I like how they look. rugged and awesome.

Know when seeking advice online bigger guy means zero. Bigger as in 6'5"? Bigger as in 400lbs?

Part of BIFL is care and hanging dry shirts should be part of your routine even if you have a 312 Stainless Steel T-shirt that is BIFL.

The brand Homage has been great, I have t shirts that are over 10 years old.

Can't sleep with all those red lights on

Buck Mason - I’m on the small side of big and tall so big and tall are always balloons on me. Retail XLT fit but are rare. Buck Mason CURVED HEM tees fit, wash, wear, and maintain. They’ve got a ton of different colors and are sewn in the states. Big fan.

Lands end super-T, the one for tall people. Get the newsletter for a discount code. The full price is nonsense.

As far as I know, made in USA is tempered, made in France is borosilicate. You can tell the difference easily by the blue hue in the glass.

Quarter inch socket wrench plus extenders would be all-metal. A bit ungainly to maneuver at times, but would last a lifetime.

Yes, i was considering Wera. I might have to accept that most handles are plastic, but plastic ages and becomes brittle while metals can last for centuries if taken care of. Another option would be wooden handle which could easily be replaced.

My favorite thing about Zebra pens is the silly video. It's actually a pretty OK pen too, just may not be the %woo-hoo you're after. The stainless F-701 is my edc.

For sheer writing comfort, my top inexpensive pick is Pilot's G2 rolling ball gel pen in either 0.7mm or 1.0mm.

Wera Kompakt bitholding drivers are well made. As for handle composition, most drivers these days have plastic handles, I think appropriately.

Carhartt pocket Ts and henleys

Duluth

Into the AM

I can hear this photo.

I learned about American Giant from this sub and I really like them. My brought bought about 5 tees from them and LOVES them! Good luck in your search.

Can confirm Duluth is great. Even if made overseas I believe.

Just recently got several Buck Naked Bullpen. Amazing.

Thrifted some Ballroom Flex. Rugged, thick, heavy, comfortable, huge pockets.

More recently a long sleeve longtail, and a black Tshirt with breast pocket. All built like tanks.

Also even more recently some kind of less well built khaki type pant in gray...I don't think it's a fire hose pant, but whatever it was and whoever wore it, they wore the SHIT out of it. There's only a few noticable wear spots I'll be having fixed, then I'll dye it black, and it needs some alterations to fit a little better. Then it'll go at least 10 years I bet before any real signs of wear.

Like Carhartt (Which I don't ESPECIALLY recommend anymore, esp for the price) sizing is very generous and you may want to go over size down. (For shirts, get regular size in boxers.)

Carhartt may still be good for pants and coveralls but imo you can't beat Wrangler Riggs, or any solid nylon, cotton, or poly cotton canvas rip stop from a good brand. I've also got some cotton canvas tech pants from Wrangler from Ross recently and they're VERY solid. I DON'T recommend their regular jeans. There's a million models and makes and it depends on where it's made and where you buy...but I did find two very very well made pairs of jeans eventually, but they were too big so I retired them.

FWIW, I know people who claim quality has gone down, but I've tried plenty from LL Bean, and maybe it's vintage but still looks practically new, but still seems incredibly tough and solid and thick to me. Particularly their sweaters, polos, shirts, jackets. Just good ol thiiiick cotton.

I saw recently the protip is to go to craft stores and get the ultimate heavyweight and the triple weight variants or something like that, basically the most durable for each brand.

Based on the comments, the top 3-5 most recommended brands for long-lasting men's t-shirts are:

1. Duluth Trading Company - known for their Longtail T-shirts and heavyweight options that hold up well over time.
2. Comfort Colors - known for their garment-dyed, sturdy, and long-lasting material that can take a beating.
3. Carhartt - known for their thick and durable work shirts that are good for style and functionality.
4. Uniqlo U - known for their 100% cotton tee version that is really thick and heavy, and can last for 2+ years with regular wear.
5. Eddie Bauer - known for their incredible thick t-shirts that are well-fitting and can last for years to come.

Yes, that one is nice for consumer electronics, but im afraid i might break it. The bit holder has to be steel. Thanks anyway.

Looking at the first picture on the homepage, they don't sell t-shirts, they sell tents.
