Change Clothes? Who does that?

[sunnyorm]

I find it difficult to remember, or just don't like to change clothes to work on my car.

What are some solutions from other members.

Thanks

I change my clothes one a year even if I don't have to!




I have a set of work clothes for the times I plan on getting dirty. When I forget my good jeans usually become work jeans because of the paint, grease, and other stuff that seem to be attracted to them. There are times my wife can get the grease out of them but paint and other stuff can cause a problem.

On the other hand shirts are near impossible to get clean once I have greased them.

If you don't have to get under the car, then an apron is good to have.
The problem is to find one large enough to protect your sides as well as your front.

I have a couple of worn jeans i use for work clothes, a pair of coveralls work good too.

Only one item needed for that, a pair of coveralls!

For a while, Ford Script Coveralls were available to enthusiasts.

Alas, not now.

Car-Hart it'll have to be.

You could do worse.

My wife has become an Expert at removing grease from my clothes. She has had a lot of years of practice...

I do carry a pair of coveralls in the trunk incase I have to get under the car while away from home.

Bibs are good.

Well, since Nordstrom's is now selling fake dirty jeans for over $400.00, I plan to get those old greasy and dirty ones out and sell them for $300. Or maybe sell them as genuine authentic dirt for $500!!! I have always told the wife that this hobby would pay off someday.

For me, it's the other way around. I change cloths when i go somewhere. I always dress like a homeless person when at home anyway whether I'm working on cars or not.

that's funny! i am the same way! i always look like a bum!

Simple I only have one pair of "good" jeans so unless I am going somewhere besides work or out in the shop I wear my cover all's or work clothes all the time.

It doesn't matter to me, I'm seem to be a dirt magnet.

When I go to work on someone else's car I always wear an apron because I know it keeps my belly warmer belt buckle from scratching the paint. I once tried coveralls, but they don't really make them in my size and when I would lay on the ground and reach over my head, I would be a soprano.

[sunnyorm]

Thanks for the replies, think i'll try coveralls.

Carhart coveralls. I built a special hat
Rack for The garage and have a ritual; walk in, fedora drops on hook, next is vest and watch, revolver pops on shelf next to anything in pockets, coveralls go on and baseball cap with led lights built into the brim go on next and I'm set to go. One recommendation with coveralls is to wear suspenders as it's almost impossible to pull your pants up once they start slipping. All my blue jeans I'v sewn suspender buttons on. And wear suspenders daily. best part of the Carhart coveralls compared to cheaper brands is if I have to head somewhere and don't want to change out of them say the hardware store or parts store I can still slip my wheel gun in the pocket and it's kept in perfect positions, firmly in place and compleatly concealed. riturals are important for remembering things!
