    The ones I've seen, the hunt jackets aren't Brown Thomas ones, at least I don't think so (it is the new burberry). I saw my first purple one today. If this gets them out of p.j.'s then it's ok by me.

    Why do you want to know where they came from? Do you want to buy one?

    when i first encountered these "I<3PB" jackets, they reminded me of the paco rabane and lacoste clothing rip-offs of the 90's, its not a good look OP, you're probably better off not knowing where they came from and avoiding them completely!

    Bloody awful coats, I agree its better than the pajamas, but I saw one of the pajama brigade in her pajamas with the coat over it recently. Maybe trailer park chic is this seasons new trend.

    I saw these coats around the same time the missus wanted one saying "XXX(famous person) wears it"

    After I pointed out about 20 or so individual "ethnic minorities" and assorted scangballs wearing those coats she quickly changed her mind.

    Ben Sherman was murdered because of the Chavvishness of it all as was Burberry. Tommy Hilfiger suffered a smaller effect.

    Had to google it to see what the OP was talking about!

    Some of the images remind me of the Puffa Jackets that were popular
    in the mid 90's where they started off with Country Sporting types and
    rich kids wearing them only to to get popular with the Knackers wearing cheap shiny plastic looking versions of them
    in bright colours .....then they became unpopular with the rich kids!
    (circa the Levi 501's and deck shoes with curly leather laces timeframe)
    On the P.J's front I've seen secondary school students (females) when I'm passing the bus stop on the way to work now sporting
    pink pajama's bottoms under their school uniform's skirt which I thought was very strange.

    (Not that I'm intentionally looking at schoolgirls in my travels )

    I'll have to keep an eye on Eastenders, maybe the producers could take Bianca Jackson out of her silver puffa coat and swap it for a Paul's Boutique one. It'd make a change.

    had a green one of these in primary school, til one of the lads on the school bus tied the strings of the hood to the bar on the seat in front of me, then had to use his lighter to burn the cord 'cause i couldn't get the knot open...

    long story short- what idiot puts foam filling in bus seats? that stuff goes up like petrol, i was lucky i thought to slide out the arms of what was left of one very crispy jacket! :(

    BT are the official stockist of the PB range for Ireland. So if what you saw were not knock offs and were bought in a bricks and mortar store in Ireland, then they are BT stock.:)

    The ones that I have seen are all of the same style, a fox hunt style, looked at the official PB page and low and behold the one's I've seen sported aren't on there.

    Back in the 90s I wore too much fila with the black and red F, oh the shame.

    That logo was pretty cool even though I did not like most of the clothing by fila.
    Up near the black spot Wickem street? back in the 90's there
    was a Fila shop wasnt there? with naff naff caravan 49 type pants/jackets
    and fila tops. The cost of the clothing for its time was ultra expensive.

    I hated most of the clothing but once bought a top that I thought looked cool with the Fila logo on it, It looked like an under-Armour type top with a fila logo on the collar neck area. WAAaaay back then it looked like some sci-fi star trek the next generation type uniform top.

    EDIT: LOL!!! :D:D I found the very top!!
    The logo was almost like something you would find on the TV show "V"

    When I saw the first one I thought it was a Beastie Boy's jacket - they had an album called Paul's Boutique.

    They are f**king horrible jackets, very popular with scobes.
