Uniform

Post by Docketman »

A pair of combat style trousers would be good for pens, slip lefts, signature cards and everything else. Nobody has yet had a pop at me for buying a couple of navy blue combats from Army Navy and sewing on RM badges from old shirts I found in the 'dressing up box' on the leg pockets.

I'm sure the new uniform has combat trousers,sure i heard it somewhere.
Some of our guys wear dark blue jeans,and basically anything.
Very lax on the uniform at times down here.
Do you guys wear white trainers or are you allowed to?

Some wear trainers, but if DOM sees then he goes running to line manager and tells. The issue boots are too hot in summer and too cold in winter.
