    Jeans, a flannelette shirt and a false beard, only the beard is real. If you can call it a beard. I only grow it because it hides my rugged Clint Eastwood chin.

    I don't tuck my shirt in though. I'm a bit of a thrillseeker :eek:

    I wear my “special” old clothes with an apron and I look great.

    Have you got one of those Playboy aprons with the lingerie on it, or is it a nice gingham job with the lace trim?

    Default What about real Beards?

    Like Silent I have a real beard.

    Yakka dacks and flannelette shirt in winter spring and autumn, shorts and navy blue singlet in summer. Blundstone boots all seasons.

    After finishing with the tools in the evening - cold beer in the hot weather or a red wine in the cooler weather. I drink the red wine in the cooler weather because I am more formally dressed.

    That reminds me – I must get a new pair of jeans, the old pair didn’t fair too well after going through Oz’s sander, in fact it looks as if the crotch has been cut out of em

    Eastie,

    I hope that was the only damage done. Lucky it was a cold day too.

    If you ask Oz nicely, he might be to patch them up with part of one of his bears thus making you less bare.

    If I lived in the sub-antarctic latitudes that Eastie favours, I would wear long johns, jeans and a plaid shirt. As a resident of one of the warmer states, it is Yakka shorts and shirt on cool days, or Yakka shorts only the rest of the time.

    I generally wear whatever I put on in the morning. This has resulted in several damaged sets of clothing that are no longer suitable for ordinary day time wear.


    This is despite the fact that I bought a dust coat specifically for use in the shop.
