Prince's battered Barbour
The trads will be going mad for this look http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-21732501
You can bet your bottom dollar the jacket did not get that way through Charlie's previous endeavours. He probably told his butler to wear it in for him, so it looked as if he was a horny-handed son of toil.
Either that, or he borrowed the garment from someone.
I like the way that he is wearing cufflinks to build hedges. One always does.... one always does.

LOL! Spot on analysis.
Barbour's marketing department will be "designing" a patchwork Beaufort for the autumn "collection" right now.
Contrary to lies of FNB and Woofboxer, I (and most of the other "Buff Bastards") have been banned from posting on this forum. There are only a few posters left so don't waste your time on here. This forum is dead and nobody cares.

The English upper class/aristocracy have been doing this since at least the beginning of the industrial revolution.
Those who eulogise hard toil usually haven't done any.

Re: Prince's battered Barbour
The industrial farming community in Blighty, is very good at marketing themselves as custodians of the countryside with a couple of acres of organic produce and struggling to carve a living off the land.
Still, give me a view of rolling green countryside, hedges, woods and lakes over the city any day.

I've always found Charlie a genuine if amusing character. I enjoyed that story of his learning about Communism at university and asking if he could join the party.

And he wished he had worn jeans to a Status Quo concert.
I actually respect a lot of what he has done for organic produce and his Princes Trust has helped a lot of young people start businesses and I think he is an all round decent enough chap and could have been a good King, if his mother had abdicated, like the Dutch queen.
He would have muddled in politics, but with the whoremasters in parliament these days, I would consider this oversight a very good thing.
