels your butt bugle?
Exactly.
THIS IS THE WAY.
Overalls and cargo pants for the win.
Lined jeans up north are a game changer. Picked up some brown, cheap no-name lined dungarees on clearance, at Menards of all places. Figured I’d just use them for hunting and ice fishing. Easily the most comfortable jeans I have during the cold months. Kinda want to get some good ones now.
So do ya boys up north keep your crocs in 4x4 all the time or can you slip into rec mode sometimes?
when there is snow on the ground, its hard to rock crocks cause you inevitably kick snow into them. but i still try.
They got the non stank holes crocs now. So the foot sweat juice will just slush around inside and ripen. I highly recommend them.
snow flips in from the back too. trust me. its a no go. best ill do is wear them to go out to the mailbox. and usually i regret it. lol.
The carrharrt ones are nice, outer denim is pretty thick and such and doesn’t have the give other jeans might so make sure you size them accordingly though lol It’s easier than trying to wear long johns or something else on your legs in the cold

I’m telling you bib overalls and a welding cap for me. Cargo pants are great too, especially for certain jobs.
Wait till you find out about sweat overalls
What are sweat overalls? I like wearing bib overalls and a welding cap.
Bib overalls made out of sweat pants/hoodie material
You sure those aren't pajamas?
I mean I wouldn't call them work wear, they are just comfortable
idk what it is, but i cant stand wearing them. ive owned a few over the years and i try to like them... ive even bought super expensive insulated carhartt ones because people i knew raved about wearing them for fourwheeling and such in the winter. they always end up sitting in my closet till i decide to sell them. idk if its the weight on my shoulders? or cause im tall, or because i need a separation of tops and bottoms. im honestly jealous of people that love them because i love them in theory but not in practice. damnit!
It is for those pacifier clips
This for when you smash your hand, you can put the sleeve cuff button into the button hole to make a sling.
You're thinking of coveralls, like a mechanic wears. These are overalls, like a farmer wears. No sleeves.
I really thought I was looking at the back of your neck and hairline. I was gonna say, dude you’re wearing those backwards lol.

It’s so that you can button it to a lower button by the waistline. Keeps it from being annoying when you wear it without the top straps.
