Snickers are good Keck's for the knees pads bit they poorly made.

Working in our gang all our lads snickers rip open after about 10 month. Tripple stitch my ar5e.

Moved onto other knee pad trabs now. Blaklader are better than snicker all day long but harder to come by.

T shirts all the way bag a load of cheaps from asda 3 quid a pop. That's all you need to be fair innit doin this job.

Stay cool
 
Ware what ever job dictates if gotta get a lot on fast put my iron maiden shirt on but if no rush put my pink floyd shirt on simples !
puma sweat pants & no kegs = no betty swollocks , 12 hole boots for nasty jobs and last birthdays trainers for casual domestic jobs and dr martins for special customers.

Bout the best you find. Get em on net but they not common in shop. My mate is in them now after years of torn snickers. He is well impressed as am I. We put the trabs through there paces like...
 
Them snickers always tear in the sack region for me, prefer the scruffs ones now, seem a lot harder wearing I find & no sack tearages. Although it used to be nice having air conditioning to the sweaty sack area :RpS_biggrin:

I do same with my current scruffs.
Don't bother looking after em. I pay the money cos they save my knees have great pockets for scissors, blades and roll of tape.

They covered in crap mine from day 1 but they last me 2-3 years
 
I have Blaklader trousers but only wear them in winter. They only cost me £28 too as the merchants were selling them off because nobody bought them at £60. In shorts from March to November
 
Portwest Ohio work trousers ... Hoodys .. Gildan t shirts off ebay - decent and cheap, when rainin a north face jacket on top of that.

ok you've top trumped me pal....im knee pad & pocket less:RpS_blushing:....but hey there wa 3 quid!!!:RpS_thumbsup:
 
I can only work in shorts and t shirt and pair of vans.

I see spreads working in steel toe, steel plate boots, 320gsm trousers and hoodys, and they sweat their bollox off
 
Englebert strauss for me. Had some blacklader and Fristads but as said can be harder to find. Carhartt are a good solid make too.
 
whats up with the traditional wear of a plasterer , trackie bottoms and free beer t shirts. :RpS_blink:
 
When not wearing my sponge bob onsie I wear anything scruffy for skimming as long as it's loose. For venetian I wear nice black work pants and shies and embroidered polo shirt with company details. And always look clean and smart ish when pricing any work
 
Am I the only one that actualy prefers going price with my actual days plastering clothes on covered in shite!!!!..????...always feels weird to me when I go in clean work clothes or even just your normal clothes makes me feel like a salesmen rather than just a tradesmen popping in on my way home etc!!!

I see it like this wtf do they expect me to look like after plastering for 8hrs????
 
Think ye right and wrong zombie.. they dont expect you smart casual but if you turn up lookong like a plasteret they look down on u. You cant win
