    For me, it's a union suit. One of these:

    Given to me as a secret santa gag gift & worn during the snowy season a couple of years ago. Incredibly warm & comfortable & yes it does have a flap in the back. :D

    I thought I had a gorilla suit hanging on the wall, but it turns out it's just a mirror.

    Brought tears to my eyes.

    Sorry to disappoint Muise but I had a gig at the swan summit! Much more interesting I must say, those swans are no stuck up snobs :rolleyes:

    See my vest, see my vest,
    Made from real gorilla chest,
    Feel this sweater, there's no better,
    Than authentic Irish setter.

    See this hat, 'twas my cat,
    My evening wear - vampire bat,
    These white slippers are albino
    African endangered rhino.

    Many worry about Artificial Intelligence. I worry far more about Organic Idiocy.

    A floor length red velvet cape, something like this:

    It was part of a bridesmaids outfit for a winter wedding. I looked ridiculous in it.
    It's come in handy for Hallowe'en a few times though.

    I think I devalued it when I got the lining redone so I could keep wearing it. I thought it was just an older biker jacket from the 60s but the guy doing it said it was really old. I went and checked it out and it turned out to be what I said.

    Can't remember all the details but due to the make of the zips and maker the year could be identified. It has many memories for me as I have it 20 years myself. The originally lining was an indicator too because the green lining meant it was used in the tanks as opposed to the planes. Who ever originally owned it put in an extra leather patch so the collar could be warn up.
