Work to Become, Not to Achieve

We recently signed on to work with Oxen Workwear. Based in Brooklyn, NY they are an aspiring new brand that crosses traditional work style pants with a more new school artisan approach.

Rather than us do the talking, we’ll let one of their consumers – with this excerpt from a recent email that includes horses and near tragedy.

I am trying to contact whomever it may concern to brag about Oxen workwear. I had a pair of the double knee carpenter khaki jeans. I purchased them for work and found them to be comfortable enough to wear riding horses and around the house because they fit perfectly.

I was on a horse ride one evening when tragedy struck. My horse reared up and fell on top of me. I couldn’t move, so the paramedics were called. When they got there, they unfortunately had to cut off the pants.

I write to tell you this story because the paramedics found their scissors to be inadequate for my workwear pants. In fact, I quote the EMS worker, “Where can I get a pair of these pants? These are the toughest pants I have ever tried cutting off, even tougher than Carhartt’s.” I told them I got them in North Carolina but wasn’t sure where I could get them near Rogersville, TN. While I am very disappointed I lost my favorite pair of not only work pants but everyday pants as well, I thought Oxen would love to hear my story. I would love to get a new pair of double knee khaki workwear pants as soon as possible, but I would also like to try the regular jeans. I would love to hear back from you regarding this story.

Sincerely,
Benjamin Stephens
