We all expensed it to the project. I still have that rain gear, well made Columbia. Work clothes? That's a stretch plus there are personal preferences. Mine is a long-sleeved Dickies work shirt and baggie convertible pants with lots of big pockets. Jeans, no, too tight and a dearth of pockets. Find the right project and expense away.BrownsBayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03969021391279264412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5950727852821572506.post-27925481781723064652010-05-18T07:36:40.655-04:002010-05-18T07:36:40.655-04:00There isn't much to it; you save your receipts...There isn't much to it; you save your receipts and list the items as deductions on your tax formC W Mageehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09706100504739548720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5950727852821572506.post-10052303956470215762010-05-04T12:20:17.226-04:002010-05-04T12:20:17.226-04:00Great idea.

So even though you buy your own, most of it comes back at tax time, so long as you bought proper gear. It's a good system. While I just bought really cheap cloths on the understanding that they wouldn't last the season, I claimed my perscription safety glasses and steecaps that way.C W Mageehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09706100504739548720noreply@blogger.com
