They have become my default go to clothing brand.
Mackinaw wool jacket, warm, loads of pockets (including a poachers pocket that can take a laptop or iPad) not changed in design in a hundred years and can keep out pretty serious rain for a while.
Tin cloth jacket - hard as fucking nails, similar great pockets. Get the liner and you have something that is warm, waterproof and durable.
The wildfowl hat - made of the same tin cloth with wool lining. It is super practical, warm but of questionable aesthetics, but what do you expect of a hat that has drop down earmuffs that then turns into a hood. But lots of people keep commenting on how warm/practical it looks. And fuck it, when a storm is lashing down being warm and dry beats looking a little bit weird.

No way haha! That's exactly what I wanted to hear, might have to start having a think about purchasing something from them!

I'm speechless...
This is the tricky part I find though, finding a balance between something practical, hard wearing and aesthetically pleasing. For example I have a really nice Patagonia fleece vest my girlfriend recently got me which I know would last no length of time if I were to wear it working. I'd be guaranteed to burn grinder holes in it the first day. I actually found the best item I ever wore for work was my Barbour jacket which eventually has given up due to a negligent waxing schedule on my behalf.

The wildfowl hat
That's one of the finest pieces of headwear I've ever seen. Getting the old man one for Xmas.

Hmm... thinking more along the lines of "hipster" workwear for myself? Basically workwear that doesn't look like modern workwear.
Possible renaming of thread to: If Rapha did workwear?
