Ah! Scarlet silk linings! A very young-seeming, well spoken, obviously on the upward slope squadron leader sported such to his beautifully-tailored greatcoat at Topcliffe c. 1965.
Best I ever did in such suavity was in a blazer .... lining cost more than the blazer. Which no longer fits, having shrunk from disuse.
