So, just gone on to uniform site to bag some more blue shirts and black over trousers before the dpd line dancing range comes in and pretty much everything is out of stock.

Seems like it's a trial in name only and this is indeed the future...

I know Royal Mail are more focussed on us being a dedicated parcel courier but do we really have to copy DPDs uniform?

Yes because in 5 - 10 years you'll all be working under DPD...

Lots of use of the words "performance" "tech-fit" and "endurance" and looks like they are getting you guys ready for the 6+ hour duties that are coming your way. No more reasons to cut off because RM have issued you with the most up to date performance enhancing clothing that will not only increases walking efficiency and speed but also recovery due to the compression wear increasing blood flow to all right areas.

What's with all the different strides? There's Men's lite walking trouser, Men's walking trouser, Men's Endurance Holster Trouser. Choices, choices, choices....
And are there really no long sleeve shirts/tops for Men, or are there just no photos??

And still half the office will turn up for work wearing their own clothes.

I think that's probably more to do with lazy folk not ordering new uniform and in my case poor quality. I wear few items of the uniform as it's simply uncomfortable and not breathable.

Where've I seen those red and black uniforms before?

Oh yes, of course...

New Royal Mail uniforms fail to deliver as people say 'they look like Star Trek costumes'

One on the Royal Mail forum uploaded a photo of William Shatner in the Star Trek sci-fi series, and wrote: “Where’ve I seen those red and black uniforms before?”

It would be nice to see a long sleeve polo as that would go well with the gilet. Working nights indoors at a MC it can be freezing in the early hours when all the doors are open on the bay. I did delivery for many years so know how cold it can get, but to experience a very cold MC is something else

Hopefully the trousers will no longer be 70’s flares made from overall material.

We are the blue shirts and we shall continue to wear them!! With the number of Scottish people in RM telling us what to do you would be mistaken for thinking we were the Labour party and not Royal Mail.
