Cheers Rainworshipper - glad you enjoyed the post.Rainworshipper wrote: December 17th, 2024, 5:41 am The second clip is really good. I started watching Coronation Street from 1986 and soon noticed Audrey wearing her long black mac, I thought she looked lovely, not just in her mac, she was one of those older women who still had good looks, in that mac she looked sublime!
Yes - I must admit I really fancied Audrey - Alma and Raquel too for that matter! I've been doing a bit of digging with regards to Audrey's mac as a member of the Forum did tell me about the manufacturer of such macs some years ago - eventually found the info! It was made by a company called Harglenis and could be bought from C&A and, no doubt, other outlets too.Rainworshipper wrote: December 17th, 2024, 5:41 am The second clip is really good.

I think the one that Bet wore was also made by Harglenis. Love that bit about King's Cross!WealdenMac wrote: December 29th, 2024, 10:37 am Like Maurice Chevalier I remember them very well. They were very popular in the 1980's. My wife had a royal blue one with a red felt lining but rarely wore it. My secretary, knowing of my penchant for shiny macs, said she would have liked to acquire one too but rapidly dropped the idea when her husband said it would be just right for going up to King's Cross "to do a bit of business"!
Great idea that!Shinyladylvr wrote: December 29th, 2024, 5:53 pm My wife purchased one from a John Lewis store. It retained its shiny black form for many years. One lesson we learned was that if you find a good Mac buy two as the chances of finding it again are slim to none.
