    Workwear, other than Mark's (preferably West end)

    Summer's coming and I need to update my rags.. Mark's has a very limited selection of work cargos that'll fit me (they seem to be switching over to casual crap these days), so I wanted to see what else is out there. Specifically looking for cargos with kneepad pockets, preferably in navy but black will do without too much drama from the bossman. Thanks in advance guys

    Check LeBaron out they got some decent workpants... they have good ones with patches of material sewn into the crotch too so that they dont bunch up when you're crouching etc.

    Work Authority at the Heartland Mall in Mississauga. Them and Marks are the only two decent choices left in the west end. I'm still debating where to spend my clothing voucher from work lol. Work Authority beats Marks for work shoes by a mile, but clothing is rather limited nowadays too.

    they need boots without the "oil resistant" label.

    Those are pretty slick on ice and I want a boot that lace all the way up in winter

    I guess they should change the name from Mark's "Work warehouse" to Mark's "casual clothes" eh?
    Kinda like Canadian Tire, should be called the Kitchen and Bathroom Store.

    Check out tactical products canada. They're in mississauga. They have all sorts of work wear that might strike your fancy. Not to mention some awesome knives, watches and backpacks.

    I score a pair of their boots and a pair of tactical pants. Things are freaking awesome

    Thanks for the tips guys. Keep'em coming if you have some new ones. These would do http://www.dickies.ca/mens-clothing/...Pant-19393.jsp so they might even be available @ wally's world. Don't feel like going all the way to Milton as TSC is the only place that has'em.

    I bought a Dickies vest there that is great for working outside for $15 that I saw a guy in Walmart pay $50 for the same one. They had lots of clothes and the store was huge. Maybe give them a call first to see if they carry other workwear.

    It did change its name, it is now called Mark's "smart clothing, everyday living"

    Is that offer only extended to OP or anybody?

    If so, and they do NOT bear the label "oil resistant" I'd like a pair

    ....not really west end but I always go to Harry Davids in Kensington market on Augusta Ave. Tons of boots and workwear at discounted pricing. He's well known in the construction industry. Theres also a competitor right beside.
