Troos

[nik227]

Alreet.

So got an email from CMT telling me the uniform i will be supplied with and only need to provide black shoes and black trousers. Does it matter what kind of troos and shoes i go for? Or do they have to specifically come from CMT's clothing website?

Was just going to ASDA George those bad boys like.

Nik,

Absolutely go for ASDA or similar, machine wash trousers, permanent crease, bomb proof cheapies.

Shoes - go for something comfortable, possibly an "airwear" sole for comfort. Personally I would spend more on the shoes than the trousers.

As you are an engineer I would go for velcros or slip ons - those shoe laces can be so pesky to tie!

Cheers hatch, asda here I come! Aye im going to be in engineering.

Yeah right enough about the shoes like I wear smart soles every day for work and just have constantly sore feet.

Ill just get myself a crackin pair of slippers!

Yeah what he said!

I know everybody takes the piss out of them but I got a smart pair of black 'Hush Puppies' for like ?30 and they are honestly so comfortable... If you can take a slagging haha

Aye, I spent my entire cadetship at Glasgow in a mixture of George and Tesco Trousers!! (That is, when I wore uniform. It is quite amusing to watch progression in Glasgow, cause all 1st Phase Cadets will be dressed to the T, then 2nd Phase cadets are a bit more relaxed, then the 3rd phase Engineers just stop wearing uniform full stop!! There was a bit of a change in senior staff just after I left though, so may well have changed now.)

Nah it's still pretty lax. Tbh there are plenty things that I would put higher up the list of stuff needing improved before I got to their uniform policy.

I think it's pretty universal; uniform standards drop as the cadetship progresses!

Perhaps it is my age but I found myself agreeing with you - Love the Hush Puppies, and some of the Clarke's "Airwears" are brilliant.

didnt know what hushpuppies are so looked it up. saw its also a cornbread food as well as brand of shoe. was slightly concerned everyone was walking around with deep fried snacks on their toes!
Roll on year 3 and studyin in shorts!
