pea coats.

i really like those.
can't go to a shop for one.
don't dare to buy online.
too old for them probably anyway.
i DO like them though.
having said that,
i have no need of decent clothes.

wrong thread.

WTF is a Pea Coat?

They were worn by the merchant navy, black heavy duty double breasted with big lapels

Had one in 1972

It was called a coat then.

That was 1972 for you - Frenzy (Hitchcock), Sleuth (Mankiewicz), Cabaret (Fosse), Deliverance (Boorman). If you used more than one word, you were a cunt.

well,
i like those that tuck in at the waist.
have a bit of shape to them.

maybe i'm thinking of something else.
double-breasted?
whatever.
i'm never going to have one because,
i can't go into a shop.
(don't have the confidence.
probably wouldn't have the cofidence to wear the fuckin thing ).

and me?
shop online?
i don't think so.

So if you don't go into a shop for clothes or shop online, what are you wearing?

i have jeans that i bought about 10yrs ago.
lee coopers.(they don't age).
a black parka that i bought over the phone.
(I'VE HAD that a few years to.)
and one pair of shoes.

i'm never out of my work uniform.
wear my work-kit for shopping-trips.
EVERY trip outdoors.
incuding steel-toe workboots.
