Location Clothing sent me this Storm Trooper jacket with visor a few days ago and I’ll tell you something…I’m glad the weather’s cold and my car’s knackered, because I can wear this thing everywhere.

First off, the basics. This is a top notch ski/snow/outdoor jacket, whatever you want to call it. Light, breathable, fasteners to keep out the wind, holes to let your body breathe, you can see more of the technical stuff here – Location Clothing. It also has the regular 2 side pockets, 2 inside pockets, an arm pocket and an inside pocket near the waist where you could store the goggles/visor.

OK, enough with the basics, what makes this thing better than all the other good winter jackets?

The western world’s financial system is in turmoil, banks nationalised, businesses on their knees whilst hard working citizens watch their bills go up and directors of the aforementioned banks still rake in a bonus that would make even Ashley Cole blush.

The solution? Go clothes shopping my stamped upon proletariat friend. If you can’t look good whilst the Capitalist mammoth crushes your skull with it’s limited edition McQueen Dr. Martins, then when can you?

These are Darwinian economics, vote with your credit limit. Those stores left to die can join Woolworths in the great High Street in the sky…and good ridance to them. The loyal consumer is dead, long live the frugal consumer!

“You’re having a laugh SmartGeezer!”

You’re damn right I am. The problem with going retro is that you can go back to places that no-one actually wants to go back to.

This reminds me of forgetting my PE kit and having to climb the rope with sweet, sweet Fiona laughing at me with her friends.

Why did you laugh Fiona!!!!!! That rope was a symbol of our future!!! Actually, looking back on it, I think it were the pants that were a symbol.

There’s only one reason I’m posting this jumper and that is; when I saw it I got serious deja vu. I swear I used to have something like this when I was about 11, 12 or 13 around 1989/90.

Anyone else getting deja vu looking at this item? I’m thinking it could have been a BMX themed jumper, not sure, but it was definitely white, I remember that. Now I wish I got deja vu over more important things like FA Cup and Grand National winners…o’well.

This Electronic Poet Grey Padded Sweatshirt is £55 reduced from £70. Delivery is £5.
