Sportswear vs. Workwear..and Freebie Friday #8

The Oxford English Dictionary defines workwear as " Incredibly dull and uninspiring fabrics fashioned into depressingly boring garments that hinder rather than add benefit to the wearer." Well we say NO ! We, the brave souls at the 4th largest workwear company in Monaghan, will strive to change this definition.

We also stock sportswear , the wonderfulAsics brand , and we are starting to see a lot of similarities between new workwear fabrics and styling and those that are used in sportswear. We generally strive to make sure that the safety footwear and workwear that we stock is closer to sportswear in it's comfort, appearance and performance like the Lavoro safety trainers or the Lee Cooper technical polo shirt .

These new and innovative workwear and safety footwear styles may improve your team work ...see photo ...

Hi team! 1.) The polo costs €18.95. 2.) The most athletic looks the man on the right. But Johnny looks most serious, and what is important, most dangerous! And John looks like he really enjoys this exhibition!:-D He made me laugh! 3.) I do not deserve them, but if I win them, they will surely force me to get rid of my fatty winter thermal insulation!:-D I do not promise to run like an athlete, but I will sport more!:-D (well, I know it is not good answer, but I want to be honest) Enjoy the spring! Cheers, Jan

Its the Friday fun with the boys from Monaghan.... Let me start off my saying I always thought that there were only 3 stoogers however now I am proven wrong but then again your not the 4th largest workwear company in Monaghan for nothing. Back to the matter in hand the polo costs €18.95 The 2nd question is well phrased I will say no more other than provide the answer. The ginger lad between the old codger and the constipate looking lad with glasses far right seems to be the most athletic looking however "alll that glistens is not gold" and all that but that is my final decision. Why do I deserve the runners: I probably do not deserve these wonderful running shoes as I am not worthy but I will give it a shot. I am in training mode and need to have a decent pair of runners as need some sort of comfort factor bearing in mind it is over 18 years since I got any real exercise. Currently I am up to 5K and plan to extend the range over the coming months, these runners might soften the exercise regime.

the shirt is €18.95 i think you all look so athletic boys but i would have to say stephen is looking more so than the rest. the sweat band is convincing but really does it even get used. i had a pair and they are so comfortable and really need a new pair. i need them for walking my baby girl with 4 legs and also running around after my hubby and son on a daily basis. busy busy. they are stylish and can be worn with sports wear or jeans thanks GUYS angie over and out

1. €18.95 2.the most athletic looking has to be the guy in the field walking his dog [middle of pic between tree and esb pole] followed closely by the oul lad who actually managed to get one foot of the ground while the rest of yous are in fact just posing 3.i probably dont deserve them due to the fact that every time i try to start running i last about a month before the couch calls again but i reckon if i got the new ones i would keep it up ,then i become fit, and healthy,and prolong my life . so think about it youd give me a nice new pair of runners and possably save a life while at it ,how good would you feel then see both of us would be happy BARGIN p.s haix R3s best boot out there cheers guys for all the help
