I was read the Patagonia thread and it sparked my interest. What high end outdoor clothing does the OB wear on a daily basis? I typically wear oxford shirts and chino pants with boots to work. Interested to hear what other brands you fellas go with.

Now that it is warming up I have a few of these from Duluth trading in different colors. Comfy and functional. Made with some canvas fire hose type fabric so barbed wire or briars won't rip it

I have all kinds, recently ive started buying skre gear. It's much higher quality compared to the old stuff I have been using for years. Costs a bit more, but not as much as the other technical clothing companies.

None really. I have some HH gear, most of it I get on sale. Works as well as the "high end" stuff at half the price.

Pretty much this. Raised by two depression era parents who led me to believe we were poors so I still tend to live like a poor.

Prana pants. Their Axiom jeans have a bit of stretch to them and I may never buy anything else again. Their brions look like chinos but are cut well with a stretch material that allows me to rock climb in them. Highly recommend.

Arc'teryx. The Atom jacket may be the best thought out piece of clothing I've ever owned.

I like a lot of mountain hardware pants and jackets. Well made and comfortable

Outdoor research makes some great stuff

North Face still makes some great stuff if you get past their stuff designed to mass market.

I love the looks of my filson wool stuff but my technical clothing is more comfortable and keeps me warmer. The major exception is base layers, underwear and socks. Merino wool all day.

Yes, Filson is for the high end baws rolling that oiled canvas travel bag through the airport going upland hunting. That would be the OT equivalent for good "outdoor" clothing.





A Filson jacket is the fancy man's equivalent to a Carhartt jacket.

I keep a Shelta hat in my truck at all times. I wear a Saddleback Leather belt, and carry their front pocket wallet. Mountain Khaki or Kuhl jeans/pants. Darn Tough socks. Tommy Johns drawers.

I don't know if any of that classifies as high end, but I like stuff that lasts, and I'd rather buy once cry once.

Not sure if it's "high end" but Columbia shirts, almost daily in the summer. Tamiami II's.

Also have a couple of Columbia jackets and several pants.

My Filson jacket is 20+ years old, and traveled many a mile across a large swath of the midwest hunting and works great for casual and hunting wear. I have zero complaints.

Yep, I grew up poor. I'm not spending $300 on a jacket I can get for less than a hundred.

Went thru a "highend" phase with that oil money back in the gap. Fell on my face and now back up. I have leaned one thing about high end gear. Its not worth the price for such small gains in performance.
