The trousers are probably the best.

It really is down to choice. I must say, as a woman, the trousers are a terrible fit. i'm very skinny, and the trousers look like M.C Hammer pants on me.

Have you tried on the waterproof trousers? They are something else. The ones I ordered would fit two of my legs into one trouser leg.

Hi, sorry to drag this topic back but how are the sizes?

I'm ordering uniform soon and wondered if I need to order a size smaller/larger than my usual? Also for the polos/shirts. Is it best to order a mixture? As I can order 5 tops in total.

Cheers!

Not sure exactly how old this is, or if it has been superceded. I've also read it in a RM document somewhere.

Polo shirts are not to be worn by staff in a customer facing role - ie callers office staff.

See page 5.

Red polo. The extra pockets in the trousers make up for the lack of shirt pockets!

The red polos are better fitting than the blue shirts. My medium blue shirt was massive on me compared to my medium red polo. Plus the dirt never really comes out of the blue shirts. Mind you the red polos don't stay red for too long!

The red polos in medium are a good medium fit, the blue shirts are big. The fleece fits nice as a medium, the kagoule and stormproof are like tents on me (in medium).
I got 3 polos and 2 shirts but hardly wear the shirts.

The shirts come up big when new,but after a few washes shrink & (on me at least) are too tight. Rubbish they are!

The whole uniform makes us all look like clowns I remember when you used to be measured up for a uniform and had a cap and tie and you had to ware it with boots shined every day.

While were on it bring back the Harrington jacket, ben Sherman shirts and the waistcoat (gilet) better than the rubbish now

I like the shirts because they've got pockets.
