My Dad is desperate for one and it's his birthday next week. Anyone know where I can find one that doesn't cost the earth?

And yes, I know it's not exactly 'style' but he is 74!

is it the one with all the pockets on it? maybe somewhere like millets?

sphil · 04/03/2008 09:47

Yes, lots of pockets and battered leather.

ILiketoMarmiteMarmite · 04/03/2008 09:59

Wow expensive but actually really really nice! And not just for 74-year-olds and weatherbeaten gardeners.

Prefer mehgalegs I think.

SheherazadetheGoat · 04/03/2008 10:02

SheherazadetheGoat · 04/03/2008 10:03

Bluestocking · 04/03/2008 10:03

I'm pretty sure that Monty's waistcoat is a Matt Fothergill but they are rather pricey.

ILiketoMarmiteMarmite · 04/03/2008 10:05

Mmmmmonty did anyone read his book The Jewel Garden? vv interesting despite irritating presence of wife throughout, dampening my fantasies of being Mrs Marmite Monty.
