Puffa Jackets

Normally worn by skinny 'bovver boys' who thought they made them look hard by hiding their lack of muscle - but actually made them look like over-inflated Michelin men.

However, they were also worn by luvvie fashion victims and genuine gangsta types, who used the padding to disguise any oddly-shaped lumps of metal they were carrying into nightclubs when frisked.
