Is it me? I now have five lovely coats, Barbour, North Face, Berghaus Crombie. So why do I only wear my ten year old shabby mucky fleece that’s fit for the bin😜😜😜

Like you I have a range, my favourite is a Sprayway Torridon bought in 2005 during a “team building” treat (trip) to Snowdonia. I keep coming under pressure to shed a few.

I don't have anything as fancy as those brands, but have several nice coats. Half a dozen or so which my wife moans about quite a lot
But I either wear a 15 year old Quicksilver snowboarding jacket which is unbelievably warm and wind proof despite being really thin or a vintage ExUS Army M65 Jacket which is neither particularly warm and not at all weather proof, but I love it with its darned holes and frayed cuffs

I think many of us have "old faithfuls" in our cupboard. I still have a suit that I bought in 1982 that still looks as good as the day that I bought it. I can still fit into it with a bit of a struggle. I have my faithful jersey that has disappeared on a few occasions but managed to find it again.

I have a few coats, nothing special. My favourite is the one closest to the cupboard door when I open it to go out.

But I once had a light jacket with massive pockets inside. It would drive Marj mad when I called it my ‘robbing jacket’. She hated it which might be why it disappeared!

I have a similar style of jacket made by Rohan, about 10 external pockets and 6 internal.
But not my favoured one, also a lovely Arran jumper my wife made for her father 35 years ago, totally waterproof due to the oils, self cleaning if left near the dogs.

You do get attached to old jackets sometimes and despite having several I do tend to stick to a few favourites. Only threw out one that came from Littlewoods stores last year, I liked that one and could not bare to be parted from it until I ad no choice.
