******VERY RARE FIND********* Hand made by ACTWU-TAVT Union Textile Workers (Zoom in for stitching details) 100% wool Navy Blue The thing that makes this a rare Diamond among clothing finds are the buttons which each have the slogan HONNI•SOIT QUI•MAL•Y•PENSE It is the spelling of the first word HONNI that is incredibly rare as it is the French usage and is used ironically to hint at hidden bad intentions. Where the English spelling HONI is used much more frequently, is associated with the Order of the Garter and is found on medallions of military, UK’s Royal Coat of Arms and therefore all British passports. See photo for explanation and examples of the spelling.
