BLUE shirts?

Post by S6 Stroller »

Has everyone who has got new uniform recently recieved shirts that look like they've been boil washed in bleach for about 6 years? I know we've got bigger fish to fry at the minute but they look scruffy as hell eventhough they're brand new. I don't want my customers to think I'm letting my normally high sartorial standards slip! :chuckle

The short sleeved shirts are definately a different colour to the long sleeved ones.

The quality of them is shite though, the cuffs on mine are fraying already, after only nine months.

All new R/M uniform is cheap shite made in a sweat shop in some third world country.

R/M should be ashamaed of themselves issuing us with this shite .
