My old boss had a pair of jeans like that when he walked across to where I was unblocking a spray nozzle whilst spraying off tattie haulm with acid. He'd put them on brand new off the hanger that morning

Can't see why not, their UK arm is based in Southampton or it's not like you are importing something, etc and it's all legitimately classed as PPE (which they also sell shed loads of) and thus a business expense?
Good gear. Comes in a variety of lengths and colours. Look at the material thickness/thread count as the heavier stuff is more suitable for winter use whilst the lighter stuff is more suited to summer. Bear in mind the stuff is manufactured in Germany so if the sales stuff is saying 'winter' it really is going to be for winter use.
The cheaper ranges I think are lighter fabric but I'm not 100% on that. I have only ever bought the cheaper stuff- the 'Active' and 'Motion' ranges being the cheaper end of things. If you want a full blown super-duper warm, double sided safety fudgeer with more pockets than a pop tart wrapper then it won't be cheap.
Do you need new friends? Better friends.

Elasticated ankle cuffs are ideal for slipping on wellies without effort.
Elasticated waist band is ideal for the larger gentleman… who thinks he is not so large

I find the Aldi ones thin very quickly between the legs. And they took out the elasticated bit in the waistband too. Never bought them since.

Yep they turned to sh!t now, used to be very good.
I'm PAYE, but did ring HMRC and got a tax rebate and change to my tax code to cover some of the cost of work clothes and laundry

I’ve got some Goodyear ones off Amazon, id recommend, comfy and quite tough. First pair done 3yr of heavy rotation and good as new still.

The waist is a slightly tighter fit on them but good fit an extra panel in the crotch and really good pockets. Planning to order more and maybe some of these lighter ones for summer.
