Default where do you buy your workwear ? gonna need a good jacket and fleece ?

for thise that dont know , im a fencer by trade so 6 days a week im working out side . now im not mad and wont work in a mega down pour but i always work in the cold and i always work in normal rain .

im after a decent fleece for the winter and a decent works jacket .

ive got a high vis bomber style jacket that is wind proof , and quite warm but it aint that good in the wet and its a bit big to wear if i was digging holes all day .

i went to buildbaase , B and Q and Wickes looking for a good jacket .

i found a works range in B and Q but when i tryed the jackets on , i ended up with a XXL on , i just couldnt move freely in the others , but im only 5'10" and 13.5 stone . got a 42-44 chest so the jsacket looked stupid on me .

they also had these "micro fleece's" in . tried them on and they were ok , but are they windproof and warm ? they are as thin as my pants ? are tehy as good as the packet says?

just wonder where all you outdoor workers buy your gear from ??

i will also be after a decent set of trousers , slight rain resistant and a bit of warmth ?

any help or sugestions would be good and your own experiences
