It's me 615 Posted July 27, 2019 my local hospice shop always has some bargains in the dead mens clothes section,only thing is they aren't allowed to sell belts anymore because the local MP had bought one stuck an orange in his gob and dangled himself from his wardrobe, so you will just have to find a bit of string to hold your kegs up with hth.................... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Though the factory shop sell it too here so they must supply them . The sweatshirts and t shirts/polo shirts are actually ok quality for the money and for working with doing valets etc . They sell not bad work boots and safety trainers too . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mark101 536 Posted July 27, 2019 I pay £14 for quality embroidered non iron polos and have half a dozen pairs of tan jeans (Sainsbury's I think). It saves me wondering what to wear and adds professionalism IMO. My valeter wears shorts and branded polos. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CRW 73 Posted July 31, 2019 (edited) Currently shorts, t-shirt and trainers, no one ever seems bothered. Explain to people that I cant valet cars in a suit! At the moment, the shorts have 3 dollops of superglue staining on the crotch, looks a bit suspicious but gives them something to go away talking about. Perhaps they think Im incontinent and buy the car because they take pity on me. Funnily, no one has asked! Winter time, jeans with an M&S white polo and navy sweatshirt! Never bothered with branding personally. Edited July 31, 2019 by CRW 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
