Track suit bottoms (white if you can get them) with a stripe down the side pulled down as low as you can get them show yer pants (housewifes love it) with a matching baseball cap, white socks and Nike trainers with a loose fitting matching hoodie. Bit of bling always helps i've found, and a spliff to keep you warm.

full kit from straus dirrect, just ordered a jacket, jumper, trousers, 2 t shirts and 2 hats with embriodery and print on the back, £220, that was including a setup charge for the embriodery and same again for the print, that I wont have to pay next time, and delivery. Got them in today and the stuff is great, used them before and keeps you warm and dry, just re-ordered to get them to do the printing, and for a spare set, wash day etc.

Got my boots from them too, waterproof and steal toecaped.

if there the same boots i got they would keep you grounded on the moon, they weighed a ton, okay for wfp but no chance on ladders!!

The weight dont bother me, I feel they get better grip than trainers, and look loads more proffessional.

Bought some gear off a company who advertises on ebay, got a logo and my co name on, 4 polo shirts, 2 sweatshirts, 1 v warm fleece, and some trousers, all for £71 delivered, including £15 set up for the logo. Good quality stuff.
Well chuffed, no more faded jeans and old t shirts for me, this is the way forward, looks better, and it's cheap. :)

Regatta trousers are class bits of kit.  Get the fleece lined ones for Winter.

There's loads of pockets; all with zips; and they're hard wearing.

I live in mine and come the weekend Wor Lass has to shoe-horn me out of them and into 'civilian' clothing.
