My old work shirts had gotten a bit "long in the tooth"
(https://forestryforum.com/gallery/albums/userpics/20011/IMG_8546.JPG?easyrotate_cache=1605837896)
so I got 5 new winter shirts to accompany the T-shirts and cap.

A closeup of the monogram. Kinda professional eh??
they look great. they did misspell sawmil. made you look! :D :D :D do you have a website so we can all order them?
very professional looking.
Nice duds and I like the name.
I bought the shirts at Vanity Fair (15% off) and had a local shop do the monogramming.
The T-shirts and cap are a few years old. LINK (https://forestryforum.com/board/index.php?topic=49915.msg726141#msg726141)
Looks good. Do you have it stitched on to your Lederhosen straps? :D

Beginning in 1983, my cabinet/woodworking shop was "The Knothole". After I retired that business and bought the sawmill, it became Knothole Sawmill, and as they say, the rest is history.
Howard, I have a bit of Irish in me but not that much. I suppose that it would be better than a Kilt.
Both are scary thoughts. :D
Very nice.
Yes very nice
Anything that takes attention away from your feet! :D
Much better than a kilt! Sawdust might chafe a wee bit. :D
Being a firefighter and having a side business, I had to have a name that goes along with firefighting, so my business is Wildfire Woodworks. It encompasses my woodworking/sawmill/lumber business.
Looking good
This is my only "duds". My wife made it iron on with her Cricut machine. This is on the back of my Woodmizer hoodie.

"New Sawmill Duds"
Still being a newbie I was almost ready to take offense.
Alan
Looking fine!! MM
Best

Well, they aren't really new as I wear the hats every day and the shirts on more special occasions like shows and flea market events and such. I'll wear them this Saturday and the next when our town has a home town Christmas shopping opportunity for local businesses and craftsmen and such.

Some of these are very well worn from daily use and repeated washing.

Heavy denim shirt my wife made me to use around the mill. Too nice to abuse that way IMHO.

Another older one. These make a nice coat in cool weather.
My wife has an embroidery program on her Bernina sewing machine and makes these for me and various patches for quilts for our daughter and friend. She put the hospital name on my daughters polo shirts she wore using multi colored thread and one little girl who idolized Sharon wanted one to wear as her costume for Halloween. Her mom tried to match it but it was not exact so Sharon gave her an old one of hers that she had shrunk in the dryer. The little girl, who was terminally ill, was thrilled and wore it, a stethoscope, and a pager and did her trick or treating that year as a Child Life Specialist. She died a few months later so it was time and money well spent.
Our son is always bringing his mom a new hat or shirt or jacket or such to put the BOP logo and his name and such on for him and some of his co-workers who work at the Alderson Federal Women's Prison Camp (Martha Stewart's Alma mater).
Martha Stewart's alma mater😂😂 I'm no Martha fan, but I think with all of the dirty dealing that went on in that situation it was crazy they made Martha do hard time! I saw a Conan O'Brien skit, the one where they had Martha's face with someone else's talking lips talking. She said her and her homegirls were working on so e drug deals and starting a meth lab on the back of her property. It was pretty rich!😂😂
I think Martha was a pretty good inmate from all I hear of her. I think Squeaky Fromme had already graduated or transferred before my son started working there but his MIL remembered her well.
Howard, you must not have much SYP to saw as the pitch would ruin those pretty shirts in no time flat. That is why I wear a welding apron when cutting SYP. Otherwise, your clothes can get ruined easily.
Danny,
No, we do not have any SYP up here - just white pine. It can be pretty messy as well as hemlock and my Norway Spruce from my overgrown Christmas tree patch. As I mentioned earlier though I have thought from day one those shirts were to nice to saw in so I only wear them for customer visits or flea market type sales and never for sawing. They would be too heavy to wear for anything except winter type sawing anyway.

Sawing today.
MM I wouldn't mess with you ! looking great!
I hate to say this MM, but with that camera angle you look just a tiny bit like a giant garden gnome. :D Perfect working man duds though, it is just the way the photo struck me. I am certain I often appear like that myself, except I am not as handsome as you.
Have sawmill. Will saws em and leaves em.
