Prince Billy 'winter thyme' cord hood jacket. $290 from Fat 52. 52 Johnson Street Fitzroy
There is something very Graham Garden (The Goodies) about corduroy.
Indeed there is something just plain ‘garden’ about the stuff. You know,
you’re out in the yard, raking up leaves in the heartbreaking angle of
autumn light. You’ve got leather patches on all extremities, you stop to
smoke a pipe …. whatever. But then again you’ve probably just eaten
ergot ridden rye bread and are hallucinating the whole thing. This
jacket drags the old cord into the clarity of 2004, where the bread is
safe and no one except weird, bearded men smoke the old briar.
