Trend watch: Feeling unusual? Wrap up in a Withnail & I checked coat – NewsBreak

It’s more than 30 years since Withnail retreated to the Lake District in his sweeping checked coat. The original was bought at auction by Chris Evans in 2000 but you can still commission your own from the film’s costume designer, Andrea Galer, via her website, andrea-galer.co.uk (from £1,500), or purchase one of her patches featuring the film’s characters (£20) to stitch inside your own checked homage to the film.
