[QUOTE="Zeno Marx, post: 521619, member: 1211"] I worked trail maintenance and building in a state park. Wore jeans and a shortsleeve T-shirt. Worked in a steel mill where it could be 140 degrees and more. Wore jeans and a longsleeve flannel. I never liked jeans, but at the time, I did't realize the options. I also wore what I had, which was straight-legged Levis. I wish I'd at least bought some dungarees. So what I'm saying it is as much about fit as it is materials. Loose, comfortable fitting jeans would be fine for outside work. Old casual khakis would also be fine, because of that loose and comfortable fit. Also, in unbearable heat, sometimes more clothes are better than lesser clothes, as huffelpuff said. When I work around the house, do lawn work, etc, I prefer a thin linen button-down longsleeve (old dress shirt) and these super thin nylon athletic pants that are ugly as sin but cover my legs. In other words, I like to only have my hands and head exposed. I don't tend to wear a hat. [/QUOTE]
