Armywear

DETECTIVES are probing a raid on a shop in High Street, Cleethorpes, which sells surplus armywear.

We buy/sell second-hand furniture/baby equipment, bric-a-brac, curios, models, armywear and bits and pieces.

To coordinate with your faux-armywear, Keds offers functional camouflage.

Invented by Basque peasants, this brimless wool felt cap has been adopted by many a chic figure, becoming ridiculously rich with references: armywear; stereotypical old Frenchmen; 1920s film directors; 1950s schoolgirls; beatniks, renegades.

They’d gone from baggy armywear for their first album to sassy for the second, then mumsy chic for the recent one: lots of long coats.
