Not whole set of working clothes, but I want use this thread to recommend incredibly good and durable labour work safety shoes from Sievi, a Finnish company specializing in those kind of shoes: https://www.sievi.com/

Have kept me safe and comfortable for years when I've needed such shoes.

I can confirm this. I have several pairs from them around. And I should go and buy a new pair for garage work since I abused previous ones to death.

Not the cheapest around, but well worth the money.

Another comment from the original post:

Really good but the owner tried/tries to stop wind turbines being build in their city

My heart broke as I own everything from socks and boxers to trousers and tees ๐Ÿ˜ญ

It's very durable but also tends to contain synthetic fibers
