One has been asked to submit one's patched hedgelaying coat as seen on Country file for consideration. One's valets add a patch each time on wears it. One got the idea from Mary Antoinette playing at milkmaids.
Probably my multi-pocketed waistcoat. I asked for one when I was 12 and my parents got me it for Christmas. It was massive! I still wore it though and 22 years later I still have and wear it when I'm out in the countryside. To my knowledge its only ever been washed twice. There's all manner of crap in the pockets, from badger teeth to tinder, chapstick to matchstick.
Swazi a gift does his friend want another friend by any chance!
