Is workwear the redpill? If I want good quality, long lasting, good price products is it the only way to go?

I wouldn’t say it’s cheap. It isn’t uncomfortable, think about it. Work wear is meant to be comfortable and durable, which it is.

as someone who works outside in hot ass weather all summer, there is no solution. just wear some technical fabrics that quick dry and are easy to wash. i guess all merino wool underwear with some hiking style pants would be the best but it doesn't matter, you're gonna be soaked. 100% cotton jeans are a terrible choice and will keep you soggy all day
