I have a quilted one (years old and quilting now very flat) that I had when I was riding. Luckily I rarely feel the cold until it snows these days so have no need of it. I believe I have seen them in Yorkshire Trading stores recently in both bottle green and navy if it helps

just had a look only in olive at the moment - but I am certain have seen these in navy (and mine is navy!)

We have a long sleeve fleece and a bodywarmer one, I mostly wear the body warmer one, I love it except for the hair- I would like a soft shell one as the hair dosen't stick as much.

I like sleeves, it's the way they go baggy after a few hours wear and ride up my ars lol. Maybe it's just me, press's I've got long arms! Could try a body warmer, might make a difference. :)

if sleeves are the sticking point how about the body warmers you can get - no sleeves, so no problem

We decided to change from Jumpers or fleeces altogether-now we where tunic tops and trousers with a long sleeve black top underneath. Lots of commented how smart it looks

[/quote] I do like this idea, but think I would end up with the same problem, baggy wrists after I've pushed them up and down my arms a few times...or do you not find that as bad? Might have to give it a go. I agree the sweatshirts wouldn't look very smart, but I really can't imagine we look very smart wearing baggy hairy fleeces either!! Lol. Thanks for the replies so far

school cardigans from the uniform shop (they have loads of stores and online) tend to be a lot better than the alexander cardies for holding their shape and they are cheaper, another good one is the M+S school uniform ones. I have seen sweatshirts and will agree for front of house they arent a good look but in saying that they are better than the hoodies I have seen complete with logos - they make staff look like they are members of some street gang or asbo dodgers

Agreed! I bought a bottle green school cardy from a school shop because I couldn't find a black one in shops which wasn't really long and flimsy or baggy around the sleeves, its got sleeves more like a sweatshirt so they are good even if you roll them up, Only problem I had was finding one in my size as the green ones around here are usually used for primary schools etc

For getting fur off fabric I find running a rubber gloe like a marigold over the surface much more effective than lint rollers. It gathers the fur into a ball which can then be easily removed... Hope this helps...

Hi Chippet,

I wore a practice jumper in one of my previous jobs (it was the only extra layer we were allowed to wear) and I miss it lol. During winter it proved much better than a cardigan at keeping me warm. They are pretty easy to keep clean, hair doesnt stick to them as much, and any that does comes off easily with a quick lint roll, although we only wore them in kennels and prep, I would never wear one into theatre, only full scrubs. We wore bottle green jumpers to match the rest of the uniform, with the practice logo stitched on so we all looked like a team, however, I personally think theyre not as smart compared to a cardigan. This didnt matter to us much as we were a big hospital and we didnt have much contact with the public, we were out back the majority of the time, so they were practical and suited our role. Personally I like the comfort and practicality but I do think for smaller practices they may look a little bit too casual for front of house and during clinics etc, but could be as simple as only wearing them out back then taking them off before a clinic, which I've had to do before and didnt bother me.

Hope that helps a bit:)
