No matter which type of work wear I seem to buy, it always gets ruined by hypo. Lately I was talking to the owner of the business that does our embroidery and he told me that grey was the best colour to use. So I bought grey work trousers from Aldi ( €12) 70% polyester and 30% cotton. In the past my wife has bought blue work trousers from Aldi and the slightest spray of bleach ruined them. The grey one I wore last week seems fine and we sprayed some neat on a corner of the leg where it wouldn't be seen. It did mark it but not that noticeable.
Hopefully using grey will work out and save us from constantly having to buy new gear. Anyone else have other ideas?

I am a distributer for Portwest. I don't advertise it but these are the products I use.
nylon, polyester types are best. but do yellow if white.
cotton rots.
performance sportswear is synthetic.
I'd go with grey&white digitized camo!

We get all of our shirts and hoodies locally. We had been using grey cotton blends for years and started changing to a wicking grey last year. I get each employee seven shirts and it usually makes it through a season. The pants are the tough part so we do second hand (Goodwill) khaki shorts and pants, blends as well. The pants are $3.00, basically throw away once they get nasty.

I always ask for poly embroidering? Logo and stuff.

100% polyester collared active shirts. "Logo up" offered a free one last year embroidered so I got one. Charcoal gray has been attacked by some hot roof mix and it is holding up very well. If you look for it you can see slight where the color has changed but it is really not noticeable if you dont look for it. Also pretty breathable and doesnt get soaked like a cotton tshirt.
Have since ordered a few more from a friend in the business.
I wear Jean's for pants and they get destroyed especially from the knee down.
