1620 is probably the best high end workwear but honestly I like Carhartts duck cloth. It works great and you can get a jacket for a fraction of the price as 1620. I would advise against waxed jackets, they are a maintenance issue and while were practical back in the olden times, they are more now a novelty and stylish statement, not the most practical work wear material at all.

My socks I get from Costco, usually puma or adidas are pretty comfortable. I’m not saying they are better than DT by any means. I love wool but $16 for only 1 pair…I have a huge sock drawer for the same price as probably 3 pairs of DT’s and I never have to worry about laundry or running out. Since I have so many they last a very long time. It’s easier and more convenient for me, to do that I’d need to spend hundred of dollars from DT which I personally would rather spend on other products. Just my 2 cents.

Never understood the “they last forever argument”….I’m sure they perform really well as wool is a miracle material, especially for colder months but to spend $15 for a pair of socks that last a few years then you have to go through the trouble of warranty seems a bit ridiculous. Just buy cheap socks from name brands like adidas and buy 2 dozen for the same price as 2 pairs of darn toughs and abuse the hell out of them and replace as needed. Since you have so many pairs you only wear the same pair once a month. They last very long when you do this.

They last forever if all you’re doing is normal everyday stuff and not doing field work in them daily. I like mine but if I could choose again I’d get the Tom beckbe waced jacket. Looks like it has more functional pockets and isn’t as popular as barbours. My biggest complaint is you can spot a Barbour anytime someone wears them and ALOT of people wear them.
