It’s not often that the self oppinionated, irracible old f*rt asks for help, but this time the daft old bu**er is stumped.
The more aware of you will have noticed that London is no place to be riding around in a linen suit and Gucci loafers. If nothing else, the body armour ruins the cut of the suit.
O.K., the footwear is common sense easy. But the suit?
I tried the Dickies workwear coveralls but: A, They’re not equipped with armour pockets. B, I get mistaken for the guy coming to collect the sanibins. Or, C, I get told where to report to maintenance.
I’ll do B or C (if it pays well) but I have an appointment with the Senior Partner. He’s cool with the M/C stuff it’s the … on reception who has the problem.
O.K. so I need coveralls, or similar, with body armour but not ones that get me “…greasier than a Chinese wrestlers jock strap cooked in chip fat on a sunny day”. (What ever happened to Roy Harper?) So something cool for the hot weather.
Dude, no matter what you do you will sweat like sex pest cos of the layers (unless it’s a Scottish winter outside). Best thing to do would be to fold the suit up and put it in a bag and quickly change in the khazi once you get where your going. Fold it properly and you wont end up looking like you suffer from an iron deficiency.
I’m with Shando. I’ve done it myself and tried lots of different methods, but nothing is as good as taking the clothes with you and changing into them (unless you want to look go for the sweaty tramp look).
You could always go for the mid-life-crisis/don’t give-a-f**k/chavtastic look and pack a shell suit. Be sure to top it all off with a burberry baseball cap and some sovereign rings!!! I’m off to get p****d now. Laters dudes.
Saw an older chap in Infinity today trying wet weather gear on today - was it you? You looked buff! Think the female assistant thought so too. She was all aflutter after you left.
