What is Draylon??

It`s a shiny velvety looking man made fabric which was commonly used in covering furniture such as sofas. Very popular in the 70`s and was a bugger for static.

I actually asked my offspring to buy me a beige cardi for Christmas a few years back. They refused point blank.

They have taste & obviously care about your wellbeing.

My dad used to wear cable knit cardis in a variety of colours including mustard.He got them from Pollards a shop I used to buy baby vests and socks from.

I love a velvet sofa but it’s got to be good quality.

I wonder if there would be any colour transfer from this jacket to items worn under it. I have a blue & white linen top that I love & a bra that now has greyish blue straps after being worn under it.

I could never hang a bra like that on the line, on account of the 'washing police' living opposite my garden & clothes line. Yes, she does pass judgement.
