***Richard,I once had a waxed long military jacket that did not need hanging up,it was so rigid that it stood like a tent on the hallway floor.
When I was in the Sixth Form (before I got asked to leave!) I used to get all my gear from the Army & Navy Stores.I had a huge Khaki Great coat that I wore for riding my bike which used to weigh a ton when it got wet. kept me warm though. I also had a battledress that I used for my paper round and a rucksack for school use.
They used to come without the buttons so mine had my dads old Brass Merchant Navy ones sewn on which looked the part.
