God not another denim jacket

Didn't she

God not another denim jacket

Didn't she mention a camouflage-patterned jacket that she had 'designed'? She was reminiscing about her dad's army uniform. In the US, they call this uniform 'fatigues'. Maybe the same in the British army? Anyway, I can't imagine it selling very well, but it well might, knowing her popularity.

I saw the jumper. Ugh.

Oh heck!

The camouflage jacket has just been featured in her style edit advert. It’s not my cup of tea at all.

Not my cup of PG Tips, either, but it seems that camouflage in fashion will be a big thing this autumn and winter.

Hideous!!

She repeated over and over that it's not 'grunge', but a camo jacket is always a bit on the down market side.

What’s that saying? “The lady doth protest too much, methinks.”

 

[Brissles]

The 'camo' jacket is a casual wear and once again something by Ruth's designers that has been made to look 'smart', and worn by ladies with front creases in their jeans and who have just walked out of the 'wash and set' hairdressers !

It might be decent if it was grunge. Camo jackets aren't meant to be smart.

For a while there Anne Dawson took to wearing camo cargo trousers and T shirt .Unfortunately it looked more Vietnam war refugee than fashion.

I`ve no idea how anybody can find camouflage patterned clothing nice ? Years ago there used to be Army and Navy stores which sold ex Military surplus. No idea if they still exist anywhere ? Anyway the shop always smelled of sweaty feet and BO and the one in my then home town just had everything in piles here, there and everywhere. They sold foreign Army surplus too and you could buy Russian, German etc ex military wear.
One of my sons went through a kind of Goth phase (he`s 45 now ) and wouldn`t wear anything which wasn`t black. He bought a huge black great coat from them which was ex Royal Navy I think and it came down to his ankles and a pair of ex Army boots. He looked like a younger version of Uncle Fester but with hair !
Funnily enough my oldest son has been in the British Army for 30 years this year and his wife is also ex Army and I know for a fact that neither of them would consider buying or wearing camo clothing in their private lives. It would be like civilian workers wearing their Bank uniform or shop uniform to go out in.

I remember in late 60‘s and again in mid 80’s the army great coats being very fashionable for teenagers who wanted to be a bit different. Most could walk on their own as they were so stiff.

 

[Brissles]

I think she's going down a bit of a weird route with her clothing brand. Camouflage jackets, cricket sweaters, animal print on everything, and top price on the lot.

 

[caretodiffer]

Hideous!!

One colour choice (blue) is already sold out. I don't understand why they put shirring on the sides at the bottom of the jacket, it will only cling and draw attention to the bottom.

Camo clothing is illegal in some countries if you're not in the armed forces. Going on a cruise to the Caribbean? Leave the camo at home. Apparently you can be arrested and jailed for wearing it. Something I saw on one of the YouTube channels that does reviews and tips for getting the best out of a cruise holiday... if true, then flying out to a Caribbean break to some islands would be a risk with camo in your luggage.

Oh gosh you beat me to it!

I was going to say, you need to get yourself down to the Army and Navy store for some real camo!

It’s been so long since could leave house, so I don’t know if ours is still there - must ask my brother!

In fact one of my nieces is in a bit of a grungey phase, so sure she’d get some bits she likes in there.

My brother - who was desperate to join the army but my mum was desperate for him not to! - used to love that shop!

I remember he was *obsessed* with his army action man and used to want to dress like him, in army gear too!

He grew out of that but the shop was still good for hard-wearing clobber!

We used to get some camping bits in there too...

Think Ruth is trying to elevate the look?! Each to their own...!

Langy could put her logo on a skidmark & the numpties would buy it. The messages/interaction ontheshow is a bit cringe
