Henri Lloyd RWR is one of Mr Strzelecki’s signature pieces in the late 60s, and over the years has become an iconic piece of jacketry.
This version was updated in part by Best Company designer Olmes Carretti, comes in bright blue and green so to be seen...
HL's iconic jacket at a ridiculous bargain price. Mind you, was listed as a 'car jacket' which sounds like something Alan Partridge would buy/sell...

Has it changed much in 23 years?
More marsh parka goodness. Few years since I last had one of these, the prospect of picking another one up dirt cheap was too much to resist...
As promised here's the (not so much) good, the bad and the ugly of some of Happy Mondays other designer collaborations.
I wrote once upon a time on this blog about 1999's surprising link up with Admiral. The 1970s football shirt supremos had been bust for about a decade and hoped their big come back would be boosted by Mondays reformation in 99. I can't really say that worked for them as the last time I saw any Admiral gear was in the TU section of Sainsbury's.
That said they made some smart tour tees, plus back stage crew specials, in a Mondays yellow. And also they stuck to what they knew, producing an awesome red football shirt sold at gigs - a few years ago I spied one on eBay for 40 quid and passed on it. The one I found on Google images was over £300. Sigh.
Next up was last year's Palarse effort. The skateboarding crew went a long way to beat the competition, namely COVID19, to be the worst thing to come out of 2020. Perhaps slightly unfair, the overpriced tees are ok, using central stations design but changing the P for Palaces slant. And there's a crazed Bez.
But the hats, shirts and jacket? Dam, kuff. Decent on a record sleeve but on your person? Yes please? No thanks.
Haven't done one of these for ages. Years in fact. When I post a load of bits and pieces I've picked up. This lot is especially random, boredom of lockdown taking effect...
