I’m at a point in life where I appreciate quality products, when I find one - I stick with it.
Yesterday I filled my Stihl chainsaw up with gas and bar and chain oil, but I misjudged the oil level and filled it to overflowing. It’s not the first time I’ve done this, but I was too lazy to go get a rag and wipe up the excess oil. I flipped the saw upright, and immediately saw oil on my left boot. It’ll give my Ariat boots a ‘worked in’ look…no problem.
About a minute later, I saw the rest of the oil dripping down the left thigh of my brand new TRUEWERK T2 work pants. I just ruined a pair of pricey work pants. This pair of pants will join the cadre of Carhartt pants I’ve spilled oil on, gotten grease on, or brushed up against wet paint with.
I continued with my work, cut down the tree that needed to be cut down and dug out its stump with the backhoe, getting dirtier as the afternoon went on.
I went inside and announced to my wife that I’d managed to ruin yet another set of pants, relegating them to the growing pile of ‘only wear when working around the house’ pants in my collection.
I tossed them in the washing machine with my other dirty laundry, then the dryer, and when I pulled them out to fold - NO OIL STAIN! In fact they looked like I’d just pulled them out of the monster zip-lock bag that Truewerk products ship in. From experience (lots of it) I know that this incident would have ruined my other favorite brands of pants - Carhartt and Kuhl.
They are also some of the most comfortable pants I’ve ever worn. They make several versions based upon temperature: T1s are lightweight (I don’t own any yet), T2s are mid-weight and wind proof (comfortable between about 40-60 degrees), and T3s which are lined (cold weather).
TRUEWERK doesn’t know me, they don’t pay me, I paid $89 for this pair of pants out of my own pocket, but I’m now a Truewerk fan for life!
