Which Drills?
I have used King Gee work clothes for a long time now. In recent years I have found their durability has fallen somewhat. They seem more like a handyman or general work ware type of clothing and don't last long in the welding/grinding/oxy cutting/gauging environment anymore. I tried Bisley as they seem to be made of thicker material, but the pants started to fall apart after only a short time. The Lowes brand actually lasted the most but with repeated welding and washing the colour faded to a horrible light purple.
What is everyone using and how do they last?
