    And as I'm sure you're well aware of, once a well worn kilt is brought up, it takes quite a while for "things" to settle down... --grins--

    My dad's last station was K.I. Sawyer in Yooper Land as it was the closest base to home.

    What are going to Manitowoc for? I grew up in Stevens Point (where family is from) and Minocqua (where grand parents lived. Went to school at MTU in Houghton for a year, then Madison at UW for another until I ran out of money. No loans, but that was back in 1978. Still have relatives all over Wisconsin and the Yooper but they are slowly dying off.

    Well met...and thank you for your service. You know, if this work apparel trend continues to be "trendy", I'm afraid my occupational "unique" may end up being perceived as societal "eunuch"!

    I was in the Navy myself but I spent 6 years in Idaho at the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory (INEL) in Idaho Falls, well, the desert outside the city.Anyway, used to Mountain Home and Malmstrom AFB's for clothing. They had plenty of cold weather gear available. Now I don't need that much down here and the utility I work for fitted me with a lot of outdoor insulated gear.

    Cannon AFB....last TDY...Sep. 88' they didn't have canvas Mukluks. Had to trade Minot and Grand Forks for those. Military canvas Mukluks haven't been "merchandised" yet.....they are expensive enough as is. Invaluable in YOOPER LAND!

    Thanks, I find most of my stuff online now. I use Giant, 1791 and a couple of other sites for work jeans and t-shirts. For flannel and boots, I use Duluth Trading or some other similar site. Being retires military I have several places available for boots including US Cavalry and the military clothing store on Cannon AFB.

    I'm heading to Manitowoc in two days....what can I get you? I make the East / West transit quite often. I remember Gebo's and TS when I lived in Lubbock. How work clothes became "trendy" I'll never guess....hard to keep pace with the rate of change...reference Morris Massey "what you are is where you were when".

    I had Fleet Farm where I grew up in Wisconsin and used to shop there quite a bit. However, Where I am in New Mexico, we do not have those. I have Gebo's and Tractor Supply but they are not real big on clothing.

    I was stationed in Lubbock Tx in the late 80''s. Big hats..no cows. One of these "urban cowboys" was giving me a little grief about my sneakers. So...I had to ask...did he know the origin of his "boots"??? He wasn't too clear on this point. So...I explained the circumstance of shepherds and the need for a taller "upper" to keep dew from saturating their leggings. I then began to expound on the secondary purpose....to keep the sheep's legs constrained.....and the fight was on!
