Compo's Jacket

[Compo]

Last of the Summer Wine lasted for 31 series and my question is during all those series does anyone know how many of the "same" jackets did Compo wear?? There is no way he wore the same jacket for all those series. Same as the "rope" he used as a belt. It is an interesting question....

I would say four.

The pilot, 70s, 80s to early 90s, later 90s.

When it came to Clegg's jacket, which originally belonged to Sallis, they had a very precise replica made many years later.

I would have thought more than 4 jackets as that is a long time (30 series) for a jacket to last..

Amusing that when Peter Sallis went originally to discuss the part they thought he had fallen on hard times when, in fact, he had deliberately dress for it.
