Anyone else still got any C&A clothing? I've not long replaced my purple ski jacket from nearly 30 years ago! shock

Not too old in the wealth of examples out there, but those black opaque tights... Our daughter at less than 5' and size 8 used to wear them every day to school. I often wore them to work too, so to distinguish when they'd been washed, I'd sew a length of red cotton inside the hem and tie it off on all mine. Worked at treat.
Came across some with red cotton the other day. She left school 19 years ago! shock

I have a 'St Michaels' dressing gown which must be around 25 years old. I rarely wear it as I prefer fleece pyjamas when I get up in the morning.

I have a trench coat I’ve had nearly 25yrs it’s miles too big for me now but I’ve always loved it and it cost an arm and a leg I can’t bear to get rid.

I’ve just been looking at old photos, and have seen one of me from fifteen years ago, wearing a jacket I still wear!
