I'm a fan of the cuffs. As I can pull my socks over the top of the cuffs. Safegaurded against breeze and drafts.
Prefer jeans that are tight down the bottom too.

Good morning as well. Hope all is good

I have in the past and it's just not for me - don't find it comfortable

I'm a bit weird (people who know me would probably say I'm very weird), but I don't like cuffs whether around the ankles/lower legs or around the wrists

I've got jumpers & hoody’s with cuffs, and I've stretched the cuffs so they aren't tight

I love these days that jackets often have thumbholes in the cuffs. Such a great idea.

I've got some long sleeve thermals that have thumb wholes so that they come up a bit more over the hand & don't slide up the arm - love them

Another random clothing rant - who bloody decided that girls/women always want to wear pink?

I'm currently looking at various workwear companies so that I can go buy the basics should I get a job with my new traffic management qualifications (I've seen at least 2 different companies in Geelong advertising for staff this week, so now to get my bloody card so I can apply) - and I'm now losing track of the number of options under the women's workwear that's pink hi-vis

pink hi-vis doesn't met compliance requirements for working conditions, so it just seems such a waste

It reminds of a few years ago I went and bought a 3-in-1 jacket from Jeep (fleece inner jacket, water resistant outer and could be worn separately, together etc), the woman who served me showed me the mens jackets & colours available, then said "there is a pink & grey if you want the women's one, but I wouldn't bother as the mens are nicer"

I don't get the 'skinny' pants/jeans thing, you look online and like a 1/3 of them are these. Who buys these things.

It was worse about 10 years ago for guys. Nearly all men's shit had pink on it. Was hard to find anything to buy.
A lot of girls buy the pink workboots. Not cheap though.

I do. Not real skinny like a hipster or anything. But kind of skinny.
I have skinny legs though. I aint winning the Tour de France anytime soon.

I remember when places like Dick Smith & Officeworks were selling "women's desk sets" and it was pink staplers, tape dispenser, pen holder, mouse etc

Just give me something that does the job and for the right price - I don't give a shit about paying extra for something because it's pink, but still made out of cheap plastic

Haha. They did it with powertools too. Like a pink powertools set for women that was low quality shit.

When I was an apprentice I had to wear a pink hard hat lol.
They actually make footy hard hats. Know someone who's got a Bombers one.

I worked at one place where we had pink mark out paint.

A favourite was spraying someone's boots whilst they were standing high on the ladder and couldn't run away.

 

[Spazz Cat]

Do you know what's better than having an orgasm or anything?
The side zip up boots on a 40 degree day when someone unzips them and blows the air compressor down them.
Amazing feeling.

Does the bombers one come with it's own first aid kit (including syringe) ?

Hey Art Vandelay_ my last post in here got my thread banned in here permanently for "Baiting and inflammatory posts without contribution that is meaningful". I don't really care but it's hard not to find the bias rather amusing.
