Reddit mentions: The best uniforms, work & safety

hey man, I'm nearly 32 but I've been on this forum since my mid-20's, so I've experimented with a bit, and my style has obviously changed as I've gotten older.

There's no "30 year old style." It's pretty much the same thing as in your 20s (and this extends to your 40s, too). The key is that you need to be more aware of the scenarios in which you are wearing your clothing. There's much more leeway in terms of social acceptance when you're in college, grad school, or starting your first job and going out to happy hours and socializing with other 20-somethings.

In the end, all of the same general principles on MFA still apply into your 30s and 40s, you just have to be more cognizant of your situation.

That being said, here's what I recommend:

(1) get a pair of sneakers that you can wear casually. Not running shoes... casual sneakers. I have these New Balance ML574's. I love the two-tone texture look. I wear these literally every day, all year.

• walking the dog
  
• walking to the store
  
• going to a restaurant with friends (of course it depends on other factors, like the occasion, the rest of my outfit, etc.)
  
  (2) get a pair of versatile boots that walk the line between both casual and professional. I have a pair of Frye Walters. I love the look, but I think I would recommend some other boot as far as comfort and durability, like the MFA coveted Alden 405. I wear these a few times per week.
  
  
• any other outfit that graduates from my sneakers above
  
• when I travel for work, these are the only non-sneaker shoes I bring (business casual environment)
  
• traveling for leisure, these are (usually) the only non-sneaker shoes I bring, depending on what I'm doing
  
  (3) Pretty much all I wear are (1) and (2), but I also work from home so I don't have to go into the office every day. That said, depending on your job and your job wardrobe, expand your collection with shoes that will help there. If you work in an office, get quality dress oxfords, play with some wingtips, or get some chelsea boots or other kinds of dress boots.
  
  (4) Optional: another pair of boots that are more casual. I have a pair of Golden Fox Moc toe vibram wedge. I would sort of put these as less casual than the dress boots in (2), and substitutable with sneakers (no shorts, of course). T-shirt and jeans wouldn't look good with the (2) boots, but would work with a more casual, chunky boot.
  
  I think that's all I got.

You most likely won't catch her feeding.

We just had a litter of 6 about 2 months ago, and I only caught her feeding twice.

They feed late at night/early in the morning usually.

The absolutely best way to help the babies is keep mom healthy and happy. She knows what's best for the buns.

Keeping the box clean is important, but it doesn't have to be done daily. During the time our 6 were in the box, we cleaned it out a few times and made a new litter box for them once.

Make sure the doe has all the hay she can eat. Alfalfa is good to give her right now. And PLENTY of water. We had to start refilling our large bottle twice a day.

Something that will help the buns socially is for you to talk to them from the get go. Let them know humans are normal parts of the environment and that we're not something to be feared.

Some people like to pick them up and handle them from birth. We waited about a week before we started to take them out of their nest to have human time.

A fleece hat makes a great baby bun carrier and it keeps them warm. We'd let the little guys sleep on our chests for 15-30 minutes at a time. We tried not to go longer than that because we didn't want to upset their mom.

If you have any questions, just ask. I'm not an expert, but I've spent hours and hours and hours reading up on rabbits and reproduction so we could give our guys the best chance possible.

Btw, 6 born, 0 deaths, 3 boys, 3 girls, all happy and healthy. :)

I don't know about tops, but I really, really like my Dickies Scrub pants. They're very comfortable, have held up for nearly a year with no sign of wearing down, clean easily, and can be worn in pretty much any situation. They don't really look too specifically like scrubs, so they're versatile.

As for tables, I have an oakworks table. It came with my tuition and it seems a decent quality. I like it, but haven't really shopped around for tables sense I feel more or less set for the moment.

Welcome, and good luck!

Since you're an AK user, if you ever find that crossdraw-style vest getting too hot or bulky for you, I'll point you towards the Chinese Type 81 chest rig - 4 AK magazine pouches plus 2 grenade pouches for misc. storage, all in a quiet, lightweight little bundle! You'll have to find another solution for your pistol, but I'd recommend getting a good hardshell holster for that anyways.

General rules of thumb:

1. No rifle is complete without a good sling
   
   
2. No pistol is complete without a good holster
   
   
3. Be fast and aggressive - you're not actually going to die if you get hit
   
   
4. Be honorable and have good sportsmanship even if someone else doesn't - everyone has a lot more fun if they're hearing "Great shot!" from across the field instead of "Call your hits!"

I am torn between two bomber jackets that I've narrowed down. The Alpha Industries Men's MA-1 Slim Fit Flight Bomber Jacket and the Levi's Men's Ma-1 Flight Jacket. Both look awesome from the pictures and ratings but I would love to know if anyone here has had any experience with either of them. I'm partial to slim fits rather than the poofy jackets they traditionally come it.

Any input would be welcome. Thanks everybody.

Yeah, I was thinking about the mattress covering sheets, but as far as the actual sheet that goes between you and the comforter (which is an American thing apparently) you could always use shirt stays passed under the mattress if the tuck doesn’t work for you.

Also, I encourage all people wearing tucked in shirts without a jacket use these. Wrap them around your legs in the direction you want them to pull and attach the bottom clip to your sock. Be patient until you figure it out and get used to them. They make you look soooo much better in dress attire.

No.

Thank you for sharing the picture of love. I wish the best in your journey with her!

but side tip - get some shirt holders https://www.amazon.com/Standard-Shirt-Stays-Locking-Clamps/dp/B00AERKG94

Good luck man

These are really cheap and look awesome. Plus they sound pretty good. They also make great looking chukkas

I've seen some people mod their helmets and such, that took me too long in order to set it up. However, the best thing for me was a beanie, I like the puff ball ones with the designs and it is saggy enough to protect the head. Here is the facewrap that I wear. It is nice and comfy, and if you dip it in ice water, keeps you cool. Here is the link: https://www.amazon.com/Condor-MULTI-P-Multi-Wrap/dp/B0086UB82U

Grand Total = $188, with room left for shipping. (I didn't include the H&M 20% off code so this could be a bit cheaper)

Edit: Also, thrifting and a tailor/sewing machine is a great alternative to the jeans. You can make this $20 cheaper by thrifting a pair of jeans and bringing them to a tailor ($8+) or having your moms taper it (priceless). With that $20, another good piece would probably be a layering piece like a camo jacket.

https://www.amazon.com/Corcoran-Jump-Boot-M-Mens-Boot/dp/B008M22830

these are good alternatives. they're american military parachute boots from ww2 I believe, don't take my word on it.

Love the simplicity of your fit, looks like something vince staples would wear.

Thanks. I'm considering getting the pair of boots you linked (your previous review as my first, but I was wondering if the sizes of these vary to regular training shoes or anything. I see people buying relatively small numbers (6.5EE and 7D). Any chance you'd explain to me what those letters mean and what size I should probably get? I'm a pretty big guy being 6'3" I usually wear size 12.5-13 training/running shoes. I checked the amazon page but they don't seem to have any sizes from 11 to 13. Any idea where I could possible get them in another size?

Cotton as in a boonie hat?

A boonie hat will soak up water/sweat to help cool you off, and a straw hat will allow more airflow to help cool you off.

Shoes: I wear my Doc Martens. I have 3 pairs that I rotate through so they have time to breathe and reduce foot funk. Each pair has gel inserts (Dr Scholl's I think?).

Scrubs: I swear by my dickies for bottoms and tops. I've tried various brands, these are the ones I like best.

Stethoscope: I haven't needed more than the disposable ones on the unit in 5 years of behavioral health. Been in the ER for 6 months, think I've needed a good stethoscope 3 times (2 asthmatics, 3rd time for bowel sounds on an obstruction).

Edit: clarified statement to reflect needing more than disposable stethoscope

By far the best purchase I’ve made https://www.amazon.com/Condor-Tactical-Fleece-Watch-Black/dp/B00F9IGIKO

I love those damn things. I can be inside a warm car and still have it on and not get overly hot, while I can be outside during my whole shift and feel warm.

I've been suffering from a neuropathy of some sort (not diabetes) for about 10 years, and for 90% of the time, all I can stand to wear have been the excellent Brooks Beast Running shoes. That's been hard for this 57 year old Iowa farm boy that grew up in boots.

I settled on a pair of Thorogood American Heritage work boots, and after a relatively uncomfortable afternoon of break in, they've been extraordinary. The wedge sole has been great for my back as well, although that's not the only option. I strongly encourage anyone to give them a shot:

Not going to Coachella this year but I've been there 8 or 9 times. I always wear military surplus boots. This style:

It's always worked just fine for me. But I'm also used to it since these are my every day shoes as well, I wear them for everything except weightlifting, which I have a dedicated pair of powerlifting shoes for.

[SELL] Size 7.5 Golden Fox Moc Toe Boots
I really like how these look, but they are too similar to another pair I already own. I just received them in mail and they are new with tags in original packaging. I am willing to part with them for $55 plus shipping.

Bought these and they work wonderfully

More comfortable than I expected

Option B: just adjust the grip strength of the shirt stay clasp.

It takes about 5 seconds to complete. Inspect the metal clasp that attaches to your shirt or your sock. You should see that one of the pieces is bent into a kind of L shape. To increase the grip strength, bend that inside piece so that it's more perpendicular.

This can be done by opening the clasp, inserting a thin piece of hard material (like a small metal nail file) through the back of the clasp, and then closing the clasp slightly. Small changes can have very large effects; don't overdo it.

Note that I'm talking specifically about this style of shirt stay. They only cost about $10 and they last for years with everyday use. You just need to tighten them from time to time as the elastic gradually stretches.

I really like the these Golden Fox boots. I bought a pair earlier this year and I think they look and feel great for the price.

A few months back there was some talk about the Golden Fox moc toe boots, you can find them on Amazon. I never really felt comfortable with the range of reviews or the quality of the leather so I decided to wait.

Fast forward to late October, I happened across a pair of Eastland moc toe boots at Nordstrom Rack for only $70. You can buy them new from their site here for $125 with a 15% off coupon if you sign up for their mailing list. I love them - been keeping my feet dry and warm through the Chicago winter thus far. Would recommend for the price point.

The goggles are ANSI and MIL-PRF rated, so that's good to go. Design looks identical to the Land Ops. It's part of the Striker line, like the Land Ops.

I like my Condor Multiwrap. Comfortable, breathable, and cheap. Can't ask for more.

Where are you playing? Anywhere urban or rocky I'd wear kneepads. If it's dirt, grass, or muddy they don't matter much.

I'm not too sure about Bandit's gear, but I do have a list of what I used for Mute.

In total cost me around $200-300 but you can definitely look for cheaper ones on other websites.

I went through two pairs of Keen Atlanta Cools during my 5 years on the ramp.

My only complaint was when it rained your feet WILL get soaked....

They are light, fit like a tennis shoe, and saved my toes countless times from towbars, tow heads, luggage, tools, single point nozzles, anything you can think of that would crush a rampers foot.

Surprised nobody's mentioned shirt stays. They might be annoying to put on if you need to wear dress shirts every day but the fact that they keep your shirt tucked in at all times means the amount of 'bagginess' you experience will almost always be nonexistent when you wear these. These are the ones I got years ago and they still work like a charm. I say try these before you go even go to a tailor

FYI slightly cheaper on Amazon

I copped one earlier this year, sleeves are pretty puffy, but I like the way it fits.

These Golden Fox Boots.

There's pretty cheap, but Goodyear welted and the leather/construction is quality (although not top-of-the-line). I own a pair of Chippewas, Bean Boots, and Iron Rangers, and these get the most compliments by far. They add some lighter colors to usual winter outfits that tend to be dark, they're big and chunky, and you'll get some solid years out of wearing them.

I really can't say enough good things about them.

Also if you ever wear tucked in button-down shirts, get a pair of shirt garters. Theyre super cheap but might feel a little odd for the first wear or two but they make a huge difference on how you look. Would always recommend.

It's not an easy find. I've been through more than I care to admit. I think the best pair I've ever had were from a small independent men's store. Check those in your area. I've also found okay ones at Army/Navy stores (they had them behind the counter). I've got these off Amazon, and they're shit. The foot loop ones always slide off my foot, so I don't use those. These are the type that I always use.

Rothco makes a good milspec boonie hat. It's hard to beat at $10 on Amazon. Lightweight, tough BDU fabric. Comes with chin strap, brim loops, and metal screen vents for the top. Can't go wrong at this price, I suggest giving one a try.

With winter approaching and being a student on a budget, I'm in desperate need of boots that aren't a high price, even though I'll be giving up some quality for it. Right now I'm stuck in between two boots, the Golden Fox 6" Moc Toe Boots and Crevo Moc Toe Boots. Not sure as to which to get. Any suggestions on either, or experience? And if you know a better boot that is preferrably under $100, please share.

I should have been more specific - Something like This

Or if you prefer a less chunky or more slender boot, something like This

Red Wing is the most comfortable but unfortunately don't breathe well.

My favorites are Keens work shoes

Most of the guys at my plant swear by Timberland work shoes

Going into electrical engineering you may want to look into some composite toes for electrical hazard protection.

Also, make sure you check with HR or your boss for compensation for protective equipment. If it's required to do your job they need to provide the funds for it.

I use a [Condor multi-wrap.] (https://www.amazon.com/Condor-MULTI-P-Multi-Wrap/dp/B0086UB82U?th=1&psc=1) It works quite well and can keep me cool on hot days and warm on cold ones.

Woah, really appreciate the detailed response! You really do utilize the bomber well in a lot of your fits.

I always see the AI slim MA-1 recommended, but the gold zippers and puffiness put me off. I do love the cut of Zara's bomber, but they don't currently have any in black. Killion offered an awesome bomber, but I missed the pre-order... Uniqlo and Gap both discontinued their black bombers. I really just want one with silver zippers and a matte or wool finish.

So currently I've been refreshing Grailed every day, but I still can't find the perfect one for under $150.

No, more like these

Not the same look, but those soles are better for icy/wet conditions

What are the differences between these two? Also what is the difference between brown and brun?

I use a rubber belt style shirt stay. Other comments are correct that shirts probably fitting you properly, but for $15 these can help a lot. I go all day looking exactly how I got dressed.

Is there a marked difference in leather and construction quality?

Shoes (100$ Budget) - Golden Fox boots would be a good choice if you want to spend $100 total on shoes and boots.

Chinos (60$ Budget) - You can get Elston 528s for around $30 a pair.

It looks like it. You can find the boots on amazon for the old prices, for example:

are the same, but amazon is 50% cheaper.

Golden Fox Moc Toe boots are around $60 and a very popular option on FMF.
A couple reviews:

Review One

Review Two

These are a good bang for your buck.

Midcaps or highcaps? Define "a few". You could tape them together, or get mag clamps. It's a pain if you run more than two and need to ditch the clamped ones, however.

Something like a Chicom chest-rig sounds about perfect for your needs.

Does anybody know if these Thorogood boots are waterproof? My cold, wet feet will thank you.

These turned out nice. For about $60 though, you could have gotten a new pair of these to break in.

Thorogood boots are about $125 shipped from Amazon.

Golden Fox boots are about $70 shipped from various third party sellers on Amazon.

They definitely help. I remember they use to sell a silicon belt that you put over your shirt, but under your belt line, that keeps the shirt in.

I was in the Army back when we used to always wear black boots. So I've put plenty of miles in these boots. and why I say you may want to look at actual combat boots.

Advantage is that the leather is long lasting and since they were made en-masse they are by definition cheap(as far as quality to price goes). And since they were supposed to be used to wear and tear friendly, they were made so you could easily re-sole them(especially the Corcoran Jump Boots )

Any military base close to you has cobblers (usually attached to a little Korean lady's sew shop) right off post that can re-sole the bottoms, since they are fairly stiff bottomed (steel plate in the sole to prevent punji sticks from piercing foot if stepped on)

Disadvantages: The Corcorans and most military boots have a stiffer ankle area, which you don't like. The ones that are the best for angle mobility are jungle boots They aren't BIFL, but rather BIF 2-3 years before you need to get them re-soled. Many of my friends bought them, then immediately had them re-soled so it would lose the stiff bottom and become a long lasting sneaker...

I preferred the Corcorans listed above, and will be getting a new pair as soon as my bunion surgery gets done.

But you might look at the original "GI Combat Boot"

Splits the difference between ankle mobility of Jungle Boots and BIFL-ness of Corcorans.

Last warning: Fakes / Knock-Offs

Corcorans have always been made by that single manufacturer so you don't need to worry about knockoffs (and they are the best). But the USGI Combat Boots AKA Recruit Boots and the USGI Jungle Boots have had knock off for a long time. Bad stitching, or just shittier quality materials usually. So if you see a pair that is $30-50 or seems too good to be true, pass on it. Most military boots are in the $99-200 range.

Swing by an Army Navy Store and start trying them on.

I use shirt garters. I hated them when I did honor guard in the military but when I started dressing up for work I realized I hated tucking in my shirt more. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00AERKG94/ref=mp_s_a_1_9?qid=1427503954&sr=8-9&pi=AC_SX110_SY165_QL70&keywords=shirt+garters+for+men
