[QUOTE="Old Tip, post: 5968626, member: 292"] Haven’t read the article but having worked for the NT for years I do know a bit more of the history about NT uniform. When I started their everyone wore their own cloths and we were often mistaken as convicts on day release or some employment training gang. We then got fitted out with stuff from estate type clothing suppliers so we looked like gamekeepers or park wardens. Most of the kit comprised of green jumpers, wax or donkey jackets, mole skins or bale baskets. All natural products and all in green or khaki. The problem was the general public saw us as policemen, farmers or army reservists and not many would converse with us. So the decision was made to dress like the tourists in modern outdoor gear, it made a big difference but all the stuff is from man made none recyclable materials. I don’t work for the NT anymore but will get in touch with a few people as the answer is obvious and can be supplied locally out of local wool. They could mix the aproachableness of the modern kit with the naturalness of the Hoggs style kit. To the OP, yes there are a few idiots in the NT as in any other organisation but there are also some great people and on the whole they do support farmers and agricultural [/QUOTE]
