I once owned a lovely dark brown velvet coat in the 70s, I would like one now but don't seem to find one I like, with a bit of embroidery on it if I'm being specific. I see them on celebs in the newspapers but they probably bought them in London (the typical high street doesn't offer things like that).
And I owned a stripey coat, I loved that too. And I loved my friend's big coat, if I remember correctly, was made from heavy curtain material (sort of) in green.
I think fashion lacks personality now, it's so bland - each shop is the same.
