The Age Of STEEL & JELLY babies

Philip, one of my readers, recently sent me a link to a curious item being sold on eBay.

At first glance it is a rather unremarkable brown suit jacket, but once you start looking closer it becomes a bit more interesting.



Ironically this is just the jacket, unlike the source of the original fabric for the suit, which was just the trousers!
