Title: Filthy Trousers.
Post by: geefree on September 26, 2008, 05:40:03 pm
Hi,

I use combat trousers for work, started this morning , after 2 cleans they were filthy with the hose dragging through gardens etc... come lunchtime i felt like going home and changing...

do any of you use similar, which could be wiped down easily... i have waterproof  bottoms but i dont want to be wearing those everyday.

Thanks.

2 cleans and dirty? where have you been working - a farm? :P

Been wearing the same pair or work trousers all week - brush down after every customer with a clothes brush too.

i like to look presentable at each house.... looking scruffy does not look appealing for my image, or reputation.

Sorry Gazz just in a stupid mood.

I have a high nylon content in my trousers which means if you sponge them down they do not look to bad + a dark culor helps.

When I reel in I use an old cloth and run the pipe through it. this helps to keep yourself and the hoze clean.

Hope this helps.

Thanks...  ;) i do use a cloth but its awskward, with cars in the way.. and to be honest , lots of messing about in rose garden, and shrubs... you get the picture...

well all that gets me before i reel the hose in... the nylon ones sound the best i will check it out.

thanks.

go to a local Army shop and buy your self a pair of votex combat trousers, They will keep you dry and warm as well.

Action trousers (or something) from toolstation. less than a tenner, navy blue, top quality, don't fade, full of pockets, very smart etc. Can't go wrong!

 I have to agree... army gear always seems the best. Just steer away from wearing camo tho ;)

Most decent outdoor stores will sell nylon trs which are easy clean and hydrophobic , or you could look at nixwax or graingers who sell product that will [ for want of a better word ] scotchguard your clothes , can be a pain to do but well worth it.
