Storm Coat Help

Post by Boggle Boggle Boggle »

Does anyone have a decent large yellow storm coat going begging. The old one before the “bomber” type. I’m tall and the new ones are just too small. Plus not sure what the consensus is here but I think since Dimensions starting making the uniform it’s gone to pot. My storm coat is less than six months old and the high vis strips came off and the logo is rubbing off. Look like a tramp. Where my old orange gortex jacket from about 2007 is still tip top. Thanks

You'd think it would be illegal, security issues for a start

It is against ebay policy to sell current RM uniform.
If you see any you can report it and they are pretty good at removing it.

Old/obsolete uniform is allowed to be sold.

Do you mean the ebay one which I can't be bothered to look for?
Or do you mean a RM one which I don't think exists?

He asked for a link to the official permission to sell uniform on ebay.
You have posted a picture of a coat. :arrrghhh

I never said the coat didn't exist.
i know the coat exists. The question was whether the sale of the coat should have been allowed under ebay rules.

And don't take everything you see on ebay at face value.
Just because some bid up to £109 it doesn't mean they have any intention of paying that much.
Sometimes people just piss around and I am sure anyone who has sold stuff on ebay has experience of that.
