Agree with everything mentioned.
Trousers with extra pockets Decent tools/grips etc Moisturiser Hand cream Vaseline Chap sticks Thermals! Base layers Steel toe cap work boots Thick work socks Hand warmers (pocket ones you can activate in morning & last for hours) Beanie hat Decent waterproof work jacket Trying to think what else my lot have Oh, Gillett was popular last winter as they weren’t as restrictive as a coat but handy when a jumper wasn’t enough. They like to ‘layer up’ so the6 can strip layers while they work. |

Yep, my husband was the same! He’s always had thermals and decent work boots as he works outside, It’s only the last few years he’s had a few more bits on the list (no moisturisers etc though )
My boys all have the full list My second eldest son also waxes his hair every day for work too - hilarious as it’s an all male workmen environment |

Wish I had listened about wet weather gear and thermals in the 70's. Maybe my back wouldn't be in bits now.

My husband always wears a vest under his T-shirt (just a sleeveless black T-shirt really), in winter long thermal socks and always a warm thermal hat. He currently has snickers trousers with the pockets for the knee pads. He prefers braces to a belt.
Finally, a thick hi-vis waterproof coat is always in his van. |

My son is an apprentice plumber , he wears DeWalt trousers.
He wears a snickers soft shell jacket and the usual layers underneath. He suggests good knee pads too. He’s 19 and very into “ label “clothes as many youngsters are
