Pub bans customers wearing 'jobby catcher' tracksuit bottoms and shoes with no socks

The Dreadnought boozer in Leith, Edinburgh, describes itself as ‘old skool’ and ‘a pub that knows how to party’.

But the trendy pub has raised eyebrows by putting a sign in the window - telling men they will not be allowed in if they are dressed head-to-toe in grey marl trackies, or wearing shoes with no socks. The pub is also considering a ban on flip-flops.

A sign, reading ‘gentlemen’s dress code’ depicted a man dressed in a grey tight-fitting tracksuit cuffed at the ankles and trainers, described as ‘jobby catchers’.
