I think you mean Balaclava machiel?
A woolly hat with two eye holes and one hole for the mouth - sort of!

Talking of coats getting banned - I just saw that TK Maxx have withdrawn some coats from a Sweedish brand as there is a chain on the sides which goes into the pocket. On the end of the chain, in the pocket is a.........KNIFE!!

(I think of the pen-knife kind! But even so!

)

Legal in winter here, not sure about summer though. But then again it'd be way too warm to wear one

Yeah I read about this too. What a load of fuss over nothing, I mean it is a 2 inch long blade swiss army knife for goodness sake. Its not like it had a machette attatched to it. I could do more damage to somebody with the pen in my pocket. As usual the British press blew it all out of proportion!

Not sure dunny - it looked big enough on TV!! If it's not there then it can't be used. There are a lot of stupid bum fluffed lads out there who would use it without thinking.

What is worrying is that TK Maxx don't know how many of the jackets they had or where they are. That's the whole problem I guess with stores like this they buy in soo much stuff they don't really have a clue about the products.

Also worrying that they got out onto the shop floor in the first place and no one spotted them - they must have known this would be bad publicity!

Can't remember if I said this or not but I'm almost 100% there was a counterfeit Hugo Boss jumper in my local TK Maxx. It felt really really poor quality, the labels were poorly sewn in and looked nothing like I've seen before. The large H logo on the front had Hugo Boss embroiered on it in a weird font & the embroidery was very poorly done. I think it may have been worn before by someone (probably purhcased from a car boot sale) but they then exchanged it for a new jumper in TK Maxx. I hope this was the case & TK Maxx didn't buy in something so obviously fake.
I wish I had taken pics to post on here - it was laughable as to how bad it was!

Can't see why not - you'd probably get some funny looks in the summer & might not be allowed into some petrol stations or shops!

are you allowed to wear one of those jackets in a bank?
