Tired
Even Steve's overalls look tired after a long day working on the new house. The way they hang there on the little hook in the bathroom, they look both rugged and exhausted. And usually dirty. I remember my dad's overalls in a similar way when he did the addition on the house. They are an image of the work. Worn, they are empowering. There are pockets for just about anything you could need or want at your fingertips. They won't slouch. There's no uncomfortable belt. Off, they always carry reminders -- a stain, a little tear, the faint odor of sawdust, paint, or solder. Off, they always look relaxed.
