ozalid Posted October 26, 2023 Report Share Posted October 26, 2023 (edited) I used to work in a proper Army & Navy store in Leicester back in the late 60's and we had these in stock new, they came in a heavy flat cardboard box wrapped in greaseproof paper, some of them had a dark camouflage finish, the quality of the leather was superb, I'm sure that back then we sold them for a couple of quid, they were very popular with coal men and bin men, wish I had a couple hundred of them now. Worth every penny of £75 today. Edited October 26, 2023 by ozalid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Down South Posted October 26, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2023 In the early sixties all the manual workers wore them and our coal man certainly did along with a round leather hat with a flap down the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
