An embroidered uniform for a sole trading mainly domestic window cleaner has always seemed a bit ott to me.
I've just work clothes that I use for work only. Plain blue t shirts and a blue fleece for colder days. I've splashed out on a couple of pairs of trousers though.

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 

If you want them fairly waterproof you’d be better with goretex walking shoes, Salomon, Mammut etc

"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"

At the end of a normal winter day I end up blathered anyway.........my customers aren't fussed what I'm wearing as long as there property is cleaned properly.....and around 70% of them are, in normal times, out...........it's a job not a fashion show.........commercial would be a different thing though.

Guess it depends on the type of clients you have

IMO it looks more professional if you have personalised workwear. It’s not as though it’s a luxury, it’s relatively inexpensive, maybe a tenner odds for polo shirts and fifteen quid odds for fleeces/hoodies..........and of course it’s tax deductible, which isn’t the case if you are using everyday leisurewear.

it makes you stand out from the other window lickers.....theres a lot of competition these days.....

when you clean in posher areas you wanna look the part IMO......also im vain.....i wanna look smart AND professional!

Sorry to bring  this thread up again but what do you guys recommend for jumpers and polos for taller guys? I’m quite tall and I’m sick and fed up with buying workwear and then shrinking after a wash.  Any makes anyone recommends for jumpers/polos that are a bit more generous in sizing and length? AND won’t blinking well shrink after one wash Lol. Cheers

I'm a big guy too...(6ft 2in 18 stone bodybuilder!)and the xl range of polos from clothes2order are a good fit....

I wear the heavy cotton fruit of the loom polos in the colder months and the cool AWDis polos in summer...the hoodies I ordered are  2 x XL...plenty big enough.....

The polo shirts DONT shrink in the wash....
