I just wish I'd bought the two-piece overalls years ago! For us girls it has to be a "no-brainer"........! That is now my preference so don't care who supplies or makes them. (Current set were sourced from BMMC however.)

Just to let everybody know, I've been in touch with Nick and he's getting it sorted now, despite it not being trivial. So my appreciation to Nick (and Stephen) for their help, and my vote definitely for AWS

So that's AWS then! Certainly can't fault mine - being typically marshal shaped, tall, slim and handsome. Oy, where did that thunderbolt come from

Made-to-Measure depends on who is doing the measuring! We got the GP RAC overalls but had to provide our own measurements. I'm convinced Bill got my arm and leg measurements muddled up - sleeves too long and legs not long enough! Bill's were fine ....... !!!

I agree with Stephen, in that if you are a BMMC member our overalls are kindly subsidised by the sponsors who support the BMMC, AWS are great at accommodating ALL our respective body sizes!! And I am currently on my third pair from them.
Thankyou one and all.

It might be worth talking to the nice people at aws, they have the machines and could bung them on in a moment, so it wouldn't surprise me if they were able to transfer your old patches for a reasonable fee, never know til you ask?
Another way may be to take them to one of these laundry places that do invisible mending, most high streets have one, they often employ a Mk1 little old lady to do the sewing, it could be cost effective given the amount of time these things can take the "differently skilled" amongst us.

I don't know, those bottles are quite heavy, I reckon I could only throw one to hit a fire from 4 feet at the most.

I'll get my coat.......

the little old lady or the lol's boss will charge anything from £5-£7.50+ per patch, if you dont want to put all your reimbursal into your patches buy a mini sewing machine which costs £15, i did, made my own flags on it and many others...

Or after the 3 years the RAC sponsored the G.P. we gave them to people that looked good in Orange, and let us go back to black.

Perhaps because black makes the wearer look slimmer!
