When did you become a postman?

God do I miss the Harrington comfortable, durable and practical..........................I can see why they did away with them.

[Stormproof]

I always wear my Harrington in the summer and as DG says comfortable & practical. I hate the new blue fleeces, they look/feel cheap and nasty.

[Spedley]

I totally, why did they get rid of them? (Mmm, perhaps fleeces are a little cheaper?)

[pinstripe]

And they had the removable fleece waistcoat that zipped inside for the winter. Still got mine, but it's beginning to fall apart. It was a thousand times better than the fleece we get now.

Both my waistcoat & Harrington are worn everyday---------
But both are on their last legs--- mind you so am I

and the clarks shoes ,proper doc martins ,pouches that last more than a month ,trousers that didn't go purple orange after a few washes,and PROPER EFFIN LAGGY BANDS . Im sure there's more that could be added to that list

Still no word on the street then about the new uniform they were meant to be bring some time this year the..

Still wear my Harrington. A guy retired the other month and he dumped his locker contents into a blue runner/ coffin. I scouted through and what did I find still in the plastic bag but a brand new Harrington! Tis been washed and awaiting being worn but will make damned sure that this one is absolutely cream crackered before I throw it away.
The only thing I didn't like about them was if you wore the waistcoat with the jacket you had a job accessing your inside pockets - other than that loved em

[nashh]

bring em back i say.

Thats because they are cheap and nasty. I have four, and all four have broken zips!

[postdoom]

Yep 100% agree with all. Fleeces are so bad - another item that clearly hasnt been tested thoroughly. i still have my harrington but it's not gonna last forever

Going out on delivery these days looking like a feckin "TINK" Harrington jacket full of holes, freyed at the cuffs and round the bottom, trousers look as if I have been living in them for months(maybe they are the new kind that start of blue then through time turn reddish).

Just in keeping with the standard that RM are aspiring to. :cfo :mfo

PS and now my delivery standards are falling in line with my uniform standard (sh!te)

I still have one of those three quarter length thermal coats with removable arms, in fairly good nick.

And I have a few of those old shirts, the ben sherman ones, really thin and comfortable in the summer, although my ale gut is beginning to show when I wear them.
