Donkey jackets

[Tony McC]

Remember that thread where we drifted onto the topic of Donkey Jackets? I thought I'd see how much it would cost to get one, just for the sake of sentimentality. Prepare for jaw to drop.....

Buy a Donkey Jacket

Quick LLL, get your Burberry on ebay

Worlds gone mad

the main thing i recall about donkey jackets is that they were rubbish
got soaked in the rain,any bit of sun sweating like a horse and the wind whistled through them

There was'nt really any alternative to a donkey jacket. Now there are all kinds of clothing workwear to keep dry and warm. Bloody hell Tony wish i had my old vintage one now at those prices. Wonder what my old crombie is worth that i had to retrieve when my wife binned it, got in the boot so she can't see it :;):

What £49? Thats cheap for a coat boys.. Sound like a client

[lutonlagerlout]

£49 is a suit to me dan
including the shoes
LLL :;):

[seanandruby]

Would you buy a coat for £49 to work in then, i certainly would not, i'd want coat,jeans, thermals, jumpers etc; for that and change Like LLL it is a suit for me including shirt and tie :;):

I have tank driver issued army thermals. Pretty good. As for a coat, i like all the snickers and blaklader work wear so i think nothing of spending £140 on my heated milwaukee jacket! It all comes of the tax bill right, so may as well have the best

I'm pretty sure it all comes off the gross profit of the business not all off your tax bill.

It will reduce your tax liability yes, but not by the full amount of what you are spending.

look on ebay for 2nd hand fireman jackets, these things are the muts for outside working.

[lutonlagerlout]

I still have the same 12 year old nautica fleece
you just get used to being comfortable in certain clothes
rarely wear jeans to work anymore,normally jogging bottoms, 2 t shirts and a fleece
the need for movement and comfort overrides style or labels

Wrap yourself up with free newspapers and then a sweatshirt and your ready. Only thing is at lunch time your the only one with a newspaper

[flowjoe]

T-Shirt, Polo Shirt & Fleece, if that doesnt do the trick i wrap myself in a van

,normally jogging bottoms, 2 t shirts and a fleece

sorry tony, when guys wear jogging bottoms its because of their waist and nowt else
