  1 0 Can you be more specific? If you mean carhartts and logger shirts, then I'd try Goodwill. Most of the people I know who work outside all wear the same things: -heavy boots, often steel-toed -carhartt pants (the kind that, over time, go from a dark butterscotch to a light tan) -some kind of wicking/wool layer on top It's pretty basic...

Your suggestions are great and realistically probably what I will end up doing. Mister Cagro commented about 1 year ago | Report 1 0 Yeah. I know a lot of people who work outside here in the PNW for a living, and really, what they wear is basically what I listed above. It's almost never the fancy stuff from REI (which is effective, but not super durable in the long run if you will be abrading the fabric with dirt/bark/etc). Go check out Outdoor Emporium in Sodo (right next to Filson). I've gotten carhartts and heavy-duty rain-gear there. Most of their stuff is geared towards industrial and people who work outside, so you'll find everything from impervious Deadliest Catch-style waterproof overalls to steel-toed boots, as well as a good collection of rugged outdoor equipment. MyrnaMinkoff commented about 1 year ago | Report 1 0 The only thing I'd change is the boots -- loggers don't like steel-toed boots, because if a log falls on your foot there isn't a steel toe in the world that can protect you, and in fact the weight of the log will pinch that baby flat with ease, thereby removing the entire front half of your foot. A smushed foot can sometimes heal; a pinched-off one, never. Logger boots are called "corks", which for some reason refers to the metal studs -- protruding nails or screws -- on the sole, for better grip on wet logs. Sort of like cleats, but smaller and more numerous. Nothing to do with cork. Some places call them "calks". You won't find used corks anywhere that I've ever heard of; you buy them new, from an outfitters like Wood's in Sedro Wooley. They won't have them at Outdoor Emporium. For a movie you could probably get away with just any old high-topped laceup boots and heavy-duty raingear.

  1 0 You're going to have to leave Seattle for this one. Try the Deming Log Show in Deming, Washington (Whatcom County, East of Bellingham). http://www.demingloggingshow.com/ Aberdeen, Port Angeles, and Forks would be other places I'd recommend shopping. soundslikepuget answered in Whatever about 1 year ago | Report 2 comments by MyrnaMinkoff and Mister Cagro… 1 0 Oh man, I drove through Morton, Wa last summer during their Loggerfest. I couldn't stop because I hadn't showered for a week and badly needed to get home, but I wish I had! I might make the trip out next summer. MyrnaMinkoff commented about 1 year ago | Report 0 0 That sounds awesome, thanks!

  0 0 You might have good luck finding some relevant hardware (chains, sawblades, spikes) at a surplus store.
