remember Han Solo’s snorkel in the snow when he was looking for Luke? and it was too cold for even the Tauntaun? but he was fine cos of his snorkel’s hood was up?
just shows ye how belter they are in pish weather.
I used to get a new snorkel everytime i grew out of old one back in the primary scool days. Im sure my maw bought them from a wee indian women in a shop.
£12 a pop, alot of money back in the 80′s im sure you will agree.
The navy blue wans mind, with the orange inner to the hood. The hood being stuck to the jacket by the biggest fuck of super zip ever seen.
And as for the grey farm-pubes stuck roon the hood…..well i used to chew them on my way hame when all the other weans with benzini jakeits chased me at hame time. Tho i was never caught and the padding blocked any passing blows.
It really is the flak jacket for weans in the 80′s. Infact gie them tae the troops in Iraq.
And speaking of foreskins, my mate just texted me there telling me he’s got us tickets for the show on the 23rd, so see you then! I’ll be the cunt down the front wearing etc etc.
I’ve got one like that, it’s warm. And it’s from Dorothy Perkins. Sometimes I don’t like wearing it though, if I’ve got no makeup on and I’m going to Morrisons or something. I think it looks a bit Benefits Chic.
“Did you ever just wear your snorkel by the hood, fastened under yer chin, as a cape though?
Dan-dan-daaaaaaaaaan!! Super-Munster!!”
Naw but when it was really fucking windy, we’d put our hands in the pockets, then pull the thing up over yer head like a big wing and let the wind blow us the fuck over.

aye. it was amazing, what a feeling. did you used to hold it by the bottom corners above yer heid while it was tied round yer neck in strong winds? so as you could lean right into the wind and pretend ye had a hang glider/parachute? good times.
Good Wikipedia post from Scandinavian lassie – “Brands such as Lord Anthony, Campri, Keynote and Brutus made their names selling snorkel parkas.”
I’m trawling back through the mists of time to remember whether I had a Gloverall dufflecoat before or after my parka, I don’t remember wearing it by the the hood, fastening it under the chin and running about like a mad yin – I was 15 though! I do remember standing in the shop with my mum after clarifying that the coat was a properly branded “Gloverall” deciding whether I wanted the airforce blue or the beige. Blue or beige? Beige or blue? It’s no’ easy being a teenager.

Good Wikipedia post from Scandinavian lassie -
-My grandmommy worked in a designer factory where they made duffel coats/ parkas and other warm items for i.e skiing So to Christmas and birthdays we always “knew” what we got from her. But the fact is; it was brilliant; warm; and it did look good too.
I had one in purple when I was 7…..LOOK IT WAS THE 80′s I WAS 7…..anyway I remember zippin the hood up..right up…and the bloody zip gets caught in the fur………..god that sounds wrong…Anywho theres me stuck in a snorkel heatin up hittin a mad claustraphobic freeky fit while ma sister roll about pishin themselves laffin and my ma tellin me to calm doon tryin to fix the zip armed with a pair of scissors.

poor ya…at least you did survive….I wonder what you did to yer sis after that episode…
PS; Your music on myspace is cool
Snorkel parkas are ace! Got up to all sort in my snorkel at school in the 80s, though by the end of the year that nice orange lining was usually pretty grubby and a seam or two had ripped open Mmm … time for a new one next term !
It was me that wrote the Wikipedia article, and it’s my snorkel parka website http://www.spuggie1234.com that links from the bottom of that page.

What is it with you and blogging about coats?
I got a snorkel similar to that from Primark for £12. I would say that’s a bargain.
Horrible word that, intit? Snorkel. It sounds like a euphemism for your foreskin.

This is staying inside all day weather, I think you’ll find.
Did you ever just wear your snorkel by the hood, fastened under yer chin, as a cape though?
Dan-dan-daaaaaaaaaan!! Super-Munster!!
i will be using the first snorkel so the jokes on you limmy.
Windy as fook!
What did you keep in that wee pocket on the sleeve?
Me it was chuddy.

did anyone read the last entry on the wiki page on the snorkel parka? is nothing sacred?!
Benzini……hahahahahahaha.
Do you think you’d get lifted if you went out wearing both types of snorkel at the same time?
