My DH has loved Brenda for many years. I suggested getting a Hat and coat like hers and he seemed to get excited! Ffs. Where can I buy this (not that I would be wearing it to bed)

Ha! Brilliant! Don't suppose you live in the North East? I saw Vera hats at the quayside market in Newcastle last weekend so they are a thing.

I LOVE Vera. I look just like her too.

Can't help with the purchasing of the hat and coat - but you did make me laugh, on the day I decided to start my divorce!!! I love Vera!!!

My Mam has a hat like that. It’s from Barbour. The outlet in South Sheilds so it’s likely that Vera got hers in the same place. 🕵🏽‍♀️

wizzywig · 17/01/2018 11:01

I was so hoping you meant brenda blethyn!!

Fabellini · 17/01/2018 11:07

I’ve got a navy Barbour hat almost exactly the same as Vera’s one! Bought it at a horse show a few years ago because it was tipping with rain and an umbrella would have meant I couldn’t see what was going on properly.
I wore it for that one day, and never again.....

SavoyCabbage · 17/01/2018 12:13

Well get it in the post to Polly!

Mollypolly2610 · 17/01/2018 14:17

Fabellini I will buy it from you!! Snowed in today so I can’t get out for my trench coat! And it’s my DH birthday and I wanted to dress up for him Grin

On closer examination it’s not exactly the same....is it similar enough? Grin

Vera
Mollypolly2610 · 17/01/2018 17:42

It looks very similar and a better colour than Veras!

I have a trench coat like Vera's and my dad took the piss when I wore it. I give no fucks. I love it.

Greenfinch1 · 17/01/2018 17:54

Love Vera, so happy its back on! Also check out fishing shops, my DH very keen fisherman and has hats very like Vera's. Can't believe she is 70, looks much younger.
