Smoke Damaged Leather Sale Finally Over
24th Nov 2011
Clothing specialist for daycint young stylish gentlemen Diesel have erected a nice Christmas message on their first floor premises on North Maina replacing their traditional banner ad for leather.
We assume this spells a permanent conclusion to the world’s longest running smoke damage sale which began in early 1921 after the burning of Cork the previous December in which many leather jackets and other pure daycint fashionable items were damaged. We'll miss it.

Unlike the manner in which petrol can ignite, diesel is a slow burning fuel and the boys were lucky that their shop was christened the latter or the several decade smoke sale might never have happened.
The 2010 census revealed, that on average, Cork households from Ballyvolane to Ballyphehane have at least five leather garments from Diesel and figures calculated by the PROC Department of Daycint Style with Responsibility for Show Boating estimate that the Cork shop may have sold almost half of the entire world’s leather garments in the last ten years.
Diesel now do be daycint |
“You just go in for a look around on a Saturday afternoon”, said loitering youth Buckets O’Leary, “and you come out looking like a Hell’s Angel”.
Hurray for Diesel. And de crissmuss.
