Donkey jackets

[johnnywgk]

just got a glimps of the professionals, and some guy, who's now in (eastenders) is wearing one. Not seen a Donkey jacket for hundreds of years.

Anyone still got one, ever had one?

Always best to have one with NCB on. (National Coal Board for you youngsters).
Still some around the ex-coalfields.

Donkey jackets were great. They probably got phased out due to Hi-viz being demanded in so many situations these days

Donkey Jacket...Bloody hell not heard that for a while!

The standard issue 'florescent' jacket of the 1980's. Everyone had one. Coalmen, dustmen, council workers, teenagers, men, women (ummm).

Also standard fit were a set of DMs and a great big "anarchy" symbol.
