The 'real' budgie jacket was two tone cotton. Quite light and thin. Mine was light brown with 2 dark brown chevrons that went across the front when it was zipped up. It had side pockets too. The collar was the tulip rounded style. It may have had a dark brown stripe down the sleeves too but I can't remember. In the programme, Faith's jacket looked to be white with blue chevrons?

Brings back memories , mine was moave and purple AHHHHH!
I thought Budgie jackets were made out of suede leather??? I remember dragging my mates around Leeds looking for one. Most of the shops had sold out apart from one that had a 'suedette' which was nice and cheap but looked it. It fell to bits a few years later. Happy days!! (or was that another TV series?)
