TBN's Warriors....so how do you dress for battle

Spiveyman · Aug 4, 2007

Below is my preferred dress, however the chinks get mighty hot in the summer!

I'm pretty fair skinned, so it's jeans, long sleeve T, gloves, boots (real boots), and a hat (real hat). I'm not from Texas, but I always wanted to be. Figre I'd have made it to 6 foot tall if I'd been born in Texas.

DrainPondDesign,
That outfit sounds great, but what are you going to do if you get to the far end of the driveway, or maybe even a few yards up the road and something happens to stop the tractor?
That means your going to have to grab the cellphone, call the wife, who will have to get dressed to bring the car so you can go back to the house and get dressed so you can work on the tractor.
Cabs are nice, but don't get too accustomed to it.

Could've fooled me. You look great in that outfit man!
What is that wheel gun strapped on... a Smith or Colt maybe?

Thanks. I wish it were an original, but it's an Uberti - which are quite honestly built as good or better than the originals, but I can't afford the real deal. That one is a replica of an 1873 Colt "Regulator" chambered in .44-40 with a 4 3/4" barrel. The shorter barrel helps clear the rig faster so you can get a draw on that rascaly groundhog!

I'd post a picture of it, but I'm not sure if that's "legal" here. For sure it's off topic. So to bring it back around, for wintertime (which isn't that bad in KY) It's Carhardt bibs and jacket with muck boots most of the time.

I'd be glad to, I just didn't want to hi-jack the thread. Seriously though, save the gunbelt and chinks, that's not far from what I dress in on my tractor, and actually, I do prefer to pack when I'm waaaaaay in the back, so this is really close to being on topic....

Nope! We're a little behind the times here, cell phones don't work at our place so it's one cold walk back to the house if the tractor quits. On the plus side the path back is cleared & it's a down hill slide if I slip. 45 degrees F this morning, time to get the tractor serviced for winter.
