"Me neither Motown, these days to warm my arthritic bones I wear a cashmere overcoat, with a tasteful velvet collar, rich red tonic lining, along with the old ticket pocket and centre vent. But I suppose a lot of guys and gals on here still do…"
Motown replied to Ian's discussion 'Mod Badges.'"Haven't worn badges or a parka since the 80's. I used to wear and collect them as a school kid but those day are long gone ;-)"

Catherine Donnelly said… Hi, yep , perhaps a female in a parka is a little controversial would never have worn this as a young mod in Glasgow. However, it is cosy and im doing my own thing these days. Great Roy Hamilton track ,first came across it at a Globetrotter scooter club dance away back, still fab tune.
