Men at Work in Sri Lanka

The shape and choice of colours is the new world diamond with yellow canvas. The drawing however is the European kind and very well done. Only the shoulder is a bit less convincing and the cap, of course. Our man on the field brings evidence that real men at work are wearing a hard hat. The second find takes this into account.

Take a closer look at the trousers.
The first man wears jeans with narrow legs which he can put in his wellingtons.

    The man with the helmet - he consulted our safety sheet, but to be fair, we didn't discuss trousers - choose the bootcut kind. (I'm just thinking: aren't his hips a trifle too wide for a man?)
Bootcut is designed to fall over boots and therefore doesn't fit specially well in wellingtons. And on top of that he places his foot in the heap. This is a widespread habbit in Spain and, in my opinion, difficult to combine with clean clothes.

Did you know that men in Bulgaria prefer slacks?
