Modelmaking clothes

[jonclox]

Now Ive been pondering on this for a few months now

What do we wear when we are railway modelling?
I know that when I am tracklayingor pinning/gluing it all down I tend to wear the same things every time.
In this case stot shoes/boots, dirty dark grey jeans with oil smudges, a grey open necked shirt, a hi vis jacket (Screwfix supply) and ayellow hard hat.
When inspecting my previous work or planning new works I obviously wear my best dark suit ,heavy black polished shoes spotless hi vis jacket and a white hard hat.
Kit bashing and building sees me in a dirty string vest , builders bum jeans or shorts and filthy trainers.
Electrics of course see me in kevlar one piece overall with built in grounging strip and (apart from when I got burnt last week kevler gloves.
For just watching trains go by.....a bubble hat ,a multi colured jumper and a grey hoody, worn out jeans and stinking trainers.
Ive still got to buy my signalmans outfit and a stationmasters pinstripe suit with bowler hat (Ive got the hat already).
Thats my lot
Whats yours?

(have to  admit though as its hot in the train room today I have only been wearing my pink hi vis mankini)

When working on the model railway I'm always stark naked . . . there's a mental image to trouble you on a sunday afternoon

You have to wear clothes? Nobody told me that.

Are you sure?

Not advisable when soldering though

It states that on page 3 of the manual

Now I know you're not being serious 'cos we men don't read manuals
My preference is for a backless boiler suit and high heeled army hobnail boots which I believe will trump your mankini and provide more nightmares for our readers

[Sprintex]

If you're wearing a backless boiler suit I'd prefer it if you didn't trump anywhere!

  Now hang on. You seem to be making light of this (to me) very serious thread.

This is beginning to look like some kinda fetishist forum.....

Rule number 1 applies to clothing guys.

Exactly why I have retained the compression support stockings left over from my hip operation. You just never know when you might need such things.
I am trying to be both serious and practical here, John

you must be mad. I hacked  mine to pieces the moment I was told I could take them off after my prostrate op.

With a live webcam in the railway room I'd better not follow Paul's lead.
