bugsette Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 maybe Macy's or Stein Mart? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buzzt Posted February 21, 2008 Author Share Posted February 21, 2008 Thanks for your help UKDEBC. I wish it was that simple that the uniform is supplied but alas it is not. Anyway I mentioned the mock turtleneck idea and it was not acceptable. Hadnt thought about the womens sies before but he is definitely bigger than a miss size (thank goodness :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ukdebc Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Ok - so if I HAD to have this - I would probably do the following at least until he can find out where to get one of these shirts. buy a shirt such as this (I searched for high visability workwear)http://www.envirosafetyproducts.com/images.php?imgtype=L&product_id=2003&thumb=1&width=200&height=200http://www.envirosafetyproducts.com/product/safety-t-shirts-long-sleeve.html and then use one of these under the shirthttp://www.dickies-dickies.com/images/Img135.giffrom http://www.dickies-dickies.com/ - otherwise you could dye a white one orange - but I think that might be hard to get even...

Sugar&Spice Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Maybe a sports website that has Syracuse or Tennessee sports stuff since orange is their color? I can't think of anyone else who has orange as their school color but I'm sure there are others. Does it have to be plain? Could it have a team logo on it?

buzzt Posted February 21, 2008 Author Share Posted February 21, 2008 Great suggestions and more importantly I really appreciate the responses. Thanks very much Kandy for your website research. And UKDEBC your suggestion about the tshirt and dickie underneath is genius! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzzt Posted February 21, 2008 Author Share Posted February 21, 2008 Sugar&Spice yes it has to be plain. No team logos or anything like that. Good thinking though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debbha Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 If you go to www.kingsizedirect.com and search turtlenecks...they have one that is called rust that is basically the orangey...pumpkin color from Halloween. Don't know if that would be close enough. When I enlarged the photo...it looked orange to me. HTH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

afrey66 Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 What about a hunters clothing website? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inluvstill Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 (edited) I'm not sure if this will work or not. :-) [http://www.sierratradingpost.com/p/154,53973_Columbia-Sportswear-Mock-Turtleneck-Long-Sleeve-For-Men.html Edited February 21, 2008 by inluvstill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzzt Posted February 21, 2008 Author Share Posted February 21, 2008 Debhha that looks like it could be an option. Could you tell me please where you found it? At this point I am so tired. I just spent this morning again at an outlet place looking at all their stores. (My internet was done anyway :)) Anyway I am back now and will look into all your suggestions.

buzzt Posted February 21, 2008 Author Share Posted February 21, 2008 OK i checked some Hunters Websites AFREY66 and they sell alot of camouflage and scent hiding turtlenecks (?!) but no orange. Also checked sierratrading INLUVSTILL but then realized it was the same place KANDY suggested earlier in her post. I have looked at some many places I am forgetting where i have been. Anyway I guess my last option is DEBBHA's and UKDEBC's. The problem is it must be ORANGE as in saftey / security bright orange. Thanks again ALL FOR EVERYTHING and helping me through this. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debbha Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 (edited) the thumbnail is from the www.kingsizedirect.com, I will keep plugging to see if I see an orange one. I think the appropriate color is called orange glow or orange blaze. I've seen T-shirts on safety clothing sites, but not a turtleneck. Wish I could be more help. Worse case scenario would be that I saw a women's orange turtleneck in plus size at Land's Ends website.

Sugar&Spice Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Since the brilliant folks at your husband's work have decided people should wear this, what do they have to say about where to get them? Maybe they have already done the leg work and know where they are available. Otherwise, maybe he needs to go to them and say orange turtlenecks are nearly impossible to find. Is there another alternative? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzzt Posted February 22, 2008 Author Share Posted February 22, 2008 Thanks for the additional color name choices Debbha. I will certainly try those choices in my online searches. i never knew there were some many different ways to say orange before!! And since the employer has made it my hubby's responsibility to get the right shirt, it then in turn it became my headache :) Sugar&Spice. Again thank you all for your support in getting me through this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debbha Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Glad to help....returning the many times that others have helped me. I too was surprised to find so many ways to say "orange". My brother works for our local power company and tried to see if the uniform company that they used had colors like this..unfortunately, they didn't. But I will keep looking. Have you tried a local uniform company? Many of those places can ask a manufacturer and get something like that....I still remember looking for 100 percent cotton socks and other apparel and finally stumbling upon someone willing to order in bulk.

dealluvr Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 (edited) classiccloseouts has mens turtlenecks for $5.99 BUT they have all dark colors except for a bright yellow one.maybe you could see if the dry cleaners maybe dye things. it is in the clearance section k mart has mens turtlenecks for $8 of course not in orange but they do have white you could dye it or have it dyed Edited February 22, 2008 by dealluvr add Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzzt Posted February 23, 2008 Author Share Posted February 23, 2008 KMART is a good idea. I will check the one by me! Also Debbha I suspect i will just stumble across one too (at least i hope so). I dont want to get frustrated by the whole thing as I am thankful for the reason hubby needs one. A job is a job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
