Just go buy some cheap painter coveralls. when they get torn or dirty throw them away. Good thing to keep in the trunk of the car.

Good old Sears has the one piece Dickies in short sleave (which I prefer - just wear an old sweatshirt underit if it gets cold).
Our local Amy Navy store has them also, as well as the Carhart brand insulated version.

Hey Britt, what happened to that break you were taking (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif) The paint suit is a good cheap way. Any place that sells paint usually has them. Paint Mart?

Sportsmansguide.com often has mil-surplus and closeout stuff.
also sierratradingpost.com for closeouts, overstocks, and irregulars.

i like BDU's because they are cheap, durable, and have lots of pockets. for shirts - well - i have a lot of old event T-shirts... in the event of an "in-service" repair, i almost always have a beach-size towel in the car (because i have an old Targa and it rains here a lot...) available for use as a ground cloth.

Actually, I wasn't kidding. A one piece leisure suit like the old guys(really old guys) wear works great and is very light weight.

I got a one piece coverall real cheap at K-Mart. Stay away from synthetics, especially if you plan on welding, as you will find the new holes in the coveralls match up exactly with your newly roasted skin. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/headbang.gif)

I got some Ben Davis coveralls at Orchard Supply Hardware for about $35. Probably not the cheapest ones you can get but they are very durable.

Use all those free t-shirts the credit card companies on campus give you for signing up, plus the ones recruiters give out at job fairs. That and a worn out pair of jeans and you are set.
