    Would you spend 200 euro on a jacket for the winter? A first cousin of mine is a builder who told me that he has two different types of working jackets worth 200 euro each, his boots are worth the same and trousers worth around 150

    If I was going to be spending 9 hours a day standing in miserable cold weather then yes, yes I would.

    Here's your problem right here. Builder's tell you a lot of things.

    Bought a Merrill winter coat in TK Maxx 2 years ago. €200 reduced to €90. Worth every penny.

    Why wouldn't you spend that money? If you worked in any other trade/company wouldn't you buy as good as you could afford for your needs?

    I've tools that cost me almost €500 - shocking, you could get the same yoke for €100. Yeah, but mine works every day without fail, it's safe and I can easily get spare parts for it any day of the week. Work clothes are no different.

    As long as the top of his arse can still be observed peering out from under the jacket, that's the main thing.
