Do Clothes Make The (Tractor) Man?

What is it about women and color and variety?

I just wear blue jeans, sneaks and a white T-shirt. The jeans do get hot in the summer, but protect my legs - I seem to be a mosquito magnet..........I've got plenty of head fur for protection, so I don't wear a hat when it gets too hot.........

( ( maybe some manure & cow slobber to boot )

Before I had cattle.. I never would have imagined how much a cow slobbered.. especially when watching you tote a feed bucket over to the trough..

Soundguy )

You feed your cows?? Mine don't know what feed is! They sure do like cow cookies, I mean range cubes, though. I toss them a few just to make sure they're glad to see me. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

btw, blue cotton work pants for me and button up shirts with a pocket for my glasses. All my tractors have tops so I usually don't worry about a hat, but I like the wide brim open weave straw hats that breathe. gabby

My father wore the bib overhauls and a straw hat all his farming life. Think they were very comfortable. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

( My father wore the bib overhauls )

My grandfather wore the denim bib overalls and long sleeved blue work shirt all the time. My dad preferred khaki, but did wear some variety. However, I don't suppose he ever owned a short sleeved shirt in his life; always wore long sleeves, while I almost never wear long sleeves.

Hate clothes.

Usually ride my tractor in afternoons after my after lunch hike for 3-4 miles in natural areas. On my hike, I wear hiking boots, a floppy hat and a towel draped over my shoulders closed in front with a clothes pin. Wear the hiking boots with socks because my feet crack with sandals. Otherwise, I'd be happy in sandals. Only wear the floppy hat and towel drape to keep the flies from driving me crazy. Otherwise, I'd just wear a sweat band made of a strip of old towel around my forehead.

You asked.

If I meet anyone down there (about 0.5% of the time), I either use the towel I'm sitting on or the drape towel as a coverup, if they have a problem with me. Most people don't.

I imagine that seat can get pretty hot in the afternoon sun /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif Or do you have some sort of 'breathable' fabric seat?

Me, I go for shorts and a Hawaiian Shirt

Every time I think about Ralph in his "outfit" on his tractor, I remember one reason to wear pants...
To protect yourself from any possible PTO injury. /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif

All nudists usually sit on towels. Easy to wash skid marks off them.

And there is a disturbing mental image. Although I think I'd rather meet up with a nudist in the woods than a man wearing a thong. At least I can understand why someone would be a nudist.
