Went out looking to buy a cagoule for my son yesterday. They no longer exist. You can only buy jackets which come down to just below your waist. Is this a crafty plan by the manufactures to sell more overtrousers?

 Cagoule, I havent heard thet word since I was a little girl.
|
|
 tee hee!
|
|
 Don't Millets, FAS etc still do 'kag-in-a-bag'?
|
|
 The U.S. mail-order house Campmor still offers a good cagoule:

 JJ aka is correct. I was in Millets at the weekend and they had a load of kids' "Kag in a Bag" thingies in stock.

 Creaky,
I've had a look at that link...YIKES..!!
Is it Nazgul from Lord of the Rings?

Ian:
I think it's actually a Star Wars thing. Campmor is known far and wide for the elegance of its presentation and its sly yet pithily resonant references to popular culture.

 Cagoules are no longer available because they were an alarming shade of red and leaked.
Not surprising when you consider that the Peter Storm ones used to come with a little lapel pin stuck through them.
Hawkshead do pac-a-macs though, which are quite similar.

 Mine was blue and leaked

I had cut down adult waterproof trousers which my dad got free from work so they were the right leanth but too wide, remember the diddy men.

We are the Diddy men , the Diddy men, the Diddy men.
We are the Diddy men and we come from Notty Ash.
Ha, Ha, Ha, you wont get thet song out of your head for hours.

My mother used to sing to me:
"We are the Ovalteenies, happy girls and boys!"
Some advert when she was a kid...can't stop that one now...help

 I've still got an orange one in the boot of the car.

Childhood has a lot to answer for.

Hey Mike why not stick your cag up on EBAY. If you can't sell it to seventies gear revivalists at a silly price just draw a TNF logo on it with felt-tip.
Failing that there are a few orange fetishists on here that might like it...
