UK Comparison, Workman's to Survival

[Iolaus]

Could be; recently, I took the pockets off and it seemed to lie a bit flatter - I still prefer the Workman though.

I love them both, have three of each. On a trip "down south" but "up the mountain" to Flagstaff. Brought all three Workman's with me to wear. Warm, more of a "funky" look in a college town. Found a kelly green hooded sweat on sale at Northern Arizona University bookstore that looks great with the caramel workman's...kelly green and saffron (caramel). And another hooded sweat in chocolate brown that looks great with my chocolate workman's. A good trip except for haveing to sit through hours of company training. But if you're gonna sit, nothing beats a kilt. Passed out some cards to curious coworkers.

Big thing for me with the Survival is being able to remove the cargo pockets for a "mocker" look...more "mocker" colors. Or to be able to switch the pockets for a contrasting look, like tan cargo pockets on the basil Survival.

I think someone pointed out that you can also snap survival cargo pockets to the snaps on the workman's.

I enjoy all my UKs, but the workman's and survival IIs get the most wear from me. They're sorta like....(gasp)...jeans.....

Ron, never thought about trading the pockets (although I don't have a survival or workman's (yet)), but I bet it looks great!

And I'll bet that your survival and workman's are much more comfortable than jeans, and will last a lot longer. I took your comment to mean "the comfortable garment I am mostly likely to throw on for just about any occasion that is not formal!".

Stopped off at a state government office in Flagstaff on my way home. Was wearing my new chocolate workman's. Two ladies in the office went ga-ga over the kilt, asked all sorts of questions. One lady thought it was Carhardt material...said its probably the same stuff...told her about the caramel being a more common Carhardt color...they wanted to know about the kilt hose and flashes too....yup, they work with UKs too.

Found out on the drive home that the chocolate UK is the PERFECT kilt to wear if you're gonna drive and eat a chocolate ice cream bar at the same time...drips don't show :-P
