Find quality workwear for a genuine value at Blain’s Farm & Fleet.

You work hard on the job and your workwear should, too. That’s why at Blain’s Farm & Fleet, we offer women’s and men’s clothes from time-tested, trusted brands like Carhartt, Work n’ Sport, Dickies, and more.

When your old work clothes just aren’t cutting it anymore, it’s time to find new workwear at a genuine value. Here are four signs that it’s time for some new work clothes.

1. Your workwear smells

While most work-related odors can come out in the washing machine or with fabric spray, some will never go away. If you have workwear that smells, it’s time to replace it.

2. Your workwear has holes or tears in it

Obviously if your current workwear is falling apart, it’s time to go shopping. Not only will your appearance suffer, but it can be unsafe on the job.

This is especially true for work boots and work gloves. When you’re looking for new work boots, go with trusted, durable brands like Cat Footwear or Wolverine. You should also look for work gloves that are best for the job. Opt for sturdy leather work gloves with great puncture and abrasion resistance.

3. Your workwear isn’t up to safety regulations

No matter your job field, there are most likely safety regulations and requirements you need to follow. This includes what you wear.

For example, construction and highway workers are required to follow ANSI standards and wear high-visibility clothing. It makes them more visible to traffic on and near the jobsite.

Depending on the company you work for and the type of work you do, you may need hi-vis clothing. It could be a simple hi-vis vest or an entire hi-vis outfit.

4. Your workwear doesn’t fit

This can go either way. Maybe you’ve worn your workwear so much, it’s stretched out. Or maybe you accidentally shrunk your favorite old work shirt. Whatever the case, if the clothes don’t fit, it’s time for some new ones.

At Blain’s Farm & Fleet, you’ll find women’s and men’s clothes that are suited for the job. Whether you’re trying to find the right scrubs, choosing the best leather work gloves, or somewhere in-between, we have the workwear you need.
