right, i have been, and they've still got them in, had 5 in stock. still not sure where they came from originally, no label other than washing instructions but there is a card tag which says 'gpw moda' but have googled that and come up with nothing. lady in shop said they don't know who made them originally either.
it doesn't look much on the hanger, in fact at first glance it looked like a skirt. it's sort of like a high necked cape, it's straight at the bottom rather than pointed like a poncho, but the high neck folds down to make a cowl. it's 50% wool/50% polyester, cosy looking, with a fluffy finish, it's quite thick and looks a bit like boiled wool (kind of felted rather than knitted). they are all one size only and are £24.99. the only bad point is the belt that comes with it is awful. it's black, elasticated with a silver plastic(!) buckle. belt holes will fit a 3" wide belt, and the one that comes with it can easily be removed binned and replaced. the belt feeds through 4 slits, like this
they've had a couple of phone calls this morning about them, people have obviously recognised it off corrie!
let me know if you want one, will buy and post it to you!
