Following up on my post from last week on the search for a modern logging smock, I'm posting a few more images from Clark and Darrius Kinsey photograph collection from the University of Washington. Given the current detachment of workwear fashion from functional use (which, in the end, seems fine), it's nice to revisit the workwear look in its original context.

If you like these images, you can order prints or higher resolution digital files directly from the UW Special Collections department here.
