Three of them,
and none
are happy

An embroidered denim jacket. A kangaroo, a koala and a bloke who've all had enough.

Two hundred made, and made for a long summer. When they're gone there's no reprint — the next design will be something else entirely.

Embroidery design: a muscular kangaroo, an Australian bloke in an Akubra and navy singlet, and a koala with its fists up, standing in front of the Australian flag

The back panel, stitched shoulder to hem.

What you're getting

A denim jacket with the whole back stitched, not printed. Thread has weight and texture a screen print never gets — it catches the light, holds up in the wash, and doesn't crack after one summer.

Where it came from

A kangaroo built like it does nothing but train. A koala with its fists up. And a bloke in an Akubra and a singlet standing between them, sunburnt and unimpressed by the pair of them.

Behind them, the flag. Underneath, the only word that needed saying.

It started as a biro sketch on an A4 page. The angry animals were the joke; the fact that it worked as a piece of clothing came later.

The lettering is western slab — the kind you'd find on an old country pub sign, or a shearing shed, or the side of a ute that's seen things.

Where you'll wear it

At the cricket — five days is nothing. If you're out in the bays and you spot the jacket, that's probably us.

Standing up for something — protest in style. Say it without opening your mouth.

Everywhere else — it's a denim jacket. Throw it over anything and it works.
