Perhaps he’s just a big Michael Palin fan.

Or from Yorkshire, being forced to live in Lancashire and staging a silent protest?

I bought this Belstaff CORDURA/ PRO-TOURA jacket in the shop I work in this aft' for £30.

That must be 20 years old

Possibly is, but it was for sale in a 'retro clothing' shop so.... It's still in good shape though. I've just washed it and it's come up ok.

Mmm, i wonder if one of these would go with it?🤔

There i was the other day, walking down the high street when it suddenly peed it down. I was next to a charity shop so i dashed in there to escape the downpour. Waiting for the shower to end i spotted this item below. On taking it off the coat hanger i thought heck, it's a genuine Crombie of Aberdeen coat! I tried it on expecting the usual too short for me arms, to be pleasantly surprised to see the coat fitted almost perfectly! These coats sell for around £500 to £1000. I bought it for a mere tenner!🧐

Nice find

My second 'bargain of the month'!!

100% worsted wool and it fits like a glove! Even the sleeves are a good length, which is unusual for me to find. I picked this up in the same charity shop i bought the Crombie coat in two weeks ago....for a mere £4.95!!!!🧐

All you need now is the motorbike to go with it

I might be up your way on Friday, I'll have to have a look in there and see what I can find.

I regret buying it. I washed it and it came up nice and clean, but motorcycle gear isn't really me.🧐 I'm not too keen on black clothing either. I've worn it once and on that occasion someone said to me "I didn't have you down as a biker". Ah well, we have these fashion failures every now and then.

A nice duffel coat i bought from the shop today. Yes, i know i'm trying to stop buying clothes, but at least i'm now buying charity shop and retro shop items, not expensive new ones off the internet. It is/was made by Horne Brothers, who went out of business 10 years ago.
