I’ve been working in the trades for 10+ years, and most of what I know about work gear came from actually using it on the job. Over the years I’ve figured out what holds up, what makes a long day more comfortable, what’s worth spending money on—and w...

Regular boot laces can get destroyed surprisingly fast on a jobsite. I like paracord-style laces because they’re tough, inexpensive, and easy to replace. Keep an extra pair in your truck or tool bag—you’ll eventually need them.
Paracord Rope
Work glasses don’t have to look boring. I like Heat Wave Visual Laser Face-style glasses because they’re made for the jobsite but still have some personality. Look for the safety-rated version appropriate for the work you’re doing—not just regular su...

This is one of my little workwear secrets. I buy a lot of my work jeans in the men’s section at Savers. They’re usually already broken in, comfortable, and I can actually move in them. Plus, I’m not spending $80 on a pair of work pants just to crawl ...
