Real mink? Tut-tut.

Are you bidding for it Colin?

Gotta love those lapels.

70s fashion was truly awful, man.

I lived the late 70s as a young teenager, and I always hated them bell-bottoms, and those shirts with long collars. I threw it all in the garbage can as soon as I could.

I liked them, especially the bell-bottoms.
