Mørkeblå Burberry blazer i lækker kvalitet og med fine, fine knapper.  Når man som jeg er temmelig glad for blazere med stumpe-ærmer, hvad gør det så, at der i nakken står, at den er en str. 12-13 år.

Noget af det mest fantasifremkaldende ved at shoppe i genbrugsbutikker er (udover at det er lidt som en skattejagt for voksne) at man kan spinde sine egne historier om tøjets tidligere ejer. Jeg ser helt klart en lille overklasse-privatskoledreng med vandkæmmet hår stå ret bag pulten i den her. Godt at han voksede ud af den.

Kostede 12 pund i favoritgenneren St. John’s Hospice i det temmelig “posh” St. John’s Wood.

English: Dark blue Burberry blazer in top quality and with the nicest buttons. I love blazers with 2/3 length sleeves and that is exactly what you get, when you buy a jacket that once belonged to a tween.

One of the most inspiring parts of second-hand shopping (apart from it being kind of like a treasure hunt for adults, of course) are the stories and images about the clothes’ previous owners that pop up in your brain.

I’m sure this jacket once inhabited the shoulders of a very polite and nicely combed little public school boy. I’m SO glad he grew out of it. I paid 12 pounds for it in my favourite shop, St. John’s Hospice in St. Johns Wood.
