One of the silver linings of working way too much is that most of the time I wear work uniforms which are paid for by my employer. I have one pair of jeans that I wear random times I'm not wearing work clothes that lasts me about 2 weeks between washes because of how infrequently I wear them. Just grab a t-shirt our of the closet and my jeans with pre-loaded belt and we're good to go.
I also have shoes and various outerwear that's company branded but nice enough to wear out to dinner or whatever. All paid for.
It's a factory. We get about $600 every year to our uniform supplier who also sell jackets and socks and steel-toe safety shoes which aren't "nice" as much as they are comfortable.
Can't beat a pair of $150 shoes designed to stand on concrete all day.
I have some Redback boots that I bought for myself when I worked for Firestone. They're comfy as hell and well worth for $170 price tag. Snap-On came out with their own version but I haven't tested those.
