Hideous - does he still have the receipt?. Either he is very much in touch with his femine side or he brought it for a lady friend, you found out and he has had to pretend it was for him. It is truly revolting.

PrisonerOfWaugh · 03/02/2012 22:41

Was the shop he bought it from called ?

wotzypunkbunny · 03/02/2012 22:41

Even graham norton wouldn't wear that suit.

imgoingtokilldh · 03/02/2012 22:41

yes the jacket is no where near as bad as the bag, but really for work?
i don't think that sort of thing should be worn at work.

he doesn't actually have a fur coat....yet, not for the want of trying to get one.

i think hes got some sort of dysmorphia, you know how anorexic people look in the mirror and see a fat person when they weigh 6 stone? well i think dh looks in the mirror and sees somesort of american rap star

Dh says, omg he has got issues.

Mind you, dh once bought one of those long chain things cool skater dudes have hanging out of their low cut jeans pockts with pants showing over the top. He was totally not cool enough to pull it off and never used the thing.

But then he didn't spend over a grand on that...

MaryMotherOfCheeses · 03/02/2012 22:43

I'm finding all this a little hard to believe.

QuintessentialyHollow · 03/02/2012 22:44
Confused Are you sure it is not for his mistress?
unintendedadult · 03/02/2012 22:45

This local government he is a member of, it wouldn't be Noting Hill would it??

Does he have anything to do with that particular tuesday based parade??

ravenAK · 03/02/2012 22:45

the jacket, OTOH, is fabulous!

He'll be pimping your MPV next.

QuintessentialyHollow · 03/02/2012 22:46

You must insist that you should also have a Prada bag. I suggest this

And he should stop monkeying about.

aquashiv · 03/02/2012 22:46

Wow this is shockingly awful.
I trust his earnings support his distinct lack of sense taste.

QuintessentialyHollow · 03/02/2012 22:47

Personally, I quite like this But I am officially going through a midlife crisis, as I am 40 in February. At least that is my excuse.

latenightmum · 03/02/2012 22:48

OMG did he get the light blue one that will stain horribly!

shuckleberryfinn · 03/02/2012 22:48

I clicked the link, spluttered "whey man fuck off" and now I'm missing some wine.

citytovillage · 03/02/2012 22:49

N YANBU! You could buy a lot for that; nappies, an old banger car etc. That bag is truly hideous- make him take it back. He could have at least bought a nice bag. I wouldn't even pay £50 for that! My changing bag is nicer!

PippiL · 03/02/2012 22:49

Quintessentially. Don't do it, that bag is grim! Looks cheap.

You're right, if a woman bought it no one would bat an eyelid.

Thats because it's a woman's bag!!!

Your dh likes secret cock OR he's trying to get rid of you so he can call himself Delores.

There IS NO other explanation - secret cock.......or ........Delores.

Which is it to be?

BuntyPenfold · 03/02/2012 22:50

Could you customise it for him? It couldn't really look any worse.

imgoingtokilldh · 03/02/2012 22:50

he def is not having any affair, hes just bought a tshirt online while ive been on here, thats quite nice, white tee with a bulldog on it, nothing too terrible, although he will probably team it with his carrot tops.

type of jeans if anyones goign to ask what they are. i'm not too keen on them, but not everything he wears os horrible, somethings are really nice.

QuintessentialyHollow · 03/02/2012 22:51

oh dont worry, I cant afford it. We are not civil servants, we run our own business, and what with salaries for other people, we cant really get that sort of stuff.... Wink

bibbitybobbityhat · 03/02/2012 22:51

I'm finding all this a little bit hard to believe but v entertaining Grin

DamselInDisarray · 03/02/2012 22:51

I used to share an office with a married man who would so have bought himself a sparkly manbag, and a swirly jacket. He was definitely not gay, just quite camp.

OP: can you afford the bag? (I agree it's hideous, but if you can afford it and he's happy holding it and you don't have to be seen with him while he does, then I don't really see the harm).
