The Thousands

Finally an eco-friendly clothing line that doesn’t come with obligatory bongo drums and the constant urge to roll up your hemp trousers into a big fat beige-coloured dooby.

Jacqui Alexander and Zac Midalia are the smarts behind Skinny Nelson and Friends, an Australian basics label with the environmental conscience of Al Gore and the clean lines and wearability to rival the frontrunners of Swedish-pioneered understated cool. Each garment is made from 100% organically grown cotton – it’s not like they’re saying your slouch pants are going to single-handedly put an end to the polar ice cap crisis, but at least you can give yourself some mental big ups for doing your bit, one leg at a time.**The range is gender-blurring, neutral-paletted bliss for the fashion forward being looking to layer up/de-layer as the modern climate unpredictably dictates. Whether its the Skinny Tail Long tee, the toasty-looking Cape, or the possibly femme-specific leotards on offer, be sure to get the skinny on your picks of the bunch post haste – Somedays gets their first drop in August.
