« on: February 23, 2021, 07:37:14 pm »
ive had my embroidered black polo shirts/hoodies for 2 years now and they are looking a bit faded so ive ordered another 5 shirts and 2 hoodies from clothes2order...

i also bought 2 pairs of e.s motion work shorts from engelbert strauss...best shorts for spring/summer IMO!lots of pockets for card machine,phone,keys,wallet,invoices,etc..... :)

should get delivered just in time for spring! 8)
price higher/work harder!

clothes2order seem to do masses of different brand of polo shirts and hoodies. Which ones are decent?

I get new fleeces and polo shirts every year, I find that because I work outside all day they fade badly, most noticeably at the shoulders.

Climate cool shirts are by far the best I find a thermal underneath if it’s winter,sod those fruit of the loom style T shirts baking hot in the summer they are and they look like a bag of poope after a while.

I have been using these for the last 5 years best I have had, slightly more expensive but last 2-3 years and it’s not a cotton material so you don’t need to iron them.

Ive got loads, i started off with red, then blue, then grey and now orange

Decided on blue/orange as my company colours going forward.

Still got a fleece in every colour as they dont seem to wear out, the hoodys always get battered for some reason and the polos usually last a couple of years.

That doesn’t portray a very professional image to the customer , we wouldn’t have half the work we do if we turned up dressed like that , most want to see uniformed staff , so that they are easily recognisable  especially on commercial work and the more affluent areas of society

I'm due some new polo shirts this year, mine are starting to fade.
Also my embroidered hoody and sweatshirt are also a bit past it.

On the good side I bought some Engelbert Strauss shorts x2 last year and they are still like new.
Also Engelbert Strauss, fleece lined cargo trousers and a pair of ES normal cargo trousers, both have been brilliant.

I also purchased a Scruffs hoodie (black) and a Scruffs bodywarmer...all good.

This year I think I will also go with an embroidered soft shell jacket. Then I can wear anything I fancy underneath but still look smart when I go to do quotes etc.

I still can't find any decent trainers for the summer that wear well and are fairly waterproof.
Any suggestions would be welcomed....ta  ;D
