Best Construction Clothing EVER!

SuperBeatledud

These construction clothes really hold up to some rough treatment, I might just have to outfit myself entirely in them. I'd strongly recommend using them whenever you go to site visits...



Of course you'll wanna check out the [link=http://www.huffingtonpost.com/jwt/scruffs_hardcore.html]ad[/link] to see for yourself (this should have made it on the superbowl). May not be exactly work friendly, so be aware..oh and sound is a must!

is this thread just about boots? Carhartt clothes are great, and they're made in the great USA in Dearborn (or my chore coat is, anyway)

farmer, you didn't watch the ad, did you. You should watch the ad.

No, really. Watch the ad.

My favorite part was that I love the innovation of the little film stills in the timeline across the bottom of the video!!!

That's great design!!!!

And I thought the Philips Bodygroom ad was raunchy for a legitimate ad haha. Ridiculous. HAha. Do they sell those jackets in Philly?

I watched this before bed last night. I started to post a big THIS IS TOTALLY NOT SAFE FOR WORK post right under WonderK's, but then decided I was too tired and just went to bed.

Sorry, here's your sign.

It's very well done, but honestly, I think I would have enjoyed it more if it had been a little less explicit, a little more coy about exactly what was happening. Just edited enough to actually be viable as a commercial, maybe on late-night TV only.

What happens if we women wear any of this work gear? Do we get the same response?

And mdler, please, for the love of god (and your toes), don't wear flip flops to a job site. That's so freakin' unsafe. And in my world, safe=sexy. (I love when my husband gets that triangle imprint on his face from his welding respirator - ooh lala!)

Wasn't the woman on the jobsite wearing some of the gear? At least a helmet!

AND ISN'T ANYONE ELSE AS EXCITED ABOUT THE FILM STILLS EMBEDDED INTO THE TIMELINE??!?!?!??!?!

i didn't care for the video. too explicit for my taste...and too much of the usual adolescent male fantasy...but given the audience, what else could i expect?

What about a Scruffs protective codpiece?

having just read the article this morning about the structural failure at the vinoly project in pittsburgh, having watched this video, and having seen hasselhoff's question about whether those jackets are sold in philly, i can't help but wonder whether the contractors on the pittsburgh vinoly job were wearing scruffs and whether they were fully focused on the work.

yea.. now resorting to a construction summer job rather than the office internship doesn't sound so bad after all!
