I want to buy a friend a pair of trousers for him to wear when he's 
working on his car (outdoors - no garage).

I've heard about various high-tech fabrics which make garments water-
repellent.  But is there anything similar to this that is also stain-
resistant (oil, brake fluid, etc.)?

If not, then which brands of workwear would you recommend as being 
good for car maintenance?

I need to be able to get this in the UK.  Thanks for any help.

A pair of old jeans.
Scrub a bit of Swarfega into the worst of the stains before lobbing 'em in 
the washing machine.

Get a pair of overalls.  An army and navy shop is a good place to look!

I just use the 4 jeans from Tescos, the 3 pound T-shirt from the same. On 
top of these I use a set of overalls from wherever I can blag a set. Best 
one so far was overalls from CR Smith. I've never heard of oil resistant 
ones, but I have had waterproof ones, but those were too hot to wear in 
comfort.

A cheap pair of black tracksuit bottoms.  Brand is absolutely irrelevant.

Elasticated, so quick and easy to jump in and out of, black, so if you've 
got small amounts of oil and grease on your hands you want to quickly get 
off, just rub your hands on them.  And cheap.

Asda jeans. Three quid. While you're there, pick up a couple of large
cardboard boxes to use as kneeling mats and to keep your nice clean drive
free of oil, brake fluid, coolant, blood (if you're unlucky) etc.

Get some cheap trousers from Oxfam. They'd be glad of the business.

Unfortunately the main problem with jeans is that if it rains then 
the jeans just absorb the rain.

I want to get something which lets my friend carry on working 
without feeling soaked to the skin just because it is raining.

Do you have any ideas about the high-tech fabrics I asked about 
(above)?

John - the  trousers at that link seem to be really great!  Although 
they are sold as trousers for a professional driver the web page says 
they are 

       "Teflon coated. Windproof, abrasion proof, stain 
       resistant and water repellent fabric."

See http://snipurl.com/fik9

But as Stuart G posted in this thread:  when he tried working on his 
car in some waterproof clothes, it was too hot for comfort.

I wonder if these high-tech fabrics also suffer from being too hot.  
Does anyone know?  I don't want my friend cursing me for sweating 
away while working on a hot day!

Do you think the "drivers trousers" which John posted about would

Is it only me who's slightly intrigued by this 'friend'?  Have you got
him working on _your_ car in all weathers?  If so, what's his reward?
Is it just his trousers you want to stay dry; it's OK for his
tee-shirt to get all wet and clinging to his skin?

Forgive me for prying, but as I have no life of my own, I need to live

Poor chap    :o)

How about a gazebo? Woolies and the like are doing largish ones for not all
that much at the moment. If his gallantry is such that he insists on working
on your car in the pouring rain, that'll keep him and the surrounding area
dry. You'll probably get some funny looks from the neighbours though.

Hi guys,

Some of you obviously want to know more about this "friend" I'm 
buying a present for, so I won't disappoint you - his identity will 
be revealed.  He's my DAD!

And it is his car, not mine, that he'll be working on out in the 
rain and snow - poor Dad!

Hugo, thanks for the rubberwear pics - a kind thought but not 
actually relevant in this context.

Oh, and no more references to clinging T-shirts - purleeze!

You could just buy him a pair of shorts then when hes finished he washes 
his legs and dries them just like his hands :)

ON a more serious note I got a pair of waterproof trousers from marco 
which feel just like cotton u wash em and tumble drier them to 
reactivate the waterproofing (Yes sounds barmy but it works!) they seem

You could just buy him a pair of shorts then when hes finished he washes

etc.
