As we have a mixed nationality on here, I wonder if everyone is familiar with this item? I think it is quite a British thing and it is predominately worn by ladies either on its own, over an overall (as shown above) or under an apron.
I have to wear one as part of my daily uniform (as above with additional layers of aprons, cap and rubber gloves) but I detest the tabard as it is an entirely feminine article and not for men at all. Perhaps I made an error in voicing my opinion as my wife delights in putting me in one and has ensured I wear one every day and even to bed.
I have a few questions. Do you think it is a unisex garment? Is my wife being reasonable in making me put one on? Does anyone else wear one? Should I have to wear it in public? Should a tabard match the overall or contrast it in a different colour?
Always in strict uniform
