work clothing

[Dannypipe]

Oh I recently bought a pair of Helly Hanson that were on special offer in Screw Fix. They aren't bad. Don't wear them often though.

Goad we're all wearing designer clothing for work! Sixty quid for the privelege of covering your trousers in silicon. Anyway can't see past Durakit from Toolstation, hard wearing, plenty of pockets and is well priced. Otherwise a 3 quid pair of Asda jeans and a tenner pair of overalls.

Plenty of guys on this thread seem to be spending a fortune on mulitple pairs of £60 trousers, I have one pair only and they are the CAT ones. I take them off when I get in and they last all week without being washed unless I'm unblocking toilets etc.

I have the same problem with them as I have with all trousers in that you stand up, tuck yourself in, pull them so far up that you have one of those ball v.......a's and tighten them so tight you look like an egg timer but as soon as you kneel down they are round your ankels faster than you can say... "they've taken my boxer's down with them". :banghead:

Snickers all the way for me. I know they are £60 a pair but the knee pads that go in them are fantastic. I don't get sore knees doing my job any more. This for me is worth £60 a pair as it means I will be able to keep my knees in good shape when I get older!

Mmmmmm Snickers.... Oooops wrong post!

£12 camo trousers from tesco for me, would never pay £60 for work clothes..........would rather use the money on new tools, and a must have is either knee pads or foam mat for me, 3 knee ops in 3 years and im only 27!

Is that because you haven't spent £60 on a decent pair of trousers with knee pads?

[GQuigley67]

I always wear knee pads, hate it when i don't have them, well I buy trousers with knee pads I don't like the strap on ones.

Yep i got dodgy knees! ruptured my ACL 3 Years ago was off work for 8 months and had intensive physio, they had to remove a part of my hamstring to use as a graft for a new cruciate ligiment, then in the past 2 years ive had to ops to remove cartlidge and bone from both knees, needless to say i cant play football either:sad_smile:

Snickers for me, if you shop around you can get a good deal. I got two pairs and a belt and kneepads for just over 100 quid last year. I'm well happy with them
