So in the absence of a clothes/fashion sub-forum The Lounge it is:

I'm due to be deployed to KSA for 2 months with work, for 'reasons' work can't supply me with company branded polo shirts. Normally at work I wear t-shirt and chinos but obviously not suitable in this customer facing role.

So, I'm planning on buying a dozen or so polo shirts but don't want to spend a fortune as the work is hands-on with the product so these will probably be chucked once I return. Had a look in a few high street shops at the weekend, nothing really suitable unless I wanted to pay over the odds for 'top' branded stuff.

Any recommendations of where to get some?

Asda, Simple smile. And much better quality that most of the "branded ones"
I've been wearing them for work for years as the cheapest, bin and replace once a month

Matalan, or Primark is surprisingly good.

How do you cope in life? Surely anyone with common sense knows where to buy some polo shirts??? And does not need to ask on a car forum.

Yes, if I wanted some stty branded Ralph Lauren one easy. I need some cheap throwaway ones that are reasonably comfortable.

You could have just not posted if this thread offends your sensibilities so much.

In the absence of a shoe section I'll have to post here

Bought some new daps the other day, but they seem very loose and on occasion even slip off, there's funny string type thing hanging out from either side?..... any suggestions?

We use henbury polo's at work. They are very very good! Hard wearing(I'm in a manual job) wash well and after 2 years of wear are still as good as new.

Only buy Fred Perry or possibly Ben Sherman, sized to fit tight on the chest and biceps (you'll obviously be lean of stomach, we all are) wear with drain pipe Farahs, or maybe straight cut Levis, a decent addidas original trainer or DMs, you won't need a Parka out there is reet toasty this time of year. Never, ever, ever undo top button.

Saudi chicks love the 80s council estate mod revival look.
