    Do you want to repeat that question again? :rolleyes::D:D

    From the official Paddington Bear Web site:

    What are the correct colours for Paddingtonâ??s clothes? [​IMG]
    In the very first book, A Bear Called Paddington which was published in 1958, Paddington was found on the station by the Browns wearing nothing but a "rather dirty coloured" hat. Two chapters on Mrs. Brown took him shopping and bought him a blue duffle coat. Paddington did not acquire Wellington boots until the first soft toys were made by Gabrielle Designs in 1972. They put the bears into various coloured boots to help them stand up and subsequently everyone has come to think of Paddington wearing boots.

    In the original television series, Paddington wore a black hat and blue coat and, very occasionally, red Wellington boots.

    The more recent television series, the current picture books and the majority of products show Paddington in a red hat and blue coat. When he wears them the boots are, more often than not, red.

    In the USA the very first bears, made by Eden Toys, were sold wearing a yellow hat and pale blue coat whereas in the UK, they were originally sold wearing a diverse combination of colours. In more recent years, the favoured (and most popular) colour combinations have been red hat, blue coat and red boots or blue hat, red coat and black boots.

    So, in other words, there are really no truly "correct" colours for Paddington's clothes. The nearest to these would be a red or black hat, blue coat and red boots.
