[QUOTE="MacFromOK, post: 2992840, member: 40864"] I was a mechanic/welder (built my own shop at age 25) until my ticker gave out on me (also had cattle & hogs "on the side" - lol, if that's possible). I always preferred a long sleeved shirt, and would just roll them up to my elbows in summer, and leave 'em down in winter. Cotton shirts (or mostly so) are way more comfortable to work in than synthetics. I bought several mechanic uniform pants & shirts from a friend (he did a lot of "garage sales") when I first opened the shop. After they ran out, I wore blue jeans and whatever long-sleeved shirts I had. If you do a lot of work, you might consider an old washing machine for your greasy clothes and shop rags (or you can use those blue 3M paper shop towels, they work pretty good). We had an old wringer-washer on the back porch that my wife washed my greasy stuff in for several years. Hope that helps. [/QUOTE]
