Welcome from Ft. Worth! The UK's are great as like you, I wear mine like jeans as they can't be beat for that purpose. The Workman is awesome and I really enjoy my Survivor for hiking. I got married in a black Mocker, and gave one to my best man as his gift. He rode away on his Harley to go on a date wearing it later that day, and I'm wearing my blue jean UK right now. It's just too bad they got SO expensive! For the price of a UK now, I might as well buy a tartan kilt, which now I have two. Last weekend I found out my New Rock boots that go so well with my UK's actually look good with one of my tartans (unknown, but I call it my summer tartan). Rock on, Bro. Fifteen months is too long of a silence. We are non-conformists, and it's good to hear from you!
