New Aldi £10 'professional' jacket that 'keeps you warm' similar to £30 B&Q version

New Aldi £10 'professional' jacket that 'keeps you warm' similar to £30 B&Q version Shoppers can get their hands on the new Special Buy item in a few days Aldi is bringing out a new item that may interest anyone who wants to look 'professional' while staying warm. The budget supermarket is releasing a new range of clothing next week in its upcoming 'Winter Workwear' collection on Sunday, October 11. As temperatures begin to drop across the UK, Aldi is helping those who work outdoors stay warm and comfortable with its Black Workwear Fleece Jacket for £9.99. The jacket is made from Oeko-Tex 100% recycled polyester and comes with a side zip pocket. The regular fit fleece jacket is available in black or grey and comes in various sizes, with men's and women's options. Aldi says: "A practical layering piece that combines lasting warmth, all-day comfort and a smart professional appearance." Budget-conscious tradespeople and DIY enthusiasts may be especially impressed by the supermarket's middle aisle buy when shopping for good value-for-money winter clothing. Particularly if they are shopping on a budget, as there are similar versions of the £10 fleece on sale elsewhere on the market for much more. Aldi’s seasonal Workwear Black Fleece Jacket shares similar features to B&Q’s Regatta Professional Sigma Heavyweight Unisex Fleece. The B&Q version is available on its website for £27.81 and comes in a wide variety of sizes. It is designed to keep you warm. Both jackets target the same audience by offering a highly practical, minimalist black utility layer designed for manual labour. However, a closer look reveals some differences between the two. Aldi's Special Buy offers a standard medium-to-heavyweight polyester build. It features essential utility elements, including a stand-up collar and secure zippered side pockets to keep tools and mobile phones safe on site. However, for those facing harsher outdoor conditions, the Regatta Professional Sigma Fleece available via B&Q steps up the quality. The B&Q variant boasts an extreme fabric weight of 380 GSM (grams per square metre), making it significantly thicker and warmer than Aldi’s version. The B&Q Regatta fleece also uses an anti-pill "symmetry" fabric designed to resist bobbling over time, alongside an adjustable shockcord hem to lock out cold drafts. The choice is ultimately up to shoppers regarding which design and price they prefer; however, Aldi's option presents as a more affordable option. What else is Aldi selling? For additional warmth, Aldi is also releasing packs of Workwear Socks for £3.99. "From clock-in to clock-out, keep your feet happy", Aldi says. The Lycra socks come in packs of three and feature "anti-bacterial treatment". They are 30°C machine washable and shoppers can choose from yellow, grey or blue in sizes 6/8-9/11.
