favorite piece of clothing?

[ged]

My all-time favourite is a pair of French ex-army trousers. They were a sort of olive green and had some great patch pocktes with buttons but apart from that I don't know anything about them. Unfortunately I wore them out years ago.

Otherwise my favourite piece of clothing will generally be an old cotton shirt and I'll usually be wearing it.

I'm fond of a fleece wasistcoat that SWMBO made for me.

I like mooching around in my underwear in the morning while I make the fire and get her tea and biscuits in bed.

Ooh this is a tricky one as I have quite a few but I think I'm gona choose my arktis dan cam smock although its not used that much it does come into its own when the weathers bad and it has some great features and build quality, the best waterproof hard wearing jacket iv found

For me it's my Craghopper winter lined trousers and my Swanni ranger. Both are comfortable and warm.

For me its a tie between my Klättermusen Gere pants, converted to go outside my slalom boots and my Norröna Amundsen Cotton Anorak

Just about my favourite too Smogz. Best trousers I've ever seen or worn by a long way.

US N48 flying gloves ties for my favourite with the Klatts.

My home made Ventile-esque smock - loosly based on a 60s SAS smock.
I wear it everywhere!

Got to say that my favourite is my Buffalo Big Face shirt. A bit warm for summer but it's so old and worn that it makes a good layer year round. Always been tempted to try the lighter Buffalo stuff; it's getting increasingly harder to find Buffalo kit though nowadays.

Cheers Ben!

I live in Sheffield and the stuff used to be in most of the gear shops. Nowadays it's only online stores that stock Buffalo. Shame.

Tilley hat - now in it's fifteenth year
Swanndri Ranger shirt - likewise!
Paramo wind proof smock - light packable and very comfortable
Blundstone boots - I have three pairs, work (steelies), dress and everything else. Just awesome, all year.
Paramo Cascada jacket - for the worst weather, also around fifteen years old and still going strong. Had a Paramo service last year which replaced all the velcro, washed and reproofed the jack and sent it back like new.
Icebreaker merino beannie - always on me and it fits under the Tilley!

I had to read your post twice then had a wee laugh to myself. There's no close about it, that's my prefered wear in your list exactly. And your from Angus too? I think one of our Dads had a motorbike .

Hi there
Hill and Dale in calderdale stocks a fair bit of there stuff
Or alternatively Buffalo is made in Sheffield, give them a ring and they'll get stuff out for you to look at

Without doubt my olive green North Face Mcmurdo parka. It's now in its 11th year and still going strong...other than a bit of scuffing around one cuff. Since getting that jacket the cold weather is something experienced by other people. Couldn't recommend the jacket any more.

I forgot, my favorite without a doubt is my Klättermusen Fimbul bibs.

Carhartt Logger jeans, currently have 5 pairs on rotation, work, play, eat, sleep unless its warm then I wear my Carhartt shorts!!!

My moleskin smock (made by an ex member on here - Anddywink), based on the Swannie Bushshirt, I tend to wear mine tucked up, rather than full length.

The chest pocket is big enough to fit a folded OS map and is embroidered with the Scout logo and my username...

These were very popular when I first got it, with quite a few other Scout Leaders having them made too.

Sadly, as far as I know, Andy stopped making them.


I've recently rediscovered my shemagh too..Incredibly versatile bit of kit that will, once again, be going everywhere with me.
