Never judge a man by the thickness of his wallet, the caliber of his guns or the length of his bar....
Keep sawdust out of your gloves.

I dont't like when it gets in the boots. Usually don't happen though cause the pant leg is always left covering the top. Once it gets in you're pants it starts to feel better after the sweat soaks it and softens it up.lol

These will make you a happy man. I really like these anytime I'm out in the thick stuff or sawing.

Yep, those would work keeping it out of your laces. also would keep brush from untying the boot straps. I always double tie mine to help with that.

The top of the sock has two layers, and the outside rolls down over the top of your boot. They keep dirt or chips from getting down into your boots. (in case ya didn't catch that "))
reminds me of a funny moment.
my lady and i took down a couple of aspens (the house in colorado, not chicago) in the front yard and we were both bucking them as the thinner trees give her an opportunity to run the smaller saw (she's a petite thing and only cuddles with the 372 for warmth, doesn't run it), after completing the task and downin a cold one, we both collapsed into bed fully clothed for some frisky time.
didn't take long for us to wonder what the heck had gotten into the bed... turns out both of our pants cuffs were chock full of chips.

If your cutting wood with those loose wristed leather gloves and you find they fill with sawdust as the pinky finger does first, simply take your axe with the glove on a stump and lop the end of the fingers off and you'll have no more accumalation of chips. Take your hand out of the glove first though.

Or your socks. That is the worst. None of the rest is an issue, but the slivers in my socks are really frustrating.

I have the same problem and I usually forget then take it off in the house then look out the wife starts telling me how I should check the pockets. I want to choke myself I though about trying to remove the pocket. I buy most of my clothes at the salvation army so it will not be a large monetary loss.
Then follow the OP's advice, and wear your socks on your arms. Problem solved!
