The garment pictured above may contain some Spandex (Lycra in normal English) , but the percentage is probably quite low, and it isn’t an overcoat. I’d imagine that if you could find a picture of a true Spandex overcoat, it would be on a fairly specialist website – you can’t get them in Wantage. Sara Kadolph in her textbook ‘Textiles’ claims that Spandex is an anagram of ‘expands’. This is undeniable.

Yep. It does (from what I could see); you’re right, it probably is; and yeah, I realise that technically it isn’t. Sometimes with these things, you just have to cut yer losses.

EXXO
Snowsports-themed jackets may have spandex in the cuffs to exclude draughts. I got one such from the charity shop the other day after the dentist’s. Don’t worry, it just looks like a normal breathable black north face type thing. Still quite pleased with it. Not one of my less advised charity shop purchases when I stumble out of the dentist in an altered state.

Rubber faced irritant
The guy in the picture looks like he’s spent a bob or two at the dentist’s. While I’m here, don’t we need a question mark after haversack?
