    Awesome-I have also suffered from PF over the years teaching all day long, on my feet on concrete floors. I have tried several over-priced orthopedic shoes, and my latest Asics running shoes work about as well as anything.

    I like JJ's idea too-old t-shirts demoted to shop rags!

    So here's my shop outfit, with built-in ventilation. I'm about to change into it and go work on some blades in progress to celebrate my 1st day of Christmas break. That shirt is literally 30 years old, being from U2's Rattle and Hum documentary/tour in '89. I wear it for nostalgia as much as anything.

    Let's start a contest for filthiest shop clothes! Post 'em up, boys (unless you're one of those Bob Vila types who wears nice flannel and khakis in his shop haha!).

    Not a Bob Vila type, but I can't compete with that. My wife would have quietly disposed of those a while ago

    That's why I keep them in the garage-the wife has threatened to toss them out.

    As well she should. They look contaminated.

    We celebrate when we can work on a blade or brush that’s seen maybe a hundred or more years of use. Seems to me the outfits we wear while lavishing love on those items should be in sync.

    Also, the accumulated sweat and chemicals absorbed by the fabric help contribute to the privacy we seek while working in the shop.
