A Bargain Or A Waste Of Money?

[sandyRoe]

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?

You sound like Abbey!! Go for it 🧥

[sandyRoe]

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

[barry1010]

That's a smart coat, if it fits properly 

[DDIL]

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

[barry1010]

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.

[ToraToraTora]

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

[Patsy33]

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. 🤣
