Hipsters mocked as charity shop sells £10 jacket covered in chewing gum

A shopper has mocked 'hipsters' after discovering a lime green blazer adorned with packets of chewing gum for sale in a charity shop. Allan McCutcheon spotted the 'mint condition' £10 blazer while browsing for computer games in a branch of the Crisis charity shop.

As the 41-year-old scanned the racks, his eyes landed upon a lime green blazer that featured 20 packets of Wrigley's Extra spearmint flavoured chewing gum along the lapels and hemline. The previous crafty owner even attached individual gum pellets down the front of the jacket and cuffs, labelled 'green blazer with Wrigley's'.

After inspecting the quirky creation, shop supervisor Allan admitted the suit wasn't his cup of tea, branding it a 'fashion faux-pas'.
