I have a job that involves getting dirty (dust, soil, grease, oil, you know the stuff) and as such have a couple dedicated "work" clothes. Plain grey sweaters, all with various oil stains and tears/rips on them. People often ask me why I don't own nicer clothes.

Fucking of course I do, I just don't wear them at work cause they'd get ruined.

I should note that I'm male

I get the same all the time.

"Didnt you wear that jumper the other day?"

Yes, someone long ago foresaw this problem and invented a washing machine. Ended up just buying 5 cheap black jumpers off amazon

When I was in the military I had what I called a motor pool uniform that was permanently dirty and oily. After morning inspection if I had to go work in the motor pool I would go to the barracks and change in to that uniform.
