The largest variety of colours were made in W.Germany. The first 2 were the
most popular. 65% Polyester 35% Triacetate. They were that popular, some had a good go at copying them. Sky, Yellow, Royal and Red made by EN-K Yellow, Sky, Navy and Royal made by Walker. Two Colorado's made in the U.K. by 3892 Made from 55% Nylon 45% Triacetate and have a square Adidas trefoil YKK zip. Colorado's made in the U.K. 56% Nylon 44% Acetate This one, which is made in the U.K. is a bit unique as it's the only one I have which is made from 69% Polyester 31% Cupro |
This top is exactly the same style as the Longbeach. God only knows why it was named Manhattan. The only things different from a Longbeach are an Opti Zip, thicker hood cord, 100% Polyester and made in the U.K. Anyone know why it got the style name Manhattan? |
"Wellington" hooded top, (not the footwear).
Made in the U.K. These tops are lightweight as no part of the item is lined. They are made from a very
shiny 75% Polyester 25% Triacetate. Déjà vu? They reproduced a Wellington again in about 1991. This time in grey and yellow, but with the typical post 1990 "cheap" materials. See what you think |
Baseball style yolk. Very, very long hood cord. Two zipped pock's. These were made in the late 80's and are about on my Old School collection cut off point. From here on, it all went a bit Hong Kong and "low cost" Polyester. |
