If only I had an income, I would have to buy this embroidered silk biker jacket. \u00a0 It is not just unconventional, but it immediately reminded me of \u00a0 Gram Parsons and his white Nudie suit on the first Burrito Brothers album.<\/p>\n

Same same but different, as they say in Thailand<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The jacket is at farfetch<\/a>, by Laura Lees, for only $304! \u00a0 Whoever Laura Lees is, I salute her. Here’s a close-up of some embroidery on another one of her designs.<\/p>\n

Oooooh! Do you love it or do you love it?!<\/p>\n

Well, fuck. I have no money but if you’re a wealthy stalker, I’m a size small. Let’s take our minds off shopping by listening to the poignant raw beauty of Gram’s voice. Gone but never, ever forgotten.<\/p>\n
