I wear clothes that don't look dirty when they're dirty. Dark blue shorts or pants and any color shirt I feel like wearing. Sometimes I even wear a white shirt.

Good point. Half the time I wear white and tan slacks, I will also wear green gray and black. It depends on how gross a day is going to be. I just don't do jeans though, not even in my off time. The only time I wear jeans is when I'm doing yard-work or construction or something like that. Working on cars....

I've really been wanting to try those dickies work pants, but they just don't cut them for fat people. Sears however makes very comfortable fat man slacks.

LOL I agree it reminds me of prison uniform. Light pants and carpet cleaning is never a good mix. Hey atleast your not wearing sweats.

Clean jeans and polo shirt. Kneeling on presprayed carpet fades the knees, but after a few washes the rest catches up.

Got Dickies pants and shirts a few years ago but never got used to them.

I didn't know what chefs pants were so I had to google them sounded like a good idea. I suppose draw string pants are ok for a fat person but NO way I'm wearing those things. 8)

I didn't think it was a problem if they were slacks... Sheesh.

Gang member? I don't see how I could ever be perceived as intimidating, but I guess stranger things have happened.

We used to have collared shirts but the owner started ordering T-shirts because his crews like them better.

You gotta wear a polo shirt or a work shirt witha collar.

Some kind of work pants or shorts with pockets on the leg looks ok.

I like black or tan dickies or other type pants.

Need to have a logo on the shirt...and dude...

Get rid of the chain...you look like a gang member. :mrgreen:

Like the hat and pig tails though.


Doesn't matter what you like...it's what makes your customer feel like you are a professional.

Not sure I would do the tie...ever (on the truck without a suit)...but to each his own.

That's the Gods honest truth! Bought Sears work pants for years and loved them. Then, they changed the fabric and the cut. Wayyyyyy to big, for me. Dickeys at Kmart, and Red Cap blue work shirt w/ collar and pockets and a nice American Flag over the right shoulder.

There is a very small pocket logo, and a full back logo.

I actually do agree on the collared polo shirt. Except, the last time the owner ordered some he picked some real awful grey ones with weak collars that never sat right, and the material was really thin and clingy (not flattering for a fat man to say the least)

I think Tan, Olive, or Blue would be nice for shirts. I think Khaki colored slacks would work well, maybe ditch the sneakers and get a real set of shoes...
