My boys are not sure about my current coat. Having abandoned my C&A job (how long ago was it that they stopped trading here?) I'm now using my eldest son's old parka. A 'hand me up' is what they call it.

ReplyDeleteI used to have a coat like that when I was a teenage mod. Back then, we used to call them "fishtail parkas" . I didn't used to wear mine with a baseball cal tho'.
ReplyDeleteHave a happy Christmas!
I must admit that the parka I had as a kid was no great shakes. I really like the fishtail on this one. Once again your age advantage tells. Whereas I only caught the (fish?)-tail end of the mod era, you experienced the full blown revival. Do you think I should get a roundel stitched on the back?
ReplyDeleteThe roundel kind of makes you a moving target for marauding rockers, so I wouldn't bother with one, unless you're feeling a bit brave. ;-)
ReplyDeleteDo you still have that coat?
ReplyDeleteI will buy it from you, can jou make more pictures of it?
Thanks
