Work boots. Jeans with cuffs rolled up. Red or grey plaid flannel shirt, sleeves rolled to the elbow. Tuque. Chopping axe.

And I wear it every day.

I know you asked us to leave the name of the country, but I think it's more fun to leave it like this, knowing that most people will probably guess.

It can’t be, when I type traditional Canadian clothing into Google, I get a bunch of pictures of guys dressed like Mounties.

Google has certainly led you astray.

The daily uniform is as I described above. And the after work attire is what's known as the Canadian tuxedo.

The tuxedo is a head to toe combination of denim jeans, denim shirt, and denim jacket.

America here. We're odd on that wed have two sets of traditional costume. One would be traditional native American wear, and the other would be cowboy/prairie attire.

What baffles me is that despite that, whenever there was an international food festival at my school, the US booth operators dressed like Uncle Sam instead.

Yup, a well-recogized character that by no means dresses traditionally. Granted, depending on the era you went to school, dressing as cowboys or native anericans could be seen (wrongly) as racist, so if it was within the past 10 years I wouldn't blame them going with the safer option, socially.
