Dickies Model
I modeled some Dickies wear for the Workstylz.com site I’m working on currently. (I mostly shot though – being in front of the camera gives me a frustrating lack of control and I don’t like it as much as taking the images). Surprisingly comfortable, I now live in my Dickies jacket and pants.
