Where did you find those Yorky??

Perfect Christmas jumpers ?

I'm trying to convince those around me that these are winter jumpers Things like this should be able to be worn into Feb or March without comments about Christmas being over.
Back in 81ish these would have been worn all year round. I had one which was one of the first things I chose to wear rather than parental imposition. I'd have continued wearing it even after the fashion faded, but I outgrew it.

 

[Man-of-Mystery]

I wore one in 81.

I've had a few over the years, but have always been a lot chunkier, these are are lot slimmer and look good with a plain button down shirt underneath them.

 

[Inkss]

Nice. Not a look I could pull off with my build and visage. I'd look like an apres ski henchman.

I recall Weller wore a cracker when he did that duet with Townsend at the Albert Hall , good look. .

Found these fauxhair slacks at the second hand store. Super comfortable.

 

[DONAIRE]

I don´t remember seeing this photo here. A double breasted military overcoat with ¿Sta-Prest? and boots. I really like the look and, honestly, I prefer wearing double breasted to crombie or even sheepskin (I have one from my grandpa in good condition...).

I usually wear like that guy, but then it was a bit odd, wasn´t it? Can anyone tell a little more about double breasted overcoats?

 

[Man-of-Mystery]

I did see them, but not in any huge quantities. tbh I think I saw two, maybe three blokes wearing them between 68 and 69, so I hope this doesn't become another "donkey jacket" issue!

 

[Botolph]

Looks like a “British Warm” or a greatcoat.

 

[DONAIRE]

Yeah, something like this... a very Kent & Curwen look

From what I gathered, donkey jackets were item that was phased out early in the development because it lacked smartness?
