Placid I could write a thesis on those cord jackets Placid.
Funny how a memory can unlock other memories, but I can't remember stuff from 2 years ago.
I used to go to Leeds market for them. There seemed to be two different ranges of them, one had a superior checked lining. Dark brown, olive/dark green, beige and the navy blue one. Hung up, and passed down to you by a guy using the school window opening pole.
Best worn when tied tightly at the bottom and tucked under to get rid of the bulbous bagginess at the bottom. Zipped three quarters of the way up (never fully open). Sort of pushed to one side across one shoulder, revealing the polo shirt or crew neck/checked shirt.
Pepe jeans with the blue plastic fob? Lee jeans, Wimbledon's, Smith's or Korsika/Tenerife shoes.
Might be mixing my eras up there. M&S did a slate blue crew neck lambswool, though to be truthful, I was often in Littlewood's working off their Johnson's paint colour card.
