Do you remember those parka coats with an orange lining that you wore to school eons ago?

[oliveoil]

They had about 200 pockets all over the place and a fur hood, that when zipped up, made you look like something from South Park.

I had a blue one and they came in khaki as well.

I want one again, would be fab for walking with the buggy.

Yes - and once zipped up they withstood any onslaught of snowballs. But it used to snow back then too!!

Mine was burgandy to match my school tie

Do you think they still make them? I really want one!!

Saddo alert.

Just for you

your dream coat

THAT'S IT!!!! Bless you for linking it for me, but I am a slip of a thing, it will not fit me. Sigh.

1970's vintage eh?, that's me all round (well late 1969 really).

I would look in GAP. Ds has one - it's khaki on the outside and has a bright orange lining and has a furry hood - but I got it 2 years ago. You could probably find one in the kids bit that would fit you (if you wanted!)

almost there

Boden? I am working class and so banned I think.

Oh wow I had one of those. My mum hated them and I had to beg and cry and do housework for weeks and weeks to get one!!

I'd love another one if only to see my mum's face!!

I got one from Boxfresh in Covent Garden 2 years ago - I love it and will be wearing it this winter too. Green lining though.
