My DS is not taking his boiler suit from school on the ship. Need to buy one. What brand and where do you suggest we get one?
Thanks.
Thanks.
Depending on the company the First may give him a set or two from the 'gold locker' otherwise you can buy a couple of pair. I would suggest all cotton. They're cooler and breathe better.. also safer than a poly/cotton blend. Ditto KPEngineer's suggestion on the 'second hand' store for filling out your 'sea bag'My DS has clothing from a second hand store. Jeans mostly. bought t-shirts (undershirts) that will be thrown away. Just wanted a boiler suit for when he is off work and needs to look like an engineer.
Yep.. I used to live in Carhartt work clothes when I was sailing Chief Mate. I had a couple pair of the double knee heavy cotton duck pants that lasted 5 years of rough service. They wear like iron.Our DS loved Carharts. And still does.
I don't know about Maersk.. To be on the safe side I'd bring a couple of pair.shutterbugC said:Going on a Maersk ship so do you know if they give them out?
