No thank you. Those pics look from the 1970's, which for the most part, I'm happy to be 30-odd years away from...
So that's where AL got the idea from!!
The colour isn't really my bag, but that particular design is interesting - makes me think of the Chrysler Building, for some reason.
Big Blackadder fans, maybe?
I think it's more of a tan than an orange - it looks a little satsuma in that pic. I get the Chrysler thing too.
"Yes, that's right! A lovely lovely jacket with great big lovely pockets."
Bloody hell, I just noticed that eBay link, Nick. £1,300 second hand? *faints*
I was thinking more of Nursey's udder fixation...
I'd expect it to be more that reddish, very *slightly* orangey-tan that was popular in the seventies. Or somewhere between that and Aero's russet. Either way, I'm sure it is much nicer a colour in reality.

J Jones...Edward, you are being udderly ridiculuous, it is clearly a Storse jacket! Seriously though looks more 1970's Battlestar / Buck Rogers to me.
I really like the hippy jacket, but with that many pockets, it reminds me of a kid's book my mom used to read to me - Katy No Pockets, about a kangaroo who didn't have a pouch, so they put an apron on her with a bunch of pockets to make her feel better. The "Little Wing" is a cool color, but the design makes me think of the forcedly "futuristic" looking costumes they put on Dr. McCoy in the first few Star Trek movies. He always looked like a 70's swinger, instead of a future dweller. Each to his own. Frank
It's Nursey's original udder quote, but with 'jacket' swapped in. It has a ring of truth about it, doesn't it?
