`Colour Parties'

Sir - Like Paul Buckley (June 30th), I was struck by the photograph of young Sinn Fein supporters at Bodenstown. I was led to wonder whether there is an official supplier of uniforms to Sinn Fein. Might your fashion correspondent be despatched to find the source of those immensely fashionable "black berets, dark glasses, black gloves, jackets, skirts and shoes"?

But Paul Buckley ignored the marchers' most impressive fashion accessory. Where, oh where, do they get those ultra-cool anoraks? - Yours, etc., Brian J. Goggin,
