    I usually get cheap shirts from Tesco to wear on the footplate. Something like £4 for 2. It's not worth spending much as they'll soon be ruined and chucked in the rag bin!

    Where can I get the regional badges from? It would need to be wholesale from the makers.

    Well it looks exactly like virtually every grease-top I've ever seen, don't know what you're moaning about Jordan / Mitchell! All new greasetops have a look of a helicopter pad to them, hats just the way their made, but over time (and oil soakage) they tend to come down. Plus who can argue with £12.99, cheapest I've seen 'em

    Methinks you're just being fussy RS and Small Prairie!
