Note To Self

Whenever I go around to Tony's again, make sure I remember to pack all my stuff...

So, as you can see, I am a pretty fashionable dude. I think Tony does a good job modeling the garment in the eBay picture!

Just in case you are thinking of bidding on it, I think its only fair to fill in some of the history, so you can see just what great pedigree it has come from.

I acquired the jumper around the turn of the century, but before that it was owned by one John Lennon, who is said to have written 'Help' while wearing it.

Before Mr Lennon owned it, it was reputed to be the favourite item of clothing of Mr Steve McQueen, and if you look closely, you will recognize the very same jumper in the famous motor cycle scene in the Great Escape.

However, after a drunken Friday night around a friends house, Steve McQueen left the jumper in the cats bedding, and never saw it again. Rumour has it, that, eager to cash in on celebrity, McQueens friend sold it to a traveling salesman on his way to Liverpool...

The trail of ownership goes cold now for several decades, however, it is known that while posing for the 'Your Country Needs You' posters, Lord Kitchener kept warm by wearing the very jumper that you can now bid on, on eBay....

What are you waiting for????!
