Default Durable work clothes?
I need some moto-friendly khakis, work shirts, and brown moto-boots. Gander Mountain has some very decent, heavy-weight stuff. Any other folks here that ride to a dress-casual job? What works for you?

I just wear my normal clothes and know I'm gonna lose the skin on my legs if I crash.
I'm fully protected except my legs, cause I'm too cheap to buy some overpants.
Even if I had some, I'd probably only wear them in the winter.

+1 on Dickies; I wore their stuff for years in the factory. Carhartt also makes excellent stuff.

Check out the 5.11 tactical series from LA Police Gear. Their shipping is super fast... I actually received the product before my credit card had been debited!

I wear wolverine boots with Dickies kahki pants to work when I have meetings to attend and riding my bike to the office. Below are the boots I wear. I did a quick search but I buy mine from the shoe station for like $60. They last for years.

+1 for Carhartt.....also Wrangler has some nice Cargo style casual pants that work great, priced right, and they are available at WalMart.
