Or a little pair of angry-looking knickers, for

I once had a very nice and stylish plether coat. I was 16, and looked COOL.

WillYouDoTheDangFanjo · 09/02/2011 14:06

I had one too, Quint, went almost to the floor.

For some reason though, it foamed in the rain.

Attractive.

QuintessentialShadows · 09/02/2011 14:08

oh I am jealous, mine did not foam!

Mine also went almost to the floor. My mothers friend who was a seamstress made it for me. I loved it. It had NO warmth, but at 16..... well you know, who cares about keeping warm.

DirtyMartini, that should come with a warning :)

backwardpossom · 09/02/2011 14:14

I have a brown leather sofa. :(

WillYouDoTheDangFanjo · 09/02/2011 14:15

Yes pleather coat is definitely style over substance. Women used to come up to me all the time saying they loved my coat and where did I get it (unless it was raining)

I sold it on eBay for £££ about 8 years ago when I had to admit that my waist wasn't coming back.

i have 2 brown leather sofas, one is beautiful but to big to fit in my house. the other is an original art deco one that is too small for our family.

I mostly sit on the floor :(
