A Bargain Or A Waste Of Money?

I've just seen an on-line advertisement for a Bulgarian army vintage greatcoat.  It's all wool and only costs £12.

I'm tempted but fear I'd look like a Bulgarian version of Claud Green grass in his ex-army coat.

Decisions, decisions.  What should I do?

But if I bought one and my few friends didn't like it they might give me the cold shoulder, leave me off their invitation lists.

Dear gawd, I do sound a bit like her...

Can you post a link?

 

If your friends shun you, Sandy, you could always get a lurcher and call it Alfred 😉

If they didn't like it, you could dye it a different colour:)

At £12 is it a worry? You could chuck it on the bed in winter.

^. True, it would be cheaper than a wool blanket.

I used to wear an army great coat but so did a lot of men.

You shouldn't care what people think of you

That's a smart coat, if it fits properly 

Thats a lovely coat and at that price you could have it tailored to get that snug fit that is needed

I'm tempted now, were Bulgarians tall?

Well, it will keep you warm. 😁

 

I like it a lot..

How strong are you Sandy? Could you withstand it?

I wouldn't want to be ostracized because of my poor fashion sense.

I'll give the coat a miss.

probably good value, you'll look like Dr Zhivago but thet may be the look you are after.

You could start a new trend, Sandy..😃

That looks like a really good warm coat. I'd be tempted if I needed one. No danger of having cold shoulders in a coat like that. It could even become very fashionable.

There's  a similar one on Ebay, British army surplus and listed as a not too bad coat. 🤣
