I've recently been watching the re runs of 'All creatures great and small' and it's chocked full of all types of workwear from our chosen era, not just workmen per se but also farmers and obviously the vets in cords and tweed and with the obligatory plaid ties.....recommended viewing if you can find it.....I wonder how much of the clothing is original in the series?
Can also recommend Olney.
The good thing about the British workwear look is that you can mix & (mis)match almost anything. So a pair of Swedish prison trousers with a collarless shirt, a silk scarf and a battered vintage jacket is just as much 'workwear' as £500's worth of selvedge Japanese denim reproduction 'workwear'. And a damn site cheaper.
