Tui and I spotted a guy in a cinema in Dalston yesterday who was wearing a great naval inspired jacket. So Tui approached him and he was more than happy to let us take a photo, which was great. He was very interested in the project and asked for the web address etc.
But he told us an interesting story - one of his mates was wearing a military-inspired coat recently and went into a Sainsbury's, but the security guard at the entrance got really mad at him!! Apparently the security guard used to be in the military and was very angry that people were taking the uniform to use as fashion, which he felt devalued its importance and significance.
I had never before considered that people might view the cross-over of military, naval or royal garments into fashionable dress as a bad thing, but apparently it is an issue...just something to think about.
