OK, so I need a new coat, my old one has served me well but it's knackered! I fancy a retro rally jacket of some kind. I've seen a few online (can't remember where) that are all very Gulf and Steve McQueen/Le Mans, but I want something a bit more, err, umm, I dunno... Not like that anyway. More Gerry Marshall/CCC magazine ;D Also, cos I'm slightly on the large side, they never, EVER fit - 70s was all skinny fit stuff from what I can gather. Any ideas? I think I'm looking at getting something modern and plain that's the right shape/colour (if there is anything) and customising it myself. Also, I like retro-70s stuff, but not Nylon for everyday wear ;D Suggestions for suitable brands for patches etc welcome also

I still have a large 'toyota' rally badge I bought off some scoundrel on eBay ( ) to affix to my rather battered & be-patched 'summer' jacket. And a big 'datsun' one which is going to take pride of place on my sun-hat in '06

I was going to buy a rally jacket in the late 80's and then I read an article in Time Magazine that said "At parties avoid people who wear rally jackets!" ;D ;D ;D Just as thought if you attend a lot of parties

darren, if you put only one patch on it, it has to be the obligatory "STP" badge. ;D

The RT retro ones are promising, think I'm just a bit too big though (at the risk of turning girly, it's my broad shoulders rather than my gut that causes the problems!) Hmm, ta...

Those rtretro jackets were seen in classic ford for me a while back, sadly never got on my essentials list, wouldn't mind one though. wonder how popular they will be at RCS!

it doesn't matter if it's a Morris Marina or a Toyota Celica - it's what you do with it that counts

darrenw in da house: OK, so I need a new coatOhhhh Nooooooooooooo!!! Now you got me started, bowlingshirts, helmets & jackets are a few of my vices, I think I only spend more money on wines & grappa than that.... Last spring I got me one of these..... ...and the black one, stitched on STP, Hurst, Isky & Wynns patches to add a personal touch... DP says: Man now you got me started surfing for some 2006 fashions.....
