Get a Line On You [Brian Jones]

Dedicated Follower of Fashion Part 2

So let's continue our shopping trip with Brian.

(I hope everyone can read it, because I'm too lazy to type it out)

"Our sharpest dresser, Brian spent a small fortune at boutiques. Collecting clothes might have been his kind of therapy, as he shopped more frequently during times of stress: the day after his court case was adjourned he went to Chelsea Antique Market for a spree typical in its list of exotic purchases: a mandarin coat, a pink fringed coat, pink velvet cape, a flannel-and-lace jacket, embroidered and velvet jackets, two velvet scarves, four pairs of trousers, two kimonos and two scarves, two strings of bells, a blouse and a pink beaded belt. In New York, too, Brian had indulged himself in expeditions to the ladies jewelry departments of such stores as Saks Fifth Avenue and Bergdorf Goodman. A New York journalist friend commented: 'If he gave nothing else to the world, Brian was the first heterosexual male to start wearing costume jewelry from Saks Fifth Avenue.'" -Bill Wyman, Stone Alone, 1990  

I'm not sure where to start exactly, because as one could already read in the quote by Bill Wyman, Brian had lots of clothes, but I'll try. 

So let's start with this:

Brian's outfit at Monterey Pop Festival, 1967 is maybe one of the most known (or maybe I just see it a lot 😅) I'm not sure what he's exactly wearing, because it's not just one thing, but several layers combined... or like Eric Burdon said in his song Monterey: "His Majesty, Prince Jones, smiled as he moved among the crowd" A lot of his outfits definitely had a certain extravagance...
