Not a great pic but these are the 12’ wide trailers they run in the big woods.

I posted these on another thread-but really should have placed them here.

Woods boss was always suspect of gut wrappers (belts) and dashboards (bib overalls.)

Weyerhaeuser safety book I was handed in the late 60's said that suspenders were required. When you were running for your job, or your life, suspenders were guaranteed to keep your pants up. When I started, it was Lee "Can't Bust 'em 88s with a button fly. older gents on the crew wore 77's which had a zipper fly. Then Lee went fashion conscious about the late 70s and dropped both lines.

Lived around loggers most my life I know why they wear guy wires, hickory shirts and short jeans and
Whites boots. What I don't under stand is why a Cat mechanic thinks he needs the same dress.

I often wonder the same. Trying to be what ya ain't is no way to live.

We still had 77's & 88's until 91 here. That's when I got my first pair of Carhartt jeans. Those have been discontinued now also.
Maybe the world is signaling me?

I spent many hours inside Link-Belt 98 and 108 loggers.

I wore the hickory shirts and braces for years when working on friction machines. The open gear dope for some reason would come out of those shirts after two three washings. Never wore flannel around turning gears and shafts and never worn a belt when crawling through those machines. Synthetic cloth was just terrible for burning and welding and I have the scars to prove it. Spray the sleeves of a cotton hickory shirt down with starch and the sparks and hot drips would just bounce off. I also wore the old railroad hats. Turn the bill towards the back and pull the hat over your ears and then have to try to slide up by the vertical shafts in the carbody. The oil and gear dope got stuck on your hat and not so much in your hair. Never owned a set of corks and only wore the wranglers for a little while. The wide legs kept getting caught on sharp stuff inside those machines.

Love the photos but the green KW is just sad.

When I was working on trucks and equipment in the 70's era I wore the 88's and zip up hickory shirts. It helped to not get belt buckle pinch when bending over or being in an odd position when working on something.

 

[Truck Shop]

I've never worn rings, belts , watches or any of that crap. Working auto machine years ago
there was plenty of equipment to get caught up in. I still have all my digits, nock on wood.

Urban decay. or rural.

Huh? I’ve got carhartt jeans. Fit better and hold up longer than Levi’s. Got them at tractor supply.

 

[Crummy]

@Hallback needs to have some company slack adjusters printed up. No poser junk, leather end to go with the Prison Blues, please.

 

[Hallback]

I have been thinking about having some made.

It's not the traditional carhartt logger double front. Those were discontinued over 2 years ago. They make some that are similar but they are nowhere near the same fit or durability.

 

[Hallback]

I bought a dozen pair of the size that I wore at that time and the next size larger. Sad because I'm down to only about 4 pair left and I'm afraid to take the tags off them and wear them now.

 

[Truck Shop]

About the time you find something that fits or like it always seems it's discontinued.
