mottaloo Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 Bit odd I know but here's the thing : Back in 1985 i spunked £250 on a rather smart, grey heavy quality sheepskin jacket - not 3/4 length but the usual length past the waist but not to the knees. I wore it 3 times & ever since then its been bagged up & me mam's house....for 27 years to be precise. My question is : are these type of coats frowned upon now ? The collar is grey fur but synthetic. I dont see them around - not that I have been looking that closely. Or with the "retro/vintage" theme en voque is it worth me flogging it ? Thoughts please, thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GarethRDR Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 There's a joke in here about Motty and a sheepskin jacket, but I'm still too depressed to make it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimzk5 Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 Is it the same as Del Boy wears? I'm hoping its a pat butcher one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seat68 Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 I used to have a lovely one in the 70's I robbed it off a Villa supporter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CI Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 I would love a sheepskin. Where's the best place to buy them ? M&S ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 Car dealer / predatory sex pest I guess location plays a part as well... might be in vogue around Camden Town or down the Portobello Road. Walk down Erdington High Street in it and you might have people spitting on your back (or is that just me they do that to?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NurembergVillan Posted December 24, 2012 Moderator Share Posted December 24, 2012 Sheepskin coats have been threatening a comeback for a couple of years now, and with men's catwalk designers touting them lately it's a fair shout that they'll be on the high street for next winter. When brands like this are offering them on websites like this you know it's only 12 months away from average Joe... To be honest, though, a grey faux-sheepskin from the 80s sounds a bit naughty...

chrisp65 Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 on the presumption you were more than 12 years old, added to it being in storage for 27 years, you are now in your 40's: wear what the **** you like incidentally, if you really want to rock the retro sheepskin, get yourself down to the RAF museum in Telford and bag yourself one of their WWII flying jackets, that and an old MG Midget guaranteed to pull tons of +70 clunge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maqroll Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 This reminds me of the time I was at a childhood friend's house, and we found his father's stash of lamb membrane condoms. **** disgusting. My image of him didn't improve a few years later when I walked into their living room, and saw him jumping up and down on a little trampoline whilst completely naked. Trauma, pure trauma.

CrackpotForeigner Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Found this ol' thread gathering dust in a back room. Seems a shame to let it go quietly.

CrackpotForeigner Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 After another inevitable late defeat for our football team, perhaps the time has come, once again, for us to reflect on sheepskin jackets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
